Business technology solutions provider Brother UK has launched a compact range of mono laser printers for businesses, helping resellers to support customers with downsized offices and decentralised workforces.
The professional desktop range of mono laser printers includes the HL-L2865DW, MFC-L2960DW and MFC-L2980DW. The three new devices are designed to offer businesses the quality and performance of a large enterprise model, in a compact unit.
The HL-L2865DW weighs 7.1kg, and the MFC-L2960DW and MFC-L2980DW both weigh 12.4kg, with every component optimised to reduce overall machine size, helping businesses make the most of their office space without compromising on performance.
All three devices come equipped with the latest industry-standard security features, including firmware encryption and BLI security validation. They are compliant with the latest legislation on privacy and data security laid out by the new PSTI regulations, the MFC models also have AD and LDAP user authentication, with the flagship MFC-L2980DW including a built-in NFC reader to ensure only authorised individuals can print sensitive documents.
The MFC-L2960DW and MFC-L2980DW are compatible with Brother Cloud Solutions, which includes products such as Tungsten Automation’s ControlSuite and cloud based Printix, to enable document workflow authentication, access controls and activity management.
Channel partners can also offer customers cost-savings, with the new devices available under a managed print service (MPS) agreement. Brother offers three MPS packages – MPS Essential, MPS Professional and MPS Enterprise – that are designed for the needs of different businesses, from small organisations with low print requirements through to complex multi-site corporations.
Other features include fast print speeds of 34ppm, 5GHz WiFi, Ethernet and USB connectivity and a 250-sheet paper tray. The MFC devices also have 50-sheet ADF with two-sided scanning of up to 22.5ipm, 8.8cm colour touchscreen, and feature a Planar Heating Element, reducing energy consumption and resulting in a first page out time which is half that of the predecessor models.
Terry Caulfield, chief commercial officer at Brother UK, said: “Businesses are looking to make better use of their office spaces, introducing break out areas and changing layouts to support hybrid working, and they’re reassessing their tech at the same time. Resellers will play a key role in supporting this while continuing to offer high-quality, professional devices, which is where our new mono laser line comes in. They offer all the benefits of our market-leading SOHO devices – quiet, compact and cost-effective – with the unrivalled quality, speed and connectivity of a high-performance business model.
“Minimal maintenance and a robust and durable design enables businesses to be confident the new range meets the demands of a busy workplace. We’re also seeing firms refreshing how they procure and manage technology, with an increasing demand for subscription and contractual printing. Having the new range available with MPS options, will help partners to maximise their customers’ productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.”
