Specifications
The Brother MFC-J485DW printer boasts a thermal inkjet print technology with a piezo print head that includes 210 nozzles. This functional feature is perfect for black and white printing, but color printing requires the use of three separate components. These nozzles work together to produce high-quality prints in cyan, yellow, and magenta.
To support this advanced technology, the printer is equipped with an internal memory capacity of 128 MB of RAM. Additionally, the printer has a processor that is perfectly suited for this task.
The printer is equipped with a power source that delivers a voltage range of 100-120 Volts and operates at a frequency of 50/60 Hz. The amount of energy consumed by the printer varies depending on its function. Copying, for example, requires 20 watts of power, while active mode consumes 3.5 watts. Meanwhile, the sleep mode uses approximately 1.2 watts, and powering off the device only requires 0.2 watts. These power usage levels are directly related to the printer’s operational processes.
The printing device boasts a depth of 6.8 inches and a height of 8.9 inches, while the width measures approximately 15.7 inches with closed trays and 16.2 inches for open trays. It also weighs in at around 18.1 lbs. One notable feature is the automatic document feeder (ADF), which enhances input loading capacity.
