Brother MFC-L8970CDW Specifications

The Brother MFC-L8970CDW is a colour laser all-in-one for printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Its electrophotographic laser engine works with 1 GB memory inside the controller. A 7.0-inch TFT colour touchscreen handles shortcuts and scan preview from the front panel. Originals can sit on the legal-size flatbed or feed through the 80-sheet automatic document feeder. The supply system uses four toner cartridges and a separate drum unit.

Print quality reaches 2400 x 600 dpi class output. Black and colour pages run at up to 33 ppm. From ready mode and the standard tray, the first page comes out in less than 9.9 seconds. Automatic duplex printing turns sheets for two-sided jobs. Duplex speed reaches up to 21 sides per minute on Letter or 20 sides per minute on A4. Copying also runs at up to 33 cpm in black and colour.

The flatbed scans at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. Through the ADF, scan resolution reaches 600 x 600 dpi. Interpolated scanning goes up to 19200 x 19200 dpi on supported Windows paths. From loaded originals, the ADF can run automatic two-sided scanning, copying, and fax sending. Duplex scan speed reaches up to 104 ipm in black and 72 ipm in colour. Faxing uses a 33.6 Kbps modem with 500-page memory.

Paper starts in a 250-sheet standard tray. A 50-sheet multipurpose tray feeds envelopes, labels, glossy paper, and heavier media. Finished pages land in a 150-sheet face-down output tray. Optional lower trays can raise total paper capacity to 1,340 sheets. A direct computer connection uses Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Network and device access can run through Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band wireless, Wi-Fi Direct, NFC, or the front and rear USB host ports. The body measures 17.9 x 19.9 x 18.1 inches and weighs 58.8 pounds.
