Brother FAX-8200P Printer Review:
The Brother FAX-8200P is a multifunction
laser printer that can also copy and fax. It is designed for home and small
office environment, but can still handle a fairly large volume of printing when
needed. Brother FAX-8200P toner costs are low, making it easy on the wallet.
The machine measures 18 inches by
13.2 inches by 9.9 inches and weighs 18.7 pounds. Although it isn't necessarily
bulky, it takes up a larger footprint than most laser printers, such as the
LaserJet 2300 toner printer. Printing resolution is 600 dpi for sharp print quality
and the fax speeds are limited to 14.4 kbps. Copying and faxing are a bit
limited by the lack of a flatbed scanning surface, so users can only scan and
fax pages that will go through its sheet-fed scanner. The amount of
functionality packed into a single, affordable machine tends to balance out its
few shortcomings, however.
Brother FAX-8200P toner
cartridges have page yield of 2,200 pages at 5% coverage. Compared to dedicated
printers and fax machines in Brother's line, the FAX-8200P offers the best of
both in a single machine, at only a slightly higher price. In fact, buyers
looking for a dedicated fax may want to spend a bit more for this model, even
if they don't have a need for the printing capabilities at the moment.
Overall, the Brother FAX-8200P is
an affordable solution for a small office's printing and faxing needs and has
the bonus of being a capable copy machine. The low price and relatively high
capacity of Brother FAX-8200P toner makes it an even better value.
