Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What unique features make the MFC-5840CN ideal for high-volume work?
    The MFC-5840CN stands out with an expansive high-capacity dual-tray infrastructure. It features a standard 100-sheet cassette paired with a heavy-duty 250-sheet lower drawer, letting you keep up to 350 sheets loaded simultaneously or feed different media sizes seamlessly. It also boasts a larger 50-page Auto Document Feeder for hands-free scanning.
  • Can I swap single color ink tanks or do I replace a combined cartridge block?
    The MFC-5840CN utilizes an economical 4-cartridge individual ink system layout using the Brother LC41 cartridge line. This design allows you to replace only the specific single color tank that is completely empty, cutting down heavily on running costs over unified multi-color cartridge block models.
  • Will incoming fax faxes be lost if the machine runs dry of paper or ink while I am away?
    No. The system contains an integrated 16 MB onboard memory cache layer that automatically captures and preserves up to 480 pages of document data. Your faxes are safely kept in storage and will automatically print out the absolute moment fresh paper or ink supplies are loaded.
