The Brother MFC-845cw Wireless Printer
Brother International Corporation has launched a new printer which is a part of their Multi-Function Center line. The new MFC-845cw promises to be the ultimate wireless solution as it has built-in Ethernet, wireless 802.11b/g connectivity and 5.8GHz digital cordless handset technology, under its hood. The MFC-845cw is capable of color printing, color copying, color scanning, color faxing, PC Fax send and PhotoCapture Center technology (media card slots and Pict-Bridge interface).
Thanks to the onboard wireless capabilities one can hook the printer to a wireless router and share printing, scanning, faxing and media card access with everyone who is connected to the network. One great addition by Brother is the integration of a 5.8GHz digital cordless handset which gives users total flexibility and one doesn’t need to be chained to their printers for making calls!
The MFC-845cw has a print speed of up to 27ppm black and 22ppm color and it can print resolutions of up to 6000 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi). The photo tray can hold 100 sheets of letter or legal paper and 20 sheets of 4" x 6" photo paper. The printer also sports a 2.5" flip-up color LCD display and it also includes an Answering Machine and a Speakerphone. The printer will be available from October and would retail for around $249.99.
