Key Advantages

The MFC-8480DN offers fast print speeds up to 33 pages per minute, making it efficient for busy office environments. Its automatic duplexer reduces paper use and enhances workflow for double-sided documents. The device supports various media sizes and types, including envelopes and labels, adding versatility. The built-in network capability allows multiple users to print and scan over a local area network. Integration of multiple functions reduces desktop clutter by eliminating the need for separate machines. Brother’s reputation for reliability ensures consistent performance and durability under heavy use.

Limitations

The MFC-8480DN does not support wireless connectivity, limiting flexible placement options compared to newer models. Its monochrome laser technology restricts output to black and white printing only, without color capability. The device's memory is relatively limited, which might affect large batch scanning or faxing tasks. It does not include LCD touchscreen controls, relying on physical buttons and a smaller display for operation. Replacement toners may be costly relative to some competitors. Additionally, the device lacks support for mobile printing technologies such as AirPrint or Google Cloud Print.
