Brother MFC-J5010N Review: Specs, Price & Drivers — When it comes to business environments that need to get a lot done without spending a lot of money, the Brother MFC-J5010N really does the job. This single-tray A4 multifunction inkjet printer is just as good as the dual-tray MFC-J5115N and the HL-J5113N. It shows that small desktop printers can handle office tasks—making it a big change for any office!
Fast. Strong Build
When you first see the MFC-J5010N, its size (W435 x D439 x H273 mm) and easy-to-use 2.7-inch touchscreen are impressive. Don’t be fooled by how small it looks. This printer is built to last a time. It can print 300,000 pages or seven years. You will like how fast it prints the page—just 4.5 seconds for black-and-white and 4.7 seconds for color. It can print up to 28 pages per minute in black and 26 in color, so your team will never have to wait for a printer.
Ink That Saves Money and Handles Paper Types
What really makes the MFC-J5010N special is the way it saves money. It uses Brothers First Tank independent four-color pigment ink system, specifically the high-capacity LC516XL series. This means you can print up to 6,000 pages in black and 5,000 in color from one refill! That is a lot of savings with each page costing ¥0.8 for black and ¥4.1 for color. Also, the pigment ink is strong so your text and pictures stay clear and don't smudge.
When it comes to handling paper, the main front tray can hold up to 250 sheets. It also has a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder that is perfect for envelopes or thicker paper. Don't forget the 50-sheet automatic document feeder that allows for double-sided scanning. This is a print-copy-scan-fax solution in one small machine!
Final Thoughts and Some Small Issues
So is there anything about the MFC-J5010N? Compared to the J5115N model, the MFC-J5010N only has one main paper tray. This could be a problem for businesses that often need to switch between different paper sizes. However, it only weighs 14.0 kg, so it's easy to move when needed.
In conclusion, with support for Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, Moria and full driver support for Windows, macOS and Linux, the Brother MFC-J5010N gives value for small businesses looking for affordable and reliable printing. Take this chance to make your office more efficient!
