MFC-5200C
The Brother MFC-5200C is a multifunction printer designed for the home or small office user. Its compact size and versatility make it an excellent office machine, and its fast print speeds are impressive. Print speed is around 15 pages per minute for black and 12 pages per minute for color. The large capacities of Brother MFC-5200C ink cartridges make it very affordable to operate.
The black Brother MFC-5200C ink cartridge has a larger page yield than many inkjets, at around 950 pages, as do the three color cartridges, with page yields of 400 pages each. This gives the Brother MFC-5200C inkjet cartridges a much lower cost per page than printers with smaller capacities, and saves money for the user in the long run.
While the printer doesn't have any single feature that makes it stand out from the crowd, its sheer number of versatile features is what is truly impressive. The printer can print, scan, copy, and fax, and each function is very full-featured and useful. The 30-page automatic document feeder makes it easy to scan multiple pages quickly, and the PC Fax function makes sending a fax from the computer as easy as printing. Its fast faxing transmission speed of 33.6 kbps will help increase productivity in the office, and the machine can even slow down to accommodate slower machines.
In their review of the Brother MFC-5200C inkjet printer, Cnet liked its affordable price, and its numerous well-designed features. They didn't like its mediocre print quality, difficult setup routine, included software, or the fact that it doesn't include a USB or parallel cable in the box. The printer competes well with other models in its price range, with similar print quality, speed, and features.
Overall, the Brother MFC-5200C will fit well in a home or small office environment, with a versatile feature set that will help get things done. Mediocre print quality and poor software may be a problem for some users, however.
