The Brother MFC-9130CW is a reliable multifunction LED-based printer that comes without an automatic duplex mechanism, which makes it a less efficient machine for those who need the functionality, but a money-saving option for anyone who doesn’t consider it necessary.

Printing, faxing, copying, or scanning double-sided pages using this printer is not completely impossible, however. It can still be done by feeding each paper manually into the printer, one side at a time.

Features and Highlights

The automatic document feeder (ADF) sitting on top of the scanner can hold as many as 35 sheets of paper of up to legal size. Any other media that is impossible or too risky to be loaded into the ADF can be scanned or copied by laying it on the scanner’s glass surface.

The ADF offers an optical scan resolution of up to 1200 x 600 dpi, and the flatbed’s is up to 1200 x 2400 dpi. The scan resolutions can be interpolated up to 19200 x 19200 dpi. Selecting a higher resolution will take longer for the documents to be scanned or copied, but the output quality should be well worth the wait.

The Brother MFC-9130CW offers a built-in 3.7-inch color touchscreen that provides a user-friendly interface, with a backlit numerical keypad that is only visible when it is required. It has only one physical button, which is positioned to the right of the numerical keypad and can perform two actions, one at a time.

Paper handling includes a removable paper tray for 250 sheets and a manual slot for one sheet. The printer can print black and white pages at a respectable pace of up to 18 pages per minute. Every page that has been printed out is dropped into a 100-sheet paper tray for collection.

Toner saving mode is available for printing at lower quality so that you can save a bit of your money. You can take advantage of this particular mode to print documents which are intended for internal consumption only. While the print quality is intentionally reduced, it won’t be so bad that no one will be able to read the printed documents.

Connectivity options include both wired and wireless methods. In addition to Wi-Fi, the second method is by using its Wi-Fi Direct functionality, which allows a mobile device to interact with the printer without any intermediary access point. After the two are connected to each other, you can use any of the supported mobile apps to start printing or scanning.

Although the lack of the automatic duplex feature allows the printer to sell for a lower price, you lose the chance to save on paper. Manual duplexing isn’t exactly the right solution to the problem as it comes at the expense of lower productivity, which is resulted as a consequence of feeding each side of paper manually.

The Brother MFC-9130CW has a production limit of thirty thousand pages a month. The suggested monthly print volume is between 300 to 1500 pages, which should be enough for low to moderate-volume offices. You can click the link below to download Brother MFC-9130CW Driver for Windows:
