1091 Brother International Corporation has introduced its new MFC-7000 Multi-function Center Series, reinforcing its position as a market leader serving the small office/home office (SOHO) category. These new models are ideally suited for small businesses and active home-based offices that need an affordable, feature rich monochrome laser all-in-one printer. The wireless-ready MFC-7840W ($299 estimated street price*) and Ethernet-ready MFC-7440N ($249 estimated street price*) deliver a wide array of critical office productivity functions demanded by busy professionals. Both models will be available in early April 2008.

Robust Design and Wireless Ready
In addition to its sleek design and advanced functionality, the new MFC-7840W also offers a built-in wireless interface as standard.

"We are very excited to bring to market the MFC-7840W, which features built-in wireless connectivity at an unbeatable $299 street price," said Jeff Sandler, Brother Director of Marketing for Laser MFC/DCP products. "With the continuing growth of wireless networks in small offices and homes, users can place this all-in-one wherever it's most convenient, and share its powerful capabilities with everyone on their network."

Compact, Affordable, and Feature Rich
Both new MFC-7000 Series models deliver fast print and copy speeds of up to 23 pages per minute and offer a maximum print resolution of up to 2400 x 600 dpi. Each product also includes a built-in Ethernet network interface, 35-page capacity automatic document feeder, and 250-sheet capacity paper tray and single-sheet by-pass slot.

"With their elegant new design, and choice of either Wireless or Ethernet connectivity, these new all-in-ones reaffirm our continuing commitment to delivering outstanding value for both wireless and wired users," said Sandler. "We're very proud of this new product series, and we invite shoppers to compare them with equivalently priced models from other manufacturers."

Low Cost Per Page Printing
Utilizing the same supplies as the recently introduced HL-2100 Series monochrome laser printers, the new models support either "standard-yield" or "high-yield" replacement toner cartridges - whichever best fits their budget or type of use. Brother offers a standard yield replacement toner cartridge with a yield of 1,500 pages2 (TN-330 @ SRP $49.99) or a high-yield cartridge with a yield of 2,600 pages2 (TN-360 @ SRP $64.99). Each model arrives with a 1,000 page toner cartridge and a drum unit (DR-360 with a yield of 12,000 pages3) in the carton.
