Key Advantages

The Brother MFC-8460N offers excellent multifunction capabilities in a compact footprint, saving space in office environments. Its reliable and fast printing speed of up to 24 ppm enhances productivity for document-heavy workflows. The integrated Ethernet network interface simplifies shared usage among multiple users. Automatic duplex printing reduces paper consumption and operational costs. The 35-sheet ADF supports efficient multi-page scanning and copying tasks. Compatibility with various operating systems and network protocols ensures versatile deployment in mixed IT environments.

Limitations

Being a monochrome laser device, the MFC-8460N does not support color printing, limiting its applications in color-dependent tasks. Its 32 MB memory may cause performance bottlenecks when handling large or complex print jobs. The default paper capacity of 250 sheets may require frequent refilling in high-volume environments. Scanning speed is modest compared to modern devices, which could slow down batch scanning tasks. The fax functionality, although useful, lacks some advanced features found in newer models. Additionally, the device lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, restricting mobility and flexibility in some setups.
