Latest mono laser 3-in-1 printer of
Brother is DCP-7055W. In addition to printing, it can also scan and copy your
documents.
Not only the initial purchase is cheap, it
is quite compact, with the size of 405x399x268mm and the weight of 9.8kg.
However, while the main body brings back
hard feeling, the lid seems flimsy. It's not ideal when you're scanning or
copying books or thick materials.

Paper is supplied from a standard 250 paper
tray at the base, or 1 sheet tray at the front.
The dashboard just has essential things.
You have one group of buttons or 3 main modes, along with the arrow keys to
scroll through the setting options on the LCD 2 line, 16 characters.
The screen is hard to read in dim light,
but this reduction is expected when you pay only $214 for a laser printer.
This
Brother DCP7055W has a flatbed scanner with a cover, plus a control panel with
LCD display and function buttons.
USB and Wi-Fi has compatibility with
laptops, PCs, tablets and smartphones. There is no Ethernet to connect to the
office network.
Besides, the automatic two-sided printing
utility is also not available, although the standard print speed of 18ppm (not
20ppm as the statement of Brother) is quite reasonable.
Photo scan is reproduced with realistic
colors, while the text in black is deep and consistent. However, as most mono
laser printer of Brother, the copy file is significantly darker than the
original, with the evidence of banding phenomenon.
DCP-7055W is clearly used for low power
printing, basing on the advised work cycle is from 250 pages to 1600 pages/month.
Work
cycle is from 250 pages to 1600 pages/month.
The standard 1,000 standard page toner
cartridge costs $56 (or about 4p/page), it is more expensive than its cheap
price brother. In fact, you'll pay almost four times more than the cost per
page of a printer for business use, such as Brother HL-5380DN.
