Brother DCP-8155DN Toner Cartridges

Brother DCP-8155DN Printer Review

The Brother DCP-8155DN is the top model of a lineup that also includes the DCP-8110 and DCP-8150. As a monochrome multifunction laser printer, it includes most of the same features as these two machines, such as duplex printing and networking, but adds a larger document feeder that supports automatic duplex scanning, and upgraded memory of 128 MB. The unit can scan, copy, and print, and like the others, its Brother DCP-8155DN printer toner is quite affordable, keeping operating costs down.

Printing and copying can reach speeds of up to 40 pages per minute, though duplex printing is limited to 18 pages per minute. The automatic document feeder can hold up to 50 pages at a time, and the fact that it can handle duplex scanning means the device can also quickly make two-sided copies, without requiring users to re-feed a page manually. Flatbed scanning surface is also available, which can handle paper sizes up to legal.

Another advantage the DCP-8155 has over the smallest model in the series is that it can support increased paper capacity. The standard capacity includes a 50-sheet multipurpose tray and a 250-sheet main tray. By adding an optional 500-sheet tray, users can expand its capabilities when additional users are added to the shared network.

The toners are very simple to replace, and the price of Brother DCP-8155DN toner cartridges is fairly inexpensive. The standard Brother DCP-8155DN toner cartridge has a capacity of only 3,000 pages, but high-capacity Brother DCP-8155DN toner can reach up to 8,000 pages before needing replacement. This offers users a very low cost per page that will continue saving money for the life of the machine.

If the extra features of duplex scanning, faster speeds, and the ability to add paper capacity are appealing, buyers should certainly consider the Brother DCP-8155DN. If not, they could save some money by choosing the less expensive DCP-8110 model and get the majority of the same features and functions.
