Key Advantages

The MFC-J485DW excels in providing versatile functionality by combining printing, scanning, copying, and faxing in one unit. Wireless connectivity options allow flexible placement and easy printing from smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Individual ink cartridges let users replace only the colors that run out, thereby reducing ink costs. The automatic duplex printing feature helps save paper and enhances productivity. This printer supports a variety of media types and sizes, making it adaptable for different office tasks. It also offers a user-friendly 1.8-inch color display for straightforward operation and settings management.

Limitations

While the printer delivers good print quality, its print speed is moderate compared to laser printers, which might not suit very high-volume environments. The paper input capacity is limited to 100 sheets, which may require frequent refilling in busy offices. The 20-sheet ADF has a limited capacity for larger scanning or copying jobs. It uses inkjet technology, so ink cartridges may be more expensive over time than toner. The device does not support advanced network security protocols required in large corporate environments. Moreover, the scanner is a flatbed type with CIS sensor technology, which may have slower scanning speeds compared to dedicated sheet-fed scanners.
