Brother MFC-7440N

By (techradar.com)

The MFC-7440N is relatively noisy when operating, but it backs this commotion up with a decent turn of speed.

Speedy printing ; Well-specified

Noisy ; Steep price ; Feels cheap

That would make it better value than some rivals as you essentially get networking and fax for free, but the Brother feels rather crude and isn't especially nice to use

Brother MFC-7440N

By James Hutchinson (goodgearguide.com.au)

Brother's MFC-7440N is a step up from the entry-level MFC-7340 mono laser multifunction. It adds an Ethernet port and delivers slightly faster printin...

Ethernet port, good print quality, consistent print speeds

No duplex, poor image scan quality, relatively pricey

The Brother MFC-7440N is a capable mono laser multifunction that suffers from several flaws which may impact on its use in offices. It costs $100 more than the MFC-7340, but the addition of the Ethernet port is a boon for productivity.

Small footprint for a multifunction unit; accurate character recognition; fast text printing; low cost per page; decent quality black and white scans

Poor quality graphics prints; unattractive design; cramped paper output tray; slow scanning speed; less than average amount of internal memory

The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.

In the case of the $250 Brother MFC-7440N, the latter is true but the output quality is lacking. It does have all the trappings of a multifunctional printer including one-touch fax, optical character recognition scanning, customizable presets, and an...
