Brother Monochrome Laser Printers Announced

Petaling Jaya, July 12 2016 – Brother International Malaysia today introduced 5 monochrome laser models for Malaysian businesses, with the aim to optimize the business productivity and enhanced security.

The new mono laser series delivers high reliability, value and productivity for businesses. Designed and produced in Japan, the five models comprise two mono laser printers and three Multi-Function Centres serving high print volume office environments.

“The new mono laser series continues to deliver durable, realiable and flexible solutions for business users looking for productivity and cost effectiveness, serving a full range of office, workgroup, and larger volume print environments.” says Mr. Itsuo Segawa, Country Head at Brother International Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

“Knowing the business user is focused on results and convenience, we created these monochrome printers and Multi-Function Centres to dependably and consistently perform with the features and functionality needed to improve and enhance workflow.” Mr. Segawa adds.

 

Better total cost of ownership (TCO)

Brother’s latest mono laser family is built for high efficiency and cost effectiveness. The laser printers and Multi-Function Centres support monthly print cycles of up to 150,000 pages per month, while an ultra high-yield toner enables up to 20,000 printed pages with cost savings in mind. Compared to the previous Brother mono laser range, the new family has raised maximum paper output capacity by 600%, and expanded toner yield by 66% for vastly improved TCO.

 

Superior productivity and ease of use

Productivity is a key feature of the new series. High volume print jobs are easily managed without the need for frequent paper reloads. The default paper tray can hold up to 520 sheets, and optional upgrades of either two additional paper trays or a tower tray provide businesses with a total additional input capacity of as many as 2,080 sheets. A 4-bin Mailbox with stacker and sorter makes even easier to share a printer as bins can be assigned to individual users or groups.

 

Simplify business operations

The new models are easily managed over the network with Brother’s BRAdmin Professional Software. This software includes a suite of security solutions to ensure that documents remain confidential. It is also a network management tool that supports remote configurations and the monitoring of useful information such as page count, toner and drum status. Print costs can be controlled better with the option of setting print quotas for users, while instant notification of printer downtime lets customers attend to the problem quickly.

 

Customised workflow solutions

As each business is unique and may operate under unpredictable conditions, Brother has developed flexible workflow solutions that can be customised if required. Brother Special Solutions Customisation (SSC) enables Brother to collaborate with a business on modifying Brother products for specific business needs. The Brother Solutions Interface (BSI), a web-based service platform aims to improve customers’ productivity and efficiency by allowing software developers to create custom solutions easily.

Mr. Segawa adds, “Brother has long focused on business needs. Now, our fleet of business centric printers has been expanded to include features and functionality ideal for workgroups.”

 

Mobile convenience

Brother also supports the convenient integration of mobile devices into the workflow. Brother iPrint&Scan, Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print enable users to print directly from their mobile devices. JPEG and PDF documents can be printed, while faxes and copies can be previewed. Apple products can also save documents to iCloud.

Buyers Laboratory International (BLI), a widely-respected testing and resource company, has evaluated several of the new Brother models. BLI noted the significant business value of the new machines: “The Brother models offer competitive to lower than average cost of ownership,” states Marlene Orr, BLI’s Director, Office Equipment Product Analysis.

BLI recognised the machines’ reliability, particularly in high-volume printing. “Even during peak periods, users won’t see any noticeable slowdowns in output speeds,” says Orr. She also notes the ease of use: “The smartphone-like interface on the Touchscreen models reduces the learning curve, and NFC connectivity eliminates guesswork for mobile printing, offers badge authentication, and a quick link to troubleshooting information.” In addition, BLI pointed to robust scan features that boost worker productivity, and simple affordable sharing of content and collaboration in the cloud with Brother WebConnect+.
