Network | Brother

: Using wired or wireless networking, staff can benefit by sharing devices. You can enjoy taking advantage of the variety of useful functions when using the unit alone, or easily share them with your peers and partners who work remotely.

: While many people are very conscious about PC data security, they are often nonchalant about printing security. That is where the secure printing function of the Brother Colour Laser Series can help. Without entry of a pre-defined password on the unit's control panel, valuable documents are unable to be printed or taken out.

: Unauthorised use of copying, scanning and faxing functions can be prevented by means of passwords assigned to authorised users.

*Only MFC-9840CDW support this function.

: The IP Filter effectively assures data confidentiality and eliminates possible extra costs due to illegal printing by granting printing permission to specified PCs on the network or by rejecting printing requests from pre-specified PCs.

: Print data may be at risk of being illegally accessed while it travels from a PC to a printer. In order to protect important data from hacking, SSL encryption is enabled for print data.

: When using Scan-to-Email Saver, illegal email message transmission can be blocked through the authentication function based on the account name and password.

*Only MFC-9840CDW supports this function

Features supporting the SMTP authentication function

: Ideal for the office environment, each colour laser printer is equipped with the Lock Colour Usage feature giving corporate administrators the ability to restrict colour print usage by user. Users are required to enter a password to print colour documents. This feature enables business owners to maintain control against employee usage abuse. Thus reduces unnecessary colour printing by un-authorised users, allowing businesses to lower toner consumption and saves toner wastage.

Corporate Series Network administration software is available for corporate system administrators.

: With this function, not only can you monitor devices on the company’s LAN, but you can also monitor networked remote devices to check settings and statuses. It helps reduce labor costs and the workload of IT administrators while improving productivity.

*Only MFC-9840CDW support this function.

: With this Wizard, you can create an original driver that suits the operating environment, and develop a quick installer for one-click installation. The driver can be readily updated via email.

: You can easily maintain your printer via a Web browser without having to purchase any special application software. Printer status is displayed in a similar way to the toner level display.

: This feature keeps the Address Books’ up-to-date status by updating them across multiple devices via access to the corporate email address server.

*Only MFC-9840CDW supports this function

Sharing one printer with multiple PCs

: Our business is growing steadily and the number of our employees is increasing. In line with the increase, we have been increasing the number of PCs and peripherals. Since our printers did not have enough ports to connect all our PCs, we have to buy other printers each time we bought new PCs or the like. Now, our office space is cramped. The cost of buying printers can add up to a considerable amount.

: We replaced some of our old printers with Brother's network-ready printer. We can now share the printer among multiple staff members, making efficient use of our space. We no longer need to purchase other printers since the costs have been reduced.

Connecting printer wirelessly with PC

: Four of us share a house for SOHO purposes. There is one printer connected to PCs in each of the rooms using cables running over the floors and along walls. To be honest, they look messy and ugly. We sometimes trip over them. Our SOHOs could be taken over by the cables.

: A Brother wireless network-ready printer solves cable problems such as these. Its compact and stylish design makes it perfect for our swanky office space. The cable-free connection keeps our office space simple and neat. Because our staff members go to the printer to pick up their printouts, the opportunities for brainstorming are increased.
