The Multi-Use Brother DCP 9045CDN Printer

by erin on March 22, 2010

The Brother DCP 9045CDN printer can be the most versatile tool in any office environment. This machine will print, scan, and copy at a rate of 21 pages a minute, making it one of the fastest in its class. Along with the machine, the Brother DCP 9045CDN toner that accompanies it can produce quality documents time and time again with perfect clarity.

Many offices settle for a black and white copier and struggle with this on a daily basis. There is a need for color printing in almost all office projects and this machine can handle any of these that come its way. By giving a business the option to print its own fliers or brochures, the marketing budget can be reduced and the money reallocated to other more important office needs, such as a new cappuccino machine for the employee lounge.

This machine can handle up to 250 sheets of standard or legal sized paper at one time, reducing the need for incessant refilling of the paper tray. This feature is expandable up to a whopping 800 sheets by adding the optional secondary feeder tray. This capacity is far and above many of the printers of this same size and can be extremely beneficial to a high volume office.

The scanner works in either black and white or color and can be fed one of two ways. There is the standard flatbed glass or it will accept documents through the automatic feeder tray. The feeder tray will allow the user to scan up to 50 documents in a single session without the need to place each individual page on the glass. This will save quite a lot of time when it comes to the larger scanning jobs that some offices may encounter.

The Brother DCP 9045CDN toner that comes with the unit can print or copy up to 2500 pages before needing to be changed. For those offices that put out a lot of documentation, the office manager may want to consider using the optional drum, which will print up to 17,000 pages in its lifetime. This also will aid in reducing the printer supply budget as a more economical option to the standard toner cartridge. The color cartridges, of which there are three, can handle 1500 pages each before they will need to be traded out for new ones.

The need when copying double-sided documents to manually flip them over to get each side is eliminated when using this printer. Using a process called “duplexing” this machine can copy both sides of the same document at the same time. This can either be printed out the same as the original, on a single sheet, or can be broken up to come out with each side on its own separate page.

This printer is network ready, right out of the box. It is fully loaded with all the software needed to work with either Mac or Windows based computer systems and, with a large capacity memory, can hold a wide range of jobs sent to it from different sources. These jobs will then be printed out in the order they were received.

The Brother DCP 9045CDN printer along with the Brother 9045CDN toner can make a great addition to any small to medium sized business environment. The Brother toner will keep the documents consistent while the machine helps to keep the office paperwork running smoothly. This printer and matching toner may easily be found either online or at a local office supply store.
