The DCP-J140W is one of Brother's cheapest inkjet multifunction printers, making it a suitable entry-level device for a small office or busy home users. It copies, scans and prints, but the absence of fax capabilities and the expensive running costs of the Brother DCP-J140W wireless all-in-one inkjet printer make it inferior to similar models.
Design
The Brother DCP-J140W compact colour inkjet multifunction printer features a smooth matte surface, a boxy frame, and curved edges. The scanner is adjacent to the control panel, which has a 15-line display screen and a total of 13 buttons for on-board configuration of all functions. The Brother DCP-J140W printer can be connected to a single computer via USB 2.0. Users can also print wirelessly from the DCP-J140W multifunction printer. The Brother DCP-J140W printer uses Brother LC-985 ink cartridges which can be purchased in four individual colours or as a set of Brother inks.
Advantages
It is affordable and easy to set-up. The input tray of the Brother DCP-J140W is good for 100 sheets. The ink cartridges are easy to install in the front panel. This device is also praised for its software bundle, small footprint, and separate colour cartridges. The minimalist control panel of the Brother DCP-J140W inkjet printer is easy to operate. Built-in Wi-Fi makes it possible to print directly from compatible mobile devices.
Disadvantages
The slow print speed is one of the setbacks of the Brother DCP J140W colour inkjet printer. The Brother DCP J140W all-in-one also lacks important features such as the fax facility, Ethernet, memory card slots, and a larger display screen. The Brother DCPJ140W’s print quality is not impressive. Overall running costs are significantly higher than the competition.
