Every office needs a good printer that all the necessary features. The Brother MFC-7820N might be able to fulfill the need, but only for a small office requiring an all-in-one monochrome laser printer that can also fax.

Its strongest point is definitely not its design, but the machine is still easy to use. It is as wide as 17.01 inches and as tall as 11.57 inches with a weight of 20.93 pounds, which make it a fairly compact machine that can be placed on a desk.

Features and Highlights

The Brother MFC-7820N offers a paper capacity of 250 sheets and output capacity of 100 sheets. It also has a manual feed slot that lets users load one sheet. These capacities should be enough for medium use in small offices.

An automatic document feeder (ADF) can be found on the top, ready to feed up to 35 sheets into the printer, one at a time. Scanning, copying, and faxing can also be done by using the scanner glass, which can handle paper up to A4 size. Unlike the ADF that can feed each sheet into the machine automatically, the flatbed requires users to manually place each document on the glass surface. On the plus side, it is more versatile as it is designed to handle all manner of items, including ones that are prone to damages.

Below the scanner glass, and above the paper tray, there is a control panel sporting a backlit LCD, a dial pad, one-touch keys, navigation keys, mode keys, and a few more buttons to start making copies, stop an operation, and cancel a print job.

The mode keys (Fax, Copy, Scan) on the control panel are temporary modes. The mode will always go back to the Fax mode on its own after a certain period of time. It could be 30 seconds or 2 minutes after the last operation, which depends on users’s choice. The automatic switch can also be turned off so that the last used mode stays enabled until you switch to another mode manually.

For letter size papers, the AIO machine can pump out up to 20 pages per minute. Since the output tray is only for 100 sheets of paper, users will have to empty the tray after around five minutes of printing, so a printer with a high-capacity tray might be a better fit for users who often do large print jobs.
