Brother DCP-770CW A4 Inkjet Printer Color multifunctional performs three tasks: printing, scanning, and photocopying. In addition, thanks to its Ethernet port and its integrated Wi-Fi controller, it would be possible, quite simply, to install it within a corporate or home network. Here is the verdict that we can give according to the tests we have carried out. The DCP-770CW shouldn’t have too much trouble finding its place in an office, with its all-purpose look. We would even have liked a little fantasy for this product dedicated to the general public. The fat’s black buttons look a bit “industrial”. On the other hand, we appreciate the pivoting color screen that allows you to keep an eye on the different information.
The Brother DCP-770CW is one of the Brother printers manufactured by Brother Industries. Its speed in handling certain printing activities is hardly in doubt. The Brother provides the most outstanding printer that helps you finish your work at ease. The Brother company still provides superior print specs but at a lower price just like the Brother DCP-770CW. Brother DCP-770CW is an A4 color inkjet printer that can print, scan, and copy.
Brother DCP-770CW Allows Printing Management
The DCP-770CW is clearly a network printing solution. in addition to its USB port, it has a network port and a connection Wi-Fi. On the installation side, the manufacturer’s promises are kept: the printer is simple to set up. After installing the different software allowing the management of printing on the network. The most experienced will only take a few minutes to print a document remotely. Novices should take the time to read all the indications but, in the end, the result should be the same.
During our tests, we carried out two types of installation the so-called “Infrastructure” and “Ad Hoc”. The first is without the most common and simplest doubt. HDCP compliant, after printer setup (search for a network, entry of the Wi-Fi key, etc.). This acquires automatically a physical address (IP) within your network home (modem/router or ISP box). Once that’s done, he just follows the network installation procedure which takes care of detecting the printer and installing it on your PC. This installation must be done on each of the network devices supposed to access the printer and scanner.
The Other Mode Of Installation
This is to use this printer “peer to peer”. He is in the possible effect of sharing this printer with all your Wi-Fi PCs provided of course. That the drivers for the DCP-770CW are installed. Again, everything is provided in the software. As well as in the functions printer to help you set it all up. On the other hand, he strongly advised not to use a disturbed. Wi-Fi network or to be at the limit of signal range. Indeed, we found the slightest micro-cut. Was enough to crash the printer. It was not possible to resume printing Classes. Too bad, because if it was an A4 print. You would have wasted a nice photo paper and lots of ink.
Another positive point. The paper feeder enters completely into the housing of the device. Convenient or not, just pull the tray to feed it. Good point, the latter has the advantage of being sheltered dust. On this tray, there is a location for placing the sheets of 10×15 cm photo paper. No need to juggle different paper sizes.
Printing Speed and Copier Functions
When printing color on standard A4 paper for the first time. Is rather tempted to say that the DCP-770CW is doing well. The quality is correct and one could almost forgive the “slowness” of the device. Thus, an A4 color print takes 4 minutes and 30 seconds. Nevertheless, this multifunction is a bit limited for real Photos. When asked to edit a photo on a full A4 page (without borders), we are a little disappointed. Not only does he need almost 16 minutes to complete the task but. In addition, the colors are not (quite) accurate.
On the side of the scanner, nothing to complain about. If we use its highest definition, it is quite possible to obtain beautiful scans. ScanSoft’s PaperPort software suite even offers a character recognition function. However, as a photocopier. You shouldn’t ask too much about this multifunction. To photocopy monochrome texts, no problem. The DCP-770CW duplicates a document in less than 30 seconds. For color photocopies. Allow 40 seconds for an A4 print in normal quality and 1 min 40 sec in optimal quality. But again, the maximum quality is not enough to have a good print. A solid color, in this case, blue, comes out completely stripped. In short, it is only a small auxiliary photocopier capable. Moreover, of making enlargements or reductions of documents.
