Brother moved into printer and all-in-one design from the office equipment side of the market and in some ways the MFC-820CW looks more like an enhanced fax machine than a printer with added fax facilities. It’s certainly a very neat design though, with a small footprint and low profile, partly because of a new paper path.
Earlier machines in Brother’s all-in-one ranges fed paper from near vertical trays at the back, but this takes up more room and the paper’s exposed to dust and other pollutants, so the newer design, where paper feeds from an internal tray, performs a 180-degree turn and ejects at the front, is an improvement in both respects.
