MFC-8840D and MFC-8840DN
Duplex function

The MFC-8840D and the MFC-8840DN come with duplex
feature as standard. This facility is built-in, so there is nothing to
add to the machine. It is ready to duplex straight out of the box.

Automatic duplex printing

Whether your intentions are to produce professional
documents or reduce paper usage, the MFC-8840D and
MFC-8840DN enable you to automatically print to both sides
of the paper. Simply select the option in the printer driver and
the machine will do the rest.

Semi-automatic duplex copying

By placing multiple single sided originals into the auto
document feeder, the MFC-8840D and MFC-8840DN can
automatically copy to both sides of the output paper.

Automatic duplex fax receive

This useful feature is standard on the MFC-8840D and
MFC-8840DN. When activated, any multiple page fax
messages received can be printed onto both sides of the
paper, cutting your paper usage and costs at the same time
as keeping your fax messages in order.

Multi-purpose tray

The MFC-8840D and MFC-8840DN come with a built-in
multi-purpose tray as standard. It accommodates various
paper types including labels, transparencies and envelopes.
Up to 50 sheets can be placed in the multi-purpose tray at
one time. This is ideal when you want to print on alternative
stock.

Laser Copying

The performance as a desktop copier is
consistently impressive.
The flatbed design comfortably
accommodates A4 and legal sized
originals, whilst the automatic document
feeder is capable of handling up to 50
A4 sheets.
It has a paper capacity of up to 250 sheets
as standard and this can be expanded to
up to 500 sheets with the optional cassette
tray (LT-5000).
Up to 99 copies can be generated at one
time and stack and sort functions ensure
that your copies are presented exactly how
you’d like them. In addition to this, 2 in 1
and 4 in 1 scale options enable you to
maximise your paper efficiency.

Colour Scanner

An increasingly popular function.
Scans can be generated through the flatbed
or the auto document feeder. The ‘Scan’ key
offers flexibility by enabling you to scan directly
to OCR, E-mail, Image or File.
The resolution is high at up to 9600x9600 dpi
(Interpolated). Besides these four main functions,

this all-in-one machine also offers: Simultaneous

operation, which means that, for example, you
can start scanning while a print-out is being
generated or print a document whilst sending a
fax. A large, five line back-lit display helps make
operation simple – as do the clear instructions it
shows. Back-lit keys for Fax, Copy and Scan
enable instant access to each function.

Laser Printing

The laser printing performance is outstanding.
It’s fast: up to 20 pages per minute and the
quality is pin sharp with a printing resolution
of up to 2400x600 dpi.
There’s a generous 32MB of memory as
standard, with the option to expand up
to 160MB.
It features both PCL

®

6 and BR-Script 3
(PostScript 3 language) emulations.
The choice of parallel, USB 2.0 and optional
Network means that connectivity isn’t a
problem.
Secure print for Windows

®

users ensures

confidential documents remain that way.

Laser Faxing

An essential communications tool, this
machine offers an impressive laser
fax performance which includes faxing
bound documents using the flatbed scanner.
A modem speed of 33.6kbps means
that faxes can be sent in as little as
2 seconds per page.
It has a combined ‘out of paper’ and ‘fax
transmission’ memory facility that allows up
to 500 pages to be stored.

†

40 one-touch numbers can be dialled
quickly and easily, as can a further
300 speed dial numbers.
Memory security ensures that private and
confidential means just that.
