Brother MFC8840DN All-In-One Printer Printer Review | PCWorld
Standing 21.8 inches tall and weighing about 40 pounds, the MFC-8840DN is smaller and lighter than most other laser MFPs we tested for our July 2005 roundup...The MFC-8840DN printed text at 15.5 pages per minute--the second-best mark posted by a member of the current crop of laser MFPs...Its scan speeds, however, were unremarkable: The MFC-8840DN took 24.3.
