The suitability of Brother MFC-L2730DW for moderate work in micro-offices is primarily based on paper handling. For printing, it provides a 250-page tray, a single-page manual feeder, and a two-sided printer for double-sided printing. For scanning, it provides a letter-size platform and a 35-page automatic document feeder (ADF) that can handle up to standard-size paper. The Basic Features include printing and faxing from PC and scanning to PC. It can also be used as a separate copier and fax machine, and scan results can be sent as e-mail attachments without the need for a PC. Other features include support for mobile printing and scanning, as well as the ability to connect to selected cloud sites. Print, automatic double-sided printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, and print or copy up to 34 pages per minute! 2.7-inch touch screen for easy operation. By allowing you to scan on both sides, printers are a step back from cheaper printers. Even better, it scans both sides of the page at the same time. Brother MFC-L2730DW has a speed advantage over other equivalent MFPs with dual-sided ADF, which scans one side and then flips the page over to scan the other. As with most MFPs that can be scanned and printed on both sides, the front panel menu option allows you to copy both single-sided and double-sided originals to the selected single-sided or double-sided copy. The output quality is not the focus. Text, graphics, and photos are sufficient to meet most business needs, but text and photos are a small step between the standard price and graphics are at the lower end of the range that includes the vast majority of monochrome laser MFPs. Connect the Brother MFC-L2730DW printer to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and – assuming the network is connected to the Internet – you can print from the cloud, or you can connect to both and print or scan access points on the network from your tablet or smartphone. Instead, connect it to a single PC via a USB cable and you won’t be able to print through the cloud, but you can connect directly to the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct feature for printing and scanning. AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, and Brother iPrint are supported and can be printed directly on smartphones and tablets.
