The Brother MFC-240C is a multifunction that comes at a really great price. And you really do get a lot of value for what you pay for.

The MFC-240C is a 6-in-1 device that includes: a colour printer, flatbed colour copier, fax and PC fax, colour scanner and a number of media slots. As with all these types of devices
you’ll probably use the printing and scanning features the most, so it’s these two features that are the deal maker or breaker, when it comes to the buying decision.

The MFC-240C has an inkjet based printer and will print up to 25 ppm black and white and 20 ppm in colour. These performance figures should be more than adequate for the average small business or home user. If you’re inclined to print a lot of graphics then you’ll like the fact that the MFC-240C also features borderless printing.

Scanning is great with the MFC-240C and it’s unlikely that you will ever need to scan above its maximum scanning resolution of 600 x 2400 dpi.

We also very much like the fact that the MFC-240C comes with all ink cartridges fully filled, not just quarter filled, like so many other new printers come with. Get it from Computer Corporation on 08616-08616 for R1099 (incl VAT).

PROS
It features borderless printing and decent B&W printing speeds of 25 ppm.
CONS
Draft quality prints are quick but the quality really takes a knock.
