BROTHER MFC J4510DW PRINTER REVIEW INSTALL
The first is that you can install just the print driver, but if you want the scanner driver, you need to do a complete install that includes PaperPort. We did encounter two minor annoyances, however. Setting up the MFC-J5520DW was, for the most part, quick and easy.
The guide covers the MFC-J5520DW as well as two additional models, but you won’t find it difficult or confusing to figure out what does and doesn’t apply to your model. Brother provides both a setup poster and a more detailed 82-page user’s guide.
BROTHER MFC J4510DW PRINTER REVIEW MAC OS
There’s the unit itself with a connected power cord, four starter ink cartridges, and a CD with print and scan drivers for Windows and the Mac OS X, as well as a copy of PaperPort 12SE. What’s in the boxĪs with most of the MFPs and printers we’ve tested, there isn’t a lot in the box. To the right of the screen are two icons - a home button and an indicator that tells you that the unit is busy performing an operation. You control local operations such as fax, copy, and scan from the WFC-J5520DW’s large, 3.7-inch color touchscreen. The standard capacity cartridges cost about $13 for the color and $20 for the black, while the Super High Yield cartridges cost about $25 for color and $40 for the black cartridge.
The standard ink cartridges print approximately 550 pages (black and color), while high yield cartridges are also available, producing up to 2,500 pages in black and 1,200 pages in color. On the right side of the output slot is a swing-away panel that covers the slots where the ink cartridges are installed. To the left of the output slot, a small hinged door covers sockets for media cards including SD and Compact Flash and a USB plug for a thumb drive. This printer doesn’t seem particularly compact, until you realize it’s capable of printing on the jumbo, 11 × 17 inch stuff. This size paper can be fed via a rear multipurpose input tray that folds out from the rear panel with an 80-sheet capacity, or from the MFP’s unusual paper tray on the unit’s front bottom. That is, until you consider that the MFC-J55420DW is capable of printing on A3/ledger size paper - the jumbo, 11 × 17 inch stuff. This printer doesn’t seem particularly compact, at 19.3 × 13.6 × 9.4 inches with the output tray retracted, and weighing 25.5 pounds. The auto document feeder (ADF) is recessed into the top panel and unfolds when needed, and the entire top panel lifts up to expose the scan platen. The MFC-J5520DW is rather plain-looking, a rectangular black cube with a silver accent stripe on the front panel. So don’t be fooled by the “Business” in the $199 Brother Business Smart MFC-J5520DW: It’s the perfect example of a business printer you should be using at home. “Business” printers often have higher page yield cartridges than those meant for home use. If this description fits your family, it also means you’re going through a lot of ink on a regular basis. Yet many homes have multiple users and run numerous pages through a printer every week. One is durability: “Home” printers are designed for casual use, and not really built to do a lot of printing on a continuous basis. Here’s a quirk of the tech world: Many printers and MFPs aimed at small businesses are actually more appropriate for home use than those specifically meant as home models.
