The Brother MFC-J985DW comes in a compact, simple, yet the well-thought-out design and has many elements that you won’t find in other printers. We wince slightly when we discover the paper receptacle which consists of a simple fold-out plastic guide that we would have liked to be more solid on a printer of this standard.
Inkjet Printer Function
The control panel is located below and condenses its functions on a touch screen of only 6.8 cm diagonal. Indeed, if the tactile layer is quite reactive, the viewing angles are very short. The control element with an integrated 5-inch touch display. This screen lacks two or three centimeters of diagonal. The paper cassette doubles as a tray for documents that have already been printed and is built in such a way that it can also hold many prints without the printer spitting the paper directly onto the floor, as is the case with many other printers.
However, the much more important functions of this option are the cable ducts for the printer cable and the LAN cable. We would have preferred a more traditional double-cassette system. Note that the second source of paper insertion is at the rear. That it allows sheets with a weight greater than 220 g/m², up to 300 g/m². Manual, requires proceeding page by page to avoid paper jams. In terms of connections, the MFC J985DW is complete and there is enough to manage the fax (two RJ11 sockets). Features such as scanning directly into Word or other Office applications are also quite useful in everyday life. If this makes them very accessible. The guiding system is impractical and results in the loss of several tens of centimeters of cable length.
