Sydney, Australia – 12 June 2012 – Brother International Australia is utilising LED technology in their latest line of Colour LED Printers & Multi-Function Centres®. The new range is capable of higher print speeds in both colour and monochrome, greater resolution with no loss in speed and is quieter, longer lasting and consumes less power.

With LED technology, Brother has made printing more efficient with faster outputs.  An LED  arrangement delivers the toner directly across the length of the drum which then bonds ink to the paper in a single step compared to multiple steps that occur in non-LED printers. Whether printing colour or monochrome, low resolution or high resolution, the process is the same, at the same speed and with the same high quality result.

Each of the four products in the series (including HL-3045CN, HL-3075CW, MFC-9125CN, MFC-9325W) is capable of up to 18 pages per minute in colour or monochrome at a maximum 2,400 x 600dpi optimised print resolution. Each product in the range comes with an LCD display making the devices easy to navigate via the simple and intuitive on-screen menu. The selected range also has USB direct interface allowing printing from USB storage (.pdf and.jpeg) without the need for a PC. Paper handling is also reduced considerably thanks to the 250-sheet input tray cutting down on the number of times you need to refill the machine.
The range consists of wired and wireless printers as well as Multi-Function Centres® with print/copy/scan/fax.

HL-3045CN – The base unit in the range, the HL- 3045CN is a LAN networked printer with 32MB of memory (expandable to 544MB). It is capable of up to 18ppm in colour and monochrome and has a 250 sheet paper tray with a single sheet manual feed tray for envelopes and thick paper printing.

HL- 3075CW – The HL-3075CW offers both wired and wireless networking, 18ppm print speed in colour and monochrome, 250 sheet paper tray and single sheet manual feed. It has 64MB of memory (expandable to 576MB) and is PictBridge, PCL6/BRScript 3 compatible with USB host functionality.

MFC-9125CN – With print, copy, scan and fax functionality, the MFC-9125CN Multi-Function Centre® is ideal for small business and home use alike.  It is capable of 18ppm colour and monochrome printing and has a 250 sheet paper tray with a single sheet manual feeder. It has 64MB of memory (expandable to 576MB) and is LAN networked only.

MFC-9325CW – The flagship model in the range has print, copy, scan and fax functionality as well as wireless 802.11b/g networking.  It has the standard 250 sheet paper tray and can print 18ppm in colour and monochrome at high resolution. It is also perfect for printing directly from digital cameras and USB devices thanks to its PictBridge and USB host features.

Each of the machines in the range uses an innovative toner assembly which is separate from the print drum.  This means that customers only need to replace either the toner or drum as necessary, reducing the cost of new toner when the need arises. The monochrome toner can print 2200 pages and the colour toner can print 1400 pages before needing to be replaced.

Due to the nature of the LED arrangement used in the new range, the environmental impact to produce LED printers is much lower than would typically be found in laser printer manufacture.  Also, Brother International Australia is committed to ensuring that their products don’t end up as landfill at the end of their life cycle.  Thanks to their partnership with ANZRP (via upcoming product stewardship scheme), all printers can be handed in for recycling.  Brother is also a full funding partner of the ‘Cartridges 4 Planet Ark’ program which guarantees zero waste to landfill.
