Description
The MFC-8870DW Laser Printer Wireless offers economical and environmentally sound duplex capability that includes automatic two-sided printing, copying, scanning and faxing. You can scan a large multi-page, single-sided document and then print them on half the paper (odd pages on front, even pages on back), and save paper costs on all other functions by using up both sides of every sheet — without the hassle of having to flip the paper yourself. With the MFC-8870DW Laser Printer Wireless duplex functionality, you can take a typical document file and simply choose to print it as a duplexed document right from the MFC-8870DW’s print menu, with the orientation you prefer.
You can also copy or scan two sides of the same document and either print the copy or store the scan as two single-sided pages, or as a single two-sided page. Or, you can copy or scan two single-sided documents and produce a copy or store a scan as a single two-sided page. You can even scan a two-sided document for faxing with only one step and it will be received as two single-sided pages. The MFC-8870DW Laser Printer Wireless has a convenient flatbed design that accommodates either single sheets or bound documents for copying, faxing, or scanning. As a full-function stand-alone fax machine, the MFC-8870DW Laser Printer Wireless supports up to 340 total speed dial locations, and also incorporates dual access and broadcast faxing features. It stores up to 600 pages for Quick Scan faxing or out-of-paper fax reception. When operating as a scanner, the unit is capable of color scanning up to 9,600 dpi interpolated resolution (up to 600 x 2,400 dpi optical).
Save time and reduce errors with instant direct access through your network connected MFC-8870DW Laser Printer Wireless to a virtually infinite number of e-mail and fax addresses stored in your LDAP network address books. Then you can quickly send faxes and Internet faxes to your selection, and perform scan-to-e-mail-address functions. The color scanner function comes bundled with document management and OCR software. ScanSoft PaperPort SE with OCR software is available for Windows and Presto! Page Manager is available for Mac users. Meanwhile, Networking options for the MFC-8870DW include wired Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless, allowing you to place the unit in any wireless network environment. The unit is compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems (Windows 98/NT4.0/2000/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 9.1-9.2, OS X 10.2.4 or greater).

This was my third Brother MFC printer. I was trying to replace my current MFC9600 that has been been excellent for more than 5 years. I wanted the duplex functionality, the better print quality, as well as the some of the additional features. Faster faxing, faster and better quality scanning, faster copying and printing, better quality prints and copies, and many more very beneficial features that I really liked. being technically savvy, it was a breeze setting it up as a wireless printer without using the Brother wizard in the CD.
I was very pleased with my purchase. Everything was actually perfect until I tried printing on an envelope. The first time I printed on an envelope, the result was a completely wrinkled envelope. I thought that I could survive with a wrinkled envelope anyway. This time, I kept getting the message “Check Paper Size”. After a few calls to customer service, the problem was still not resolved. Printing on an envelope is a show stopper for me! Hopefully Brother will fix this issue so I can buy this printer again. Yes! Except for the envelope issue, this is the best printer on the market.
