You can scan a large multi-page, single-sided document and then print them on half the paper (odd pages on front, even pages on back), and save paper costs on all other functions by using up both sides of every sheet -- without the hassle of having to flip the paper yourself.



Print, fax, scan, and copy -- all from one powerful unit. View larger.

With the MFC-8870DW's duplex functionality, you can take a typical document file and simply choose to print it as a duplexed document right from the MFC-8870DW's print menu, with the orientation you prefer. Your selection then happens automatically, without the need to reload the paper to print the other side.

Or, you can copy or scan two single-sided documents and produce a copy or store a scan as a single two-sided page. You can even scan a two-sided document for faxing with only one step and it will be received as two single-sided pages.

With the ability to function as a digital copier, the unit supports reduction and enlargement of documents from 25 to 400 percent in one percent increments, makes up to 99 copies and includes sorting functionality. Copies up to legal size can be made from both the glass and the automatic document feeder.

When operating as a scanner, the unit is capable of color scanning up to 9,600 dpi interpolated resolution (up to 600 x 2,400 dpi optical). For Windows and OS X 10.2.4 or greater based users, there is an easy-to-use "scan to" button for scanning directly to an FTP site, image application, OCR, E-mail application or file. Save time and reduce errors with instant direct access through your network connected MFC-8870DW to a virtually infinite number of e-mail and fax addresses stored in your LDAP network address books.

2 out of 5 stars mfc-8870 DW Toner issues.......2007-06-24

We got this machine it performed flawlessly. both pc & macs are printing via usb & wireless, quality is tops. After, the 2nd cartridge, we have NOT been able to install a new cartridge properly. We have bought 3 different cartridges none fit in properly. We got a new machine and still the same problem. when we manage to get the cartridge in properly the paper jams all the time. Darn, it was too beautiful to last.... we are using brother stock all the way and it still doesn't work. The techs at Fry's don't seem to be able to correct this either. so it is in the repair shop for 5 weeks and we have a brand new one that has the same symptoms...Man it was too good to be true. If we don't resolve this we are going to HP. We've had several Brother machine and they did work well.

5 out of 5 stars Great choice.......2007-06-13

This machine works very well. It warms up fast from sleep mode. The printing looks great. The scanning and copying are excellent. The only problem I've had is that once in awhile the copies print a little off center. I haven't had time to figure out if it's my fault or the machine. Overall it's a great performer.

1 out of 5 stars What you should know before you buy a Brother.......2007-05-15

I have owned the MFC-9420CN, but you might want to read this before purchasing any Brother printer. I have had this machine for about a year it cost over $1,000 and is suppose to be for business. This machine is in my home and I do use it more than probably most homes, but not nearly the amount a buisiness would use. After I print about 100-200 copies the machine overheats and needs to take a very long break, sometimes overnight. Make sure you read the entire manual. You need to know how heavy of paper you can use. It won't even take standard coverstock 67lbs. It will only take up to 55 lbs. This machine jams all the time, both at the paperfeeder on top as well as the papertray on the bottom. I have made many calls to Brother. I do get to speak to a live person; however, they are not all trained very well. One problem took them a week to fix, many many phone calls and a guy coming to my home twice. I will give them credit for taking care of the problem and not charging me anything. My most recent problem was with a toner cartridge of theirs. Read the fine print, they only guarantee their cartridge for 90 days with a receipt. So, now I'm out $100, yes, that is how much their cartidges costs. Think twice before purchasing any printer, read the fine print and do a lot of research.

2 out of 5 stars Wish I could just get one that doesn't have any problems!.......2007-04-20

I ordered one of these two months ago and it worked GREAT for the first two months, then it started having a weird clicking noise every time it would pull from the paper tray and then paper soon started jamming. We returned it to Costco and ordered a new one. We just received the new one and I went to set it up and received an instant error that said "Machine Error. Call Brother." I called them and they told me the error I was receiving was because it was broken and I would have to use the warranty to get it fixed. Thank goodness we purchased it from Costco, because we will be returning it tomorrow. So... why the 2 stars instead of 1... well... it was a great printer while it was working. It was fast and with the wireless option, it would work with all the computers in our house. It scanned and faxed well. I just wish we could actually get one that works. Chances are... we will probably try one more time to purchase it because there is not another wireless all-in-one that I could find on the market for a reasonable price. Wish us luck on our third one!

4 out of 5 stars Good tiny but reliable machine.......2007-04-10

We actually purchased two(2) of these!! We really love it and planning to buy one more machine in our office. This machine is very fast printing and does everything! Toner is also very reasonable comparing with other brand. I gave 4 stars because the paper tray is little small; so we often add the paper; but we like them a lot!
