PRODUCT LAUNCH BROTHER DESKTOP MONO RANGE

Life in mono With many offices downsizing and workforces increasingly working in disparate locations, the appetite for small mono laser printers is increasing – and Brother UK’s latest product launches look to address this market.

While some employers are now mandating that employees return to the office full- time, many are happy to maintain hybrid arrangements and have even downsized their offices as a result. This means that demand for compact printers that maintain high quality output is increasing. Into this market, Brother UK has recently launched a compact range of mono laser printers for businesses, helping resellers to support customers with downsized offices and decentralised workforces. Quality in compact format The professional desktop range of mono laser printers includes the HL-L2865DW, MFC- L2960DW and MFC-L2980DW. The three new devices are designed to offer businesses the quality and performance of a large enterprise model, in a compact unit. The HL-L2865DW weighs 7.1kg, and the MFC-L2960DW and MFC-L2980DW both weigh 12.4kg, with every component optimised to reduce overall machine size, helping businesses make the most of their office space without compromising on performance. Other features include fast print speeds of 34ppm, 5GHz WiFi, Ethernet and USB connectivity and a 250-sheet paper tray. The MFC devices also have 50-sheet ADF with

two-sided scanning of up to 22.5ipm, 8.8cm

colour touchscreen, and feature a Planar Heating Element, reducing energy consumption and resulting in a first page out time that is half that of the predecessor models.

All three devices come equipped with the latest industry-standard security features, including firmware encryption and BLI security validation. They also comply with the latest legislation on privacy and data security laid out by the new PSTI regulations. For instance, the MFC models also have AD and LDAP user authentication, with the flagship MFC- L2980DW including a built-in NFC reader to ensure only authorised individuals can print sensitive documents. Brother Cloud Solutions The MFC-L2960DW and MFC-L2980DW are compatible with Brother Cloud Solutions, which includes products such as Tungsten Automation’s ControlSuite and cloud based Printix, to enable document workflow authentication, access controls and activity management. “Businesses want to access benefits like automatic supplies replenishment, greater oversight of devices and software solutions that help strengthen security and optimise document management,” says Terry Caulfield, chief commercial officer at Brother UK. “For example, Brother Cloud Solutions is our suite of software tools that helps businesses to improve workflows and increase productivity as they accelerate their digital transformation. “Brother Cloud Solutions also help bolster security across what has become an increasingly decentralised network of devices. Secure print and scan are essential for businesses and its important resellers can assure customers that reducing product size
