While most all-in-one machines sacrifice quality for convenience, Brother's MFC-8500 multifunction center compares favorably with dedicated machines on the market. A fast 15-page-per-minute print time combined with 600 x 600 dpi output provides quality images with little wait time, while an 8 MB memory can up to 500 pages for out-of-paper reception.
Three quick scan buttons provide plenty of convenience, while a maximum scanning resolution of 9,600 x 9,600 (interpolated) dpi provides ample quality. The fax machine is call waiting, caller ID, and distinctive-ring detection ready, has 116 auto-dial stations, and has a super-quick setting, which can scan faxes in as little as two seconds.
The copier has a multicopy function of up to 99 pages, can enlarge copies anywhere from 50 to 100 percent, and is capable of a 600 x 600 dpi output. USB and parallel port interfaces are provided for easy connectivity, while ScanSoft PaperPort and TextBridge OCR are included with the MFC-8500 to help you get the most out of your scans.
Even with all these features, the best thing about this machine could be the price tag. The MFC-8500 also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty.
