The more robust Canon MF731Cdw holds 20 sheets more than the MFC-元770CDW, and HP's M281fdw ($349.99 at HP) can hold 29 sheets less.Īll these AIOs, of course, come with automatic document feeders (ADFs) for feeding multipage documents to the scanner automatically. One reason for the MFC-元770CDW's size is that it holds about twice as much paper-280 sheets versus 151 sheets-as the Canon MF634Cdw. HP's entry-level Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw is, on the other hand, several inches smaller in all directions and weighs about 10 pounds less than the MFC-元770CDW.

That's an inch here and there larger and a few pounds heavier than the Canon model, but slightly smaller and lighter than another somewhat costlier and beefier Canon AIO, the Color imageClass MF731Cdw. The MFC-元770CDW measures 16.3 by 16.1 by 20 inches (HWD) and weighs 53.9 pounds. However, you couldn't tell that by comparing the MFC-元770CDW's size and girth with its Canon MF634Cdw ($249.99 at Amazon) competitor. Printer manufacturers like Brother, and especially OKI Data, sometimes deploy LED arrays in their machines because they cost less to manufacture and are smaller than traditional laser-imaging mechanisms, allowing the companies (theoretically anyway) to make smaller, less-expensive machines. From the user's perspective, these two types of machines work identically and achieve the same results. Instead of deploying lasers to etch a page image on to the imaging drum prior to transferring it to the paper, LED printers use an LED array to achieve the same results. The MFC-元770CDW is part of a seven-machine upgrade to Brother's line of LED (light-emitting diode) printers.

Overall, it provides better value for your company's money-just enough to edge the MFC-元770CDW into the Editors' Choice slot for entry-level color laser-class AIOs. But compared with that Canon, the Brother model's paper input capacity is higher, it prints faster, and it supports near-field communication (NFC), the protocol that allows you to connect a mobile device to the printer by simply touching the former to a hotspot on the latter. It has the same list price as our current Editors' Choice, Canon's Color ImageClass MF634Cdw. The Brother MFC-元770CDW ($399.99) is an entry-level color laser-class all-in-one (AIO) printer designed for relatively light use in small and home-based offices and workgroups.
