The Brother MFC-3240C is a multifunction device designed for the home or small office user. Its compact size and excellent feature set make it a great choice for a tight office space. Print speeds are fast, at around 20 pages per minute for black and 15 pages per minute for color. Networking is included, and PC faxing is available.

The large capacity of Brother MFC-3240C inkjet cartridges contributes to its low cost per page. The black Brother MFC-3240C ink cartridge has a capacity of 900 pages, while each color cartridge has a capacity of 400 pages. The unit measures 14.8 inches by 19 inches by 10.7 inches, and weighs 15.6 pounds. While it is not the smallest machine in its class, it should have no trouble fitting into a small office space.

The Brother MFC-3240C can print, scan, copy, and fax. It also has the capability of PC Faxing, which lets users send a fax directly from the computer, as easily as sending a document to be printed. This is a very convenient feature that even works across a network. The unit can be easily connected to an office network with its built-in ethernet port, but it won't support a large number of users, at is not designed for more than a small office.

Some user reviews of the Brother MFC-3240C inkjet praise its very affordable price, low ink costs, and many well-designed features. Some users criticize it for its high ink usage, problems with paper jams, and poor build quality. For the price, the unit compares well with its competition, and generally offers faster printing and faxing speeds than other models at the price.

Overall, home and small office users who need a compact machine with a lot of functionality should like the Brother MFC-3240C. Networking is a nice bonus, and the PC Faxing feature is a very convenient addition.
