Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Does this heavy-duty workgroup desktop printer support color outputs?
  No. This is a dedicated monochrome device that prints exclusively in black and white using heat-fused black laser toner powder.
• Can this printer perform automatic double-sided printing out of the box?
  No. The base machine layout requires passing sheets through manual feeding cycles for two-sided files. To gain automatic hands-free double-sided duplexing, you must install the optional Brother DX-6000 hardware attachment unit.
• Do I need to replace the entire printing core when the machine runs low on black powder?
  No. This hardware utilizes a cost-effective two-piece consumable layout. The toner cartridge fits inside a separate long-life drum housing, allowing you to swap out the toner independently.
