What the Manufacturer, Brother says:
The inexpensive DCP-110C's stylish and compact design is perfect for printing, copying and scanning.

The DCP-110C is ideal for the home including those working from home. An easy to use control panel offers direct access to all the functions. The print resolution of 1200 x 6000 dpi guarrantees a high quality of print for black and white, full colour, simple text or complex graphic images.

Overview

The Brother DCP 110C 's internal workings are different from most other multifunction devices. Most other devices have their ink cartridges fitted to a moving print head, but the DCP-110C has its ink tanks fitted to the actual body of the machine. Thus ink is transferred from the ink tanks to the moving print head via a tube system, which Brother calls Capillary Tube Technology. The main reason for implementing this system is to keep the print head's weight to a minimum, which in turn reduces noise and vibration caused by the side-to-side motion of the print head.

The input tray at the front of the printer can hold up to 100 sheets of paper, which is then pushed through a curved paper path and pushed out to rest in the output tray, located above the input tray. Both these trays are within the footprint of the unit itself, with only a small flap protruding towards the front of the unit to hold up the paper that has been output. This allows for upto 25 sheets to be held in the output area of the printer.

The DCP-110C provides four modes for versatile document printing:

  1. fast
  2. fast normal
  3. normal
  4. fine

Fast mode produces light grey text suitable for proofing and fast normal mode producing darker, relatively sharp text that is easy on the eyes. Fine mode is noticeably the sharpest and darkest of all modes and, of course, the slowest. A full page of text takes about 1 minute 14 seconds to complete in fine mode, 30 seconds in normal mode, 22 seconds in fast normal mode and 17 seconds in fast mode.

Photo printing on the DCP-110C is excellent producing sharpness and colour tones quite remarkable for a printer in this price range. Typically photo-quality prints are completed in about 5 minutes 20 seconds.

For scanning, the DCP-110C has a basic TWAIN driver that allows for few custom settings (resolution and brightness/contrast) and so is very easy to use. Those looking for basic scanning will be pleased by its colour capabilities. For OCR, Brother supplies ScanSoft's OmniPage, which does a good job of scanning and preparing text for editing very quickly. Scan keys on the control panel make it easy to quickly scan documents and images to the computer, or even to a memory card.

Photocopies colour documents . "Best quality" copies are very fast. A full-page colour photo completes typically in just 2 minutes 19 seconds. Photocopies of a full-page text document in normal mode, takes just 28 seconds.

The DCP-110C has a one-line LCD to show the settings you are applying. The control buttons are simple to use and the menu system easy to navigate. Shortcut buttons make copy and scan functions very convenient, while the Brother Control Center software can be used to quickly execute tasks from Windows.

The integrated memory card reader on the front of the unit also makes it easy to print borderless photos from your digital camera's memory card, and you can view the contents of your card by printing out index pages.
