Key Advantages

The MFC-J485DW stands out with its combination of compact size and multifunctionality, making it ideal for small office environments. Its wireless connectivity allows for convenient printing from multiple devices including smartphones and tablets. The automatic duplex printing feature helps save on paper costs and is environmentally friendly. The printer supports a variety of media sizes and types, enhancing versatility in printing tasks. Brother's INKvestment Tank technology ensures longer-lasting ink cartridges and reduces the frequency of replacements. Additionally, the inclusion of a 20-sheet automatic document feeder streamlines bulk scanning and faxing processes.

Limitations

Despite its many features, the MFC-J485DW has some limitations, including relatively slower print speeds compared to laser printers, which might affect high-volume office environments. The manual feed tray has limited capacity, requiring frequent paper refills during heavy use. The printer's LCD display is small and lacks touch capability, limiting ease of navigation through menus. Compatibility with some third-party ink cartridges may be limited due to proprietary technology. Its fax functionality, while beneficial, is less commonly used in modern digital office setups. Additionally, the scanner's flatbed design may reduce speed compared to sheet-fed scanners for large documents.
