Brother MFC-L2710DW Wireless

The Brother MFCL2710DW is an entry-level all-in-one printer (prints, copies, scans, and faxes). Designed for workgroups and small and/or home offices with modest printing needs. It is also suitable as an all-in-one monochrome laser for personal use. In fact, as an entry-level all-in-one printer. It has a relatively powerful feature set, and it’s fast. On the other hand, its running costs are a bit too high, and its print quality (especially when it comes to graphics and photos) leaves something to be desired. The Brother MFC-L2710DW is a wireless compact laser multifunction printer that offers printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities. It has a compact design that makes it suitable for use in small offices and homes.

Brother MFC-L2710DW Compact Design

Measuring 12.5 inches tall by 15.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep, and weighing just 25 pounds. The Brother MFC-L2710DW is somewhere in between in size and weight considering it’s an all-in-one entry-level computer. At 27.2 by 39.9 by 27.2 centimeters and 10.3 kilos. The Brother MFCL2710DW is smaller and lighter. But it lacks an automatic document feeder for scanning multi-page documents. Just like other entry-level all-in-ones. The Brother MFC-L2710DW handles paper using a single 250-sheet tray and a single slot for printing custom-sized envelopes, labels, and other media. The maximum monthly print duty cycle of this printer is up to 15,000 pages. Although Brother recommends printing as many as 2,000 pages.

The Brother MFCL2710DW not only comes with a handy Automatic Document Feeder, but it’s big enough to hold 50 originals for scanning and filing, or for copying documents, graphics, and photos. These and other common tasks are handled from the Brother MFC-L2710DW control panel. Which has an old-fashioned, button-laden look. The panel consists of a two-line monochrome LCD display and buttons for setting up and starting specific tasks, as well as a 10-key numeric keypad for entering fax numbers and more.

Brother MFC-L2710DW Wireless Connections and Software

Although the Brother MFC-L2710DW Wireless doesn’t support all types of connections. It does support most, including the basic options. Easy connection with Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, and connect to a single computer via USB. Mobile connections include Apple AirPrint.Can print from Google Cloud Print, Wi-Fi Direct, and the Brother iPrint&Scan App. The best option uses the iPrint&Scan app. Allows you to print from email messages and connect to specific cloud sites. In addition to printer and scanner drivers. The Brother MFC-L2710DW software includes Nuance PaperPort 14SE. A simplified version of the popular document and file management software PaperPort.

In addition to its document management features. PaperPort comes with a reasonably capable optical character recognition (OCR) system. It also includes a PDF file creation and editing utility that not only allows you to save scans and PDFs but also uses some of the most useful Microsoft Office and other formats. As with other Brother monochrome laser devices. This one does not have many security features. In addition to some encryption protocols. It offers the Setting Lock function. This allows you to block the availability of specific settings so that they cannot be modified at the user level.

Respectable print speeds

According to the manufacturer. The Brother MFC-L2710DW prints at 36 pages per minute (ppm). When printing the 12-page Microsoft Word document we used for testing. The Brother MFCL2710DW hit 34.7 ppm. Nearly a page and a half lower than advertised. When I combined the results from printing the 12-page document with those obtained from printing various color graphics and Acrobat, Excel, and PowerPoint files loaded with photos. This Brother MFCL2710DW’s print speed dropped to as low as 14 ppm.

In our photo tests, we printed two highly detailed, vividly colored 4-by-6-inch snapshots multiple times, then averaged the results. The Brother MFCL2710DW managed an average of 11 seconds per photo, which is fine for this type of laser printer. In fact, most laser printers (whether monochrome or color) print photos in well under 30 seconds, and many in half the time or less. However, this is only relevant when the printed photos are usable.

Suitable quality for internal documents and brochures

The Brother MFC-L2710DW print quality is average for a low-end monochrome laser all-in-one. Common fonts are well-shaped and print sharply. Even at very small sizes, text output is more than acceptable for most applications. Business graphics (such as charts and clip art) are also printed fine. Only in some cases (as graphics became more complicated) did I start to see flaws. Including banding (vertical misalignment) in gradients and dark fills. In addition to alignment problems in shades of gray.

However, simple charts (such as lines and light fills) are printed well. So the quality is adequate for simple reports and other applications where fast data is more important than fancy data. In other words, the graphics were clear enough for passing internal documents between co-workers and perhaps for some types of brochures. But not for producing collateral. Among the various test photos, I printed. I saw some that looked pretty good. With good color to grayscale conversions. However, others came out too dark. With a blend of grays given less than before to maintain the detail of the overall monochrome printer design.
