DCP-L5500
Built as the workhorse starting point of the L5000 multifunction line, the Brother DCP-L5500 delivers fast 42-ppm mono output with automatic two-sided printing. Its 40-page automatic document feeder and letter-size scan glass keep everyday copy and scan jobs moving, while USB and Ethernet cover wired office connections. It runs on Brother's high-yield TN850 toner (about 8,000 pages) paired with the DR820 drum for long, low-cost print runs.
