Manufacturer’s Description

The MFC-9125CN All-In-One LED Printer from Brother combines a fast 19 pages/minute print and copy speed with high-quality color scanning and faxing in a compact unit that fits in any environment. The printer uses a 4-cartridge ink system so you can keep print costs low by only replacing the color that runs out.
