Brother DCP-9040CN Multi-Function Device
Brother has long been known for its range of colour fax and multi-function machines, but it has recently expanded its catalogue of colour laser printers and multi-functions, too. The DCP-9040CN is a Digital Copier Printer, so the primary market is as a colour photocopier. However, it's geared up for both local and network printing, so could also be used as the basis of small office or workgroup printing. As multi-function machines move from generation to generation, they look less like printers with scanners stuck on top. Brother's industrial design makes some effort to blend the lines of the two components and pages which eject from the top of the printer section are easy to retrieve from the gap under the scanner. The scanner itself has a 50-sheet Auto Document Feeder (ADF) on top, but the flatbed glass can take pages up to A4, too. At the front is the control panel, which has a conventional design. There's a two-line by 16-character, backlit LCD display, a four-way button for menu control with extra buttons and indicators ranged around it, a keypad and three function keys, for colour and mono copying and to stop a running job.
