The Brother MFC-L2800DWRE1 is a multifunction device (MFP) of the category all-in-one laser/LED, specifically designed for use in home & office environments. It combines the functions of printing, scanning, copying, and faxing in a single device and is designed for a monthly workload of up to 2500 pages. The printing technology is based on laser printing with monochrome printing capability, with a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI. The print speed is 32 pages per minute in simplex mode and 16 pages per minute in duplex mode, with the first page available in 8.5 seconds. The duplex function is only available for printing, not for copying or scanning.
Applications
This device is suitable for small offices, home offices, or smaller departments where a compact, versatile solution for daily printing and document needs is required. The integrated fax function with modem speed of 33.6 Kbit/s and automatic reduction supports operation in environments where fax communication is still relevant. The N-in-1 copy function (2- and 4-up) enables efficient creation of multiple copies on a single page, which is useful for preparing documents or presentations.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device features an automatic document feeder (ADF) with a capacity of 50 sheets, enabling scanning and copying of multi-page documents without manual page-turning. The scanner is a flatbed & ADF scanner with CIS technology and an optical scan resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI in flatbed mode and 600 x 600 DPI in ADF mode. The scanning speed is 7.5 pages per minute in colour mode. The scan function supports document transmission via email, email server, file, and OCR. The copy function offers a maximum resolution of 600 x 600 DPI.
Technology Explained Simply
The laser printing technology ensures sharp, clean print results with high speed. The 128 MB memory capacity enables processing of complex documents and temporary storage of print jobs. The duplex function for printing reduces paper consumption by printing on both sides. The WLAN function supports standards 802.11a/b/g/n (Wi-Fi 4) and Wi-Fi Direct, enabling wireless connection to mobile devices without a router. The Ethernet/LAN interface (10/100Base-T(X)) ensures a stable network connection in the office. The USB 2.0 interface allows direct connection to a computer. The direct print function enables printing from USB storage devices.
Compatibility and Accessories
The device is compatible with Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, enabling mobile printing from iOS and Android devices. The network functions support a variety of protocols, including IPv4 and IPv6, as well as SNMPv1/v2c/v3, HTTP/HTTPS, LPR/LPD, IPP/IPPS, SMTP Client, POP3, FTP Client and Server, TFTP, ICMP, mDNS, LLMNR, DNS Resolver, WINS/NetBIOS name resolution, APIPA (Auto IP), SNTP Client, IMAP4, and Web Services (Print/Scan). Security features include WPA2-AES, 64-bit WEP, WPA2-PSK, 128-bit WEP, WPA3-SAE, WPA-AES, WPA-PSK, WPA-TKIP. Consumables consist of a toner (starter toner with yield up to 700 pages, optional TN-2510 with up to 1,200 pages or TN-2510XL with up to 3,000 pages) and a drum (DR-2510) with a lifespan of up to 15,000 pages.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed via the integrated USB 2.0 interface, Ethernet/LAN, or WLAN. Setup can be supported by the Brother Mobile Connect App, enabling mobile control and printing. The device features a 2-line LCD display and a button interface, making operation intuitive. The paper input capacity is 250 sheets, and the output capacity is 120 sheets. Supported media types include plain paper, recycled paper, envelopes, labels, thick and thin paper. Supported formats range from A4, A5, A6, B5 to legal, letter, C5, Com-10, DL, Monarch. Custom media sizes range from 105–216 mm (width) and 147–356 mm (length).
Operational Advantages
The combination of high print speed, duplex printing, WLAN and LAN connectivity, and mobile printing via AirPrint and Mopria ensures high productivity. The separate drum and toner unit reduces operating costs, as only the consumed toner needs to be replaced. Energy efficiency is supported by low power consumption in sleep mode (4.1 W) and when powered off (0.08 W). The Energy Star Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) is 0.37 kWh. The paper handling with 250-sheet input and 120-sheet output tray ensures smooth workflow at high print volumes. The colour scanning function with OCR support enables digital archiving of documents.
