Brother DCP-1512R MFP - perfect combination of high quality printing and cost

The Brother DCP-1512R is ideal for printing and scanning in a small office or small workgroup. At the same time, the quality of the press itself is subject to increased demands. Also, the multifunctional device under consideration can also realize the tasks of the copying machine. It will be described in the future.

Niche MFIs

As noted earlier, Brother DCP-1512R's MFPs are primarily aimed at the entry-level segment of the entry and multiplier market. That is, they are offices with a small number of computers and small working groups. As in the first, and in the second case, the number of jobs should not exceed 10-15 pieces. The solution in question can also be suitable for home use. It is possible that such a multifunctional device will partially realize the workflow in an average or even a large working group.

Similarly, this MFP can also be used in the copy center. As a result, we note that this universal product can be successfully applied almost everywhere, where there is a need for a multifunctional device for printing, copying and, of course, scanning.

Equipment

Excellent equipment with a direct competitor can boast a multifunction laser Brother DCP-1512R. In it the eminent company-developer has included the following:

• The most versatile device.
• Complete and detailed guide for connecting, configuring and using this MFP.
• Warranty card.
• A full set of cords for connection in an amount of 2 pieces. One of them is intended for connection to an alternating current network, and with its help power supply of the multifunctional device is realized. And the second cable is designed for data exchange with a personal computer.
• Another important component in the delivery list is the disk. It lists all possible driver modifications for this universal device.
• A cartridge that is 70 percent full of toner.

Such a package is sufficient and allows us to start using such a multifunctional device for its intended purpose.

Supported formats. Density

An impressive list of supported formats can boast of the multifunction device in question. The largest paper sizes in this case are 210 mm wide and 297 mm long. That is, it is the usual and most common for today's paper format - A4. Also in the list of supported paper sizes in this case there are A5, and A6, and B5, and even letter. The density of the printing paper in this case is limited to 60 and 107 g / m ² . The latter indicates that this multifunction device is only able to output on plain paper. But cardboard, whatman paper or newsprint on it is not recommended.

Technical specifications. Speed

The laser printing principle underlies the device in question. At the same time, the quality of the output documentation is much higher than in most similar solutions due to a higher resolution, which in this case is 600 X 1200 dpi. But this quality is achieved only in printer mode. In the same copier mode, this value is reduced to 600 X 600 dpi. When used in scanner mode, the resolution is set to 1200 X 1200 dpi. At the driver level, the last value by interpolation can be converted to 19 200 X 19 200 dpi.

700 pages is the starting resource of a complete cartridge in the Brother DCP-1512R MFP. Filling in the future allows you to increase this figure to 1,000 one-sided sheets. On the output of the first page this multifunctional device will spend 10 seconds. Then the printing speed in the printer and scanner modes becomes fixed and is 20 sheets per minute.

Interfaces

A typical and rather modest communication kit, which the Brother DCP-1512R MFP can boast of. It includes only one method of connection - USB. Something more developers in this situation have not provided. As a result, this universal device can not function autonomously, and for its full operation, the nearest PC should be turned on, which functions as a scanning and printing server.

Cartridge. The algorithm for filling it

The TN-1075 is the only cartridge model for the Brother DCP-1512R MFP. Cartridge, refueling and other important nuances and features in this case indicate that the toner supply system should be handled by advanced users. The order of refilling the cartridge is as follows:

1. Remove the cartridge from the printer.
2. We unscrew the screws on the side covers and dismantle them.
3. Remove the fixing sleeve from the drum.
4. We dismantle all the gears.
5. Carefully remove the side covers from the cartridge body.
6. We extract the drum.
7. Remove the fixing bolts and carefully remove the dosing blade.
8. Remove the toner from the container. We clean the remaining components of the cartridge from its residues.
9. We fall asleep the toner.
10. According to the previously stated scheme, we collect the cartridge.
11. Install the cartridge in the MFP.
12. We reset the counters in the settings of the multifunction device.

The cost of a multifunctional device. Reviews of owners about it

Brother's DCP-1512R is currently estimated at 8,000 rubles. The reviews emphasize full compliance with this cost and technical specifications. Minus this universal solution is just one - the communication set is represented by only one USB. Given the positioning of this MFP, this can be considered a disadvantage. But the cost, speed, impressive volume of print and increased quality of output documents easily compensate for the single minus of this multifunctional device. Also, owners of such a universal solution focus on an expanded list of supported system software. That is, any modern operating system without problems will interact with the hero of this review.

Summary

Brother DCP-1512R is quite interesting and very balanced. In it - all the most necessary for the organization of the printing subsystem. Moreover, the price in this case is quite democratic and affordable.
