Brother MFC-6800 Printer Review:
The Brother MFC-6800 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 MFC-6800
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 MFC-6800 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 MFC-6800 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.
