The print engine of the Brother MFC-5100C is a color ink jet design with a resolution of 2,400 by 1,200 dpi, but they differ significantly. Even with class-leading total cost of ownership, these machines don’t compete with the other MFPs in this tale. Because of its parallel and USB interfaces, these devices are simple to install. For our testing, we had to download Microsoft Windows XP drivers, but the company intends to include them by the time you read this. It came with ScanSoft’s optical character recognition program TextBridge and PaperPort, an excellent document management utility. Unfortunately, the version that came with these printers is incompatible with Windows XP, so we were unable to utilize it. The company also expects to release a Windows XP–compatible version of the product soon. The gadget resembles a standard desktop fax machine, complete with a paper input tray and a sheet-fed scanner. Even for walk-up fax services, the control panel is simple to operate. The sheet feeder performed admirably, although some of the multifunction functions were restricted. For digital copies, for example, there is only a two-up option (for two page images per sheet) rather than four-up, and it is only for black-and-white copies, not color. Even at the highest resolution settings on glossy paper, print quality was fair, with evident banding and dithering. The MFC-5100C is more adaptable, as it includes a flatbed scanner with a document feeder. The flatbed makes scanning or copying bound and compact items simple; you’ll need this feature for photographs because the document feeder struggles with them. Digital copying, for example, offers two-up, four-up, and color poster printing. This printer’s print quality was marginal, with some banding and dithering noticeable even at high-quality settings. The models had acceptable speeds, which were negated in both cases by low quality ratings. They were especially good at printing PDFs from Adobe Acrobat. These printers are also appealing because to their low operating expenses. The cost per page was calculated to be 4 cents. Because each color is in its own cartridge, you won’t waste ink if you use one color more than another. On the negative, these printers had the slowest scanning rates in the group. The MFC-5100C has tempting features but generally falls short. This computer is notable for its flatbed scanner, however the document feeder should be improved, and the scanner is once again slow. Neither is ideal.
