MFC-L5900
Nothing in the family is held back on the Brother MFC-L5900: dual-CIS single-pass duplex scanning hits 56 images per minute in mono, and duplexing runs across print, copy, scan and fax alike. Gigabit Ethernet, 512MB of memory and the 42-ppm engine round out the flagship spec. With the high-yield TN850 toner (about 8,000 pages) and DR820 drum, it delivers premium multifunction performance at a sensible running cost.
