Brother has revealed a large number of printers as part of its product lineup refresh aimed at business and enterprise users, both for medium-level and higher print and scan volumes. New monochrome laser printers and all-in-one devices have been announced by the company, boasting features including Wi-Fi connectivity, color touchscreen displays, AirPrint and Mopria support, faster print speeds, and connectivity to business cloud services.

The base model in the monochrome laser printer range is the HL-L5100DN, which offers up to 42 pages per minute (ppm), a 250-sheet capacity tray, duplex printing, and networking over Ethernet for $199. The HL-L5200DW for $290 adds in wireless networking, while the HL-L5200DWT at $299 boosts the tray capacity to 520 sheets. All three are due in March.

In the same range and due to ship this month, the $249 HL-L6200DW offers a Gigabit Ethernet connection, prints at up to 48ppm, while also retaining the 520-sheet capacity tray. The HL-L6200DWT boosts this further by adding a second 520-sheet capacity tray, doubling the total paper capacity of the printer, and is coming out in February for $349.

Lastly, the HL-L6300DW adds an increased 250-sheet capacity output, Web Connect, an NFC card reader, and a 1.8-inch touchscreen for printer management and configuration. Aimed at more print-intensive offices, this model is priced at $399, and will be coming out in March.

The business mono laser MFC, or all-in-one, line-up begins with the MFC-L5700DW, due in March for $349. This printer offers a 250-sheet capacity tray, a print speed of 42ppm, duplex printing capabilities, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, and a 3.7-inch touchscreen. This touchscreen can be used to create up to 48 customized shortcuts for prints, and to help configure access to business cloud services, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, and SFTP folders, for use with its printing, copying, faxing, and scanning capabilities.

Moving upwards, the MFC-L5800DW adds in a 70-page capacity automatic document feeder and legal document-sized glass for $399, due this March. The MFC-L5900DW arriving in March for $449 will add in duplex scan and copy, as well as Gigabit Ethernet, though the MFC-L5850DW will offer similar features without Gigabit connectivity next month for $399.

The MFC-L6700DW, arriving in March for $599, increases the print speed to 48ppm, as well as adding a larger 520-sheet capacity tray and a replacement toner cartridge said to provide up to 12 thousand prints. Topping this collection is the MFC-L6800DW, which for $699 includes an 8 thousand-print in-box toner, an extra 250-sheet capacity output, an 80-page automatic document feeder, increased scan speeds, and an NFC card reader.

Lastly, the mono laser DCP range consists of three multifunction printers capable of copying and scanning documents. The base DCP-L5500DN has a 42ppm print speed, a 250-sheet capacity tray, duplex printing, a 40-page ADF, a 3.7-inch touchscreen, Web Connect support, Ethernet connectivity, and an 8K replacement toner. The next model up, the DCP-L5600DN, increases the ADF to 70 pages as well as adding legal-size glass, while the DCP-L5650DN offers Gigabit Ethernet and duplex scanning and copying.

Coming out in March, the L5500DN, L5600DN, and L5650DN will cost $299, $349, and $399 respectively.

Which ones are the all-in-ones? I love Brother printers. Proper driver support and the toner lasts forever (with some hacks, perhaps).

Apologies for the slight lack of clarity.
The all-in-one printers start after the photograph, and are denoted by the MFC prefix for those with fax capabilities, and DCP for those just with printing, copying, and scanning. A minor note of where the all-in-one collection starts has been added to the story.
