Key Advantages

The Brother MFC-240C offers affordable multifunctional functionality suitable for small office environments. Its compact design saves valuable desk space, integrating print, scan, copy, and fax functionality into one device. The color printing capability enables versatile document production beyond black and white. High optical scan resolution enhances the quality of captured images and documents. Fax capabilities with memory storage provide convenience for managing communications. Additionally, easy installation and driver support for multiple operating systems improve user accessibility.

Limitations

The MFC-240C has limited connectivity options, using only USB 1.1 which can be slower and less compatible with newer platforms. Print speeds are modest, with black-and-white at approximately 16 ppm and color at around 7 ppm, which might be insufficient for high-volume needs. The input tray capacity is limited to 100 sheets, requiring frequent refills for busy offices. Ink consumption can be high relative to output, potentially increasing operational costs. The absence of network or wireless connectivity limits sharing in multi-user environments. Also, the fax modem speed of 14.4 kbps is slow compared to modern standards.
