Businesses looking for a hard-working color inkjet all-in-one shouldn’t have to make compromises. That’s why Brother is proud to offer the MFC-J6520DW, part of our Business Smart Pro Series. It provides the Ultimate Combination for business: a high-end, business-quality feature set, completely intuitive operation, and increased productivity. The MFC-J6520DW also provides low-cost printing, thanks to the availability of Super High Yield Replacement Ink Cartridges3 that print approximately 2,400 black pages and 1,200 color pages. You’ll get all of this, plus a 2-year limited warranty and FREE phone support for the life of your product.
Accept no compromise. The MFC-J6520DW delivers the Ultimate Combination of business features.
The MFC-J6520DW boasts fastest in class print speed1, so you’ll get your documents when you need them at up to 35 ppm color or 27 ppm black4. Plus you’ll enjoy the added convenience of duplex (2-sided) ledger printing, as well as 11” x 17” copy/scan/fax.
Save time by loading up to 35 sheets into the automatic document feeder.
The MFC-J6520DW prints, copies, scans and faxes ledger size documents with ease. Whether you’re using the machine’s 11” x 17” scan glass, printing from the 250 sheet paper tray, or copying, scanning or faxing from the up to 35 sheet automatic document feeder, you’ll appreciate just how simple it is to produce and share oversized documents.
11” x 17” scan glass handles ledger size documents with ease.
When you remove your MFC-J6520DW from the box, you’ll discover that connecting to a wireless network couldn’t be easier, thanks to the wireless assistant that completely walks you through set up. It’s so simple - you don’t need a USB cable, and you won’t even need to know your wireless network password. Share the machine with others on a network using 802.11 b/g/n or wired Ethernet networking, or connect to a single computer using a USB cable3 via Hi-Speed USB port. Using the machine is equally easy. The simplified control panel on the 2.7” TouchScreen Display makes it simple and intuitive to navigate menus, change settings, and create custom shortcuts for frequently used settings, and the accompanying TouchPanel only displays the keys you need.
2.7” TouchScreen Display makes navigating machine functionality a snap.
The MFC-J6520DW gives you a full menu of choices for connecting to Apple®, Android™, Kindle Fire™, Windows® Phone, or Blackberry mobile devices. It supports wireless printing from your mobile device via5: AirPrint™, Google Cloud Print™, Brother™ iPrint & Scan, Cortado Workplace and Wi-Fi Direct™, that allows you to print wirelessly from PC or mobile devices without the need for a router.
Multiple options to print from almost any smartphone or tablet.
The MFC-J6520DW comes with a suite of pre-installed, innovative Brother Cloud Apps2 that you access directly from the machine’s TouchScreen Display. You’ll be amazed by the functionality of these all-new exclusive document management and sharing apps. The Brother Cloud Apps suite is expandable, and Brother is developing new apps that will become available for download as they are finished. The initial line-up of apps includes:
You can also access popular web services directly from your internet-connected MFC-J6520DW from the TouchScreen Display using the Web Connect6 interface. Upload to or download from specific web services without using a computer. Access FACEBOOK™, PICASA™ Web Albums™, FLICKR®, EVERNOTE®, GOOGLE DRIVE™, BOX, SKYDRIVE® and DROPBOX.
Outline & Scan is just one of the innovative cloud apps installed on the MFC-J6520DW.
While developing the MFC-J6520DW, Brother sought to create a product that would help eliminate the need for compromising on features or design. This led us to introduce our innovative Landscape Print Technology, which stores and feeds paper into the machine in landscape orientation. This unique, space-saving technology allows Brother to deliver the Ultimate Combination of features for business in a machine with a sleek design in a smaller footprint.
Innovative Landscape Print Technology helps reduce the overall footprint of the MFC-J6520DW.
At Brother, our goal is to provide you with printers and all-in-ones that you can depend on to consistently deliver high performance, reliability, and value for your business.
