This device is easy in operation because of its high printing speed and it is perfect both for home and office usage due to its high quality of photos.

Brother printer MFC-3420C, as well as Brother MFC-3820CN and Brother MFC-620CN, has recognizable and stylish design, which has been visible for several generations of home devices, manufactured by Brother company. The scanner unit is situated on the upper edge. You hardly could see it because of the deepening near the front edge of the cover. The unit also has an operation panel and LCD display with an adjustable angle of slope. You could see small icons among the displayed information, they indicate the ink level in cartridges. You could make a large diagram on the screen, that will show the ink level in every cartridge.

Ergonomic design

Brother printers MFC-3420C have four independent cartridges (CMYK), which are situated in the module on the front the panel, i. e. to change the consumables, you should not open the upper part of the device. This construction simplifies the process of changing cartridges and everyone could change consumables easily.

But operations with paper are not so handy. To fill the feeding tray, it should be completely removed. In its bottom part A4 format standard paper is placed. The unit also has a mobile upper part. It's an additional photo paper tray for 10x15cm format, which keeps 20 pages. To use this tray, you should move it to the rear edge of the main one, and return it after printing, otherwise the printer will not use A4 format paper at the "first floor". For paper of large formats the printer also has a withdrawable ledge. You will have to remove it completely to get your prints. All these inconveniences caused by its small dimensions.

Brother MFC-3420C wireless inkjet all-in-one printer has a minimum set of functions such as wireless connection Wi-Fi interface, combined with rather small characteristics of dimensions. Multifunction device has pretty high operation speed, and it perfectly fits for scanning and copying documents at home.

The advantages of the device were shown in technical expositions in big centers of new technologies, such as New York, Washington, Boston, Detroit, Chicago. The users could appreciate this device and compare it with its rivals. Among the main characteristics of the printer the best transmission of gradation scale and thin hachures in color printing were marked and also a high quality of printing on photocopying paper. In monochrome copying MFC-3420C printer perfectly operates with half-tints, but it failed with thin hachures in black-and-white and color copying.
