Brother Intellifax 3800 Printer Review:

The Brother Intellifax 3800 printer has all the essential functions of printing, scanning, faxing, and copying. Print speed is approximately 10 pages per minute with 600x600 dpi resolution, producing crisp and detailed documents. Paper handling is versatile, including the 20-page automatic document feeder and 200-sheet paper drawer. Media types accommodated by the Intellifax 3800 encompass letter, legal, executive sizes along with envelopes, transparencies, and laser label sheets.

Faxing is limited to 14.4 kbps, but this is probably fast enough for its target market. Paper capacity is 200 sheets, and the fax function has 2 MB of memory to save incoming faxes in the event that it runs out of paper. Scanning and copying is limited by the lack of a flatbed scanning surface, meaning that only media that can go through its feeder can be scanned. The 20-page automatic document feeder does an excellent job of quickly scanning many pages at once.

The single black Brother Intellifax 3800 toner cartridge has a capacity of 2,200 pages. Toners are easy to replace, and the affordable price of printer toner for this model makes it easy on the wallet. Using a compatible Brother TN250 toner or a DR250 drum does not void the printer warranty.

Overall, the low cost of Brother Intellifax 3800 toner and its excellent print quality are the pros of this printer model. Copying and scanning could be better, but it is a very well-rounded machine that should appeal to home and small office buyers.
