Measured diagonally.

Measured when the machine is connected using the same network connection as the ENERGY STAR Ver. 3.1 test method.

Measured according to IEC 62301 Edition 2.0.

Power consumption varies slightly depending on the usage environment.

If fan motor is functioning: LpAm = 40 dB (A)

Measured in accordance with the method described in ISO 7779.

Data is based on Brother lab test results and may vary from actual print quality due to usage environment and settings. Best print resolution is 2,400 dpi (600 x 2400) quality (measured with print quality set to best mode).

The print speed may be slower when the machine is connected by wireless LAN.

These print speeds are for 1-sided printing and measured in accordance with the ISO/IEC 24734 standard.

Printing from Ready mode and standard tray.
