HL-3270CDW
Despite the name, the Brother HL-3270CDW runs at 25 ppm, not 27, matching the rest of the 3200 family. What the extra digits buy is convenience: a 2.7-inch color touchscreen, NFC tap-to-print, and full WiFi/Ethernet/USB connectivity with automatic duplexing. It is the step-up pick for offices that want walk-up control without a bigger footprint, running on TN223/TN227 cartridges and the DR223CL drum unit.
