The printer features a 6.8cm colour touchscreen that offers direct access to functions and features of the printer offering easy control and setup. The printer measures 57.5 x 47.7 x 30.5cm and has a weight of 19.6kg. The low energy usage of the printer gives it a better environmentally-friendly rating. There is a USB flash drive option for direct printing. The printer has been designed for high-volume printing, which should lend itself to a longer life in most settings. Advantages If your Brother machine is connected to a wireless network and you reset the network settings to factory default, you must reconnect your Brother machine to the wireless network again. The MFC-J6530DW offers USB and 10/100 Ethernet connections, along with phone line and handset links. However, all these cables need to be fed through channels in the machine’s internals, which on a machine of this size takes up quite a bit of the cable length.

One of the recent trends in inkjet all-in-one printer design is larger, A3 print. Brother has been one of the pioneers of this with many of its business inkjets offering at least occasional, single-sheet A3. However, the MFC-J6530DW is a full A3 design, including main paper tray and automatic document feeder (ADF). The Workforce WF-7620DTWF has a much larger touchscreen, twin paper trays and an SD card scanner, while the HP printer offers twin 250-sheet trays as standard, and can only print A3, not scan or copy it.
