The Brother MFC-L8970CDW colour multifunction laser printer prints, copies, scans and faxes A4 documents in an office environment. The device handles both black and white and colour printing at a resolution of 2400×600dpi. Its 1GB of internal memory is complemented by a 1200MHz processor.

The integrated duplex system performs automatic double-sided printing and scanning. The device uses four separate colour cartridges, so you only need to replace the colour that has run out.
