4540_connectivity.png

Work connected, always

You don’t just need to be sat at your desk, or even near the printer to use the MFC-J4540DW. With the range of connectivity options available, you can print anywhere in your house or office – and even from your mobile phone through the Wi-Fi, or NFC. By downloading the Brother Mobile Connect app you can access an array of features – from sending print jobs, to checking your ink levels and ordering replenishments when necessary.
4540_inks.png

Keep on top of your ink useage, quickly and easily

We’ve reengineered our ink cartridges to hold more ink and created an internal ink storage tank that delivers more pages of uninterrupted printing without sacrificing the compact, desktop size. Also, thanks to the page gauge feature you can check remaining ink levels on your LCD touchscreen to help avoid interrupted printing.

4540_printquality.png

Professional print quality from the comfort of your home

Your workplace may be at home but that should not mean print quality should be compromised. With the MFC-J4540DW you can expect print quality of the highest order, at quick, hassle-free speeds. Additionally, with the MFC-J4540DW’s simple to use 6.8cm LCD touchscreen, navigating tasks has never been easier.

4540-scanning.png

Scanning technology to improve work flow, even when working remotely

As a multifunction device the MFC-J4540DW can do so much more than print. The scanning opportunities available for example can significantly enhance your productivity from home. You can scan in colour or mono at high speeds to several destinations to boost workflow:

  • Image
  • File
  • OCR
  • Email
4540_papercapacity.png

More capacity, more paper control

The MFC-J4540DW comes with an extra paper tray – this means that as well as replenishing ink less, the need to replace paper in the device is also reduced. With this, comes more control over how you use your time to be as productive as possible.
