Brother DCP-7030 Toner Cartridges

If you are looking for a relatively fast, low cost laser printer/copier/color scanner for your home or small office the Brother DCP-7030 is the perfect choice. The unit only weighs 21.81 lbs. and measures 16.9” x 15.6” x 10.1” but amazingly can print up to 23 monochrome (Black & White) pages per minute with recommended maximum monthly duty cycle of 10,000 impressions. The drum unit (DR360) has an estimated yield of 12,000 pages. The black high-yield toner cartridge (TN360) is estimated at 2,600 pages at 5% coverage and the black standard-yield (TN330) is estimated at 1,500 pages at 5% coverage. The paper tray holds up to 250 sheets of letter or legal size paper. However, the bypass or manual tray is a single-sheet feeder. The output tray has a capacity of 100 sheets which is sufficient as the machine can only make 99 copies at a time. Brother introduced the DCP-7030 in June of 2008 with a suggested retail price of $299.99

The DCP7030 software ScanSoft® PaperPort® 11SE with OCR by NUANCE™ for Windows ® and Presto! ® PageManager 7 ® for Mac is easy to install using the CD supplied with the machine. The software is compatible with Windows 7 / Vista / XP / XP x64 / 2000 and Mac OS X 10.2.4 or greater.
