Great small business printer
Great features in one machine. I have 2 offices, and after the success with the first printer, I ended up getting one for the second office.

Things to consider
Photo print quality is good for documents and casual images, but not as vibrant or detailed as dedicated photo printers.
Home office suitability score
9/10 - Excellent for home offices needing A3 capability and multifunction features.
Photo printing quality
6/10 - Suitable for everyday colour prints, but lacks the vibrancy and detail of specialist photo printers.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - Intuitive touchscreen and simple wireless setup make operation straightforward.
Running cost guidance
Moderate - Individual ink cartridges help control costs, but high-volume users may find ink expenses add up over time.
Family friendliness
Good - Easy to use and safe for family environments, but large footprint may not suit all homes.
Key benefits
- A3 Printing: Supports up to A3 paper size, ideal for posters, plans, and large spreadsheets.
- Fast Print Speeds: Delivers up to 22 pages per minute (mono), reducing wait times for large jobs.
- Automatic Duplex Printing: Saves paper and time with built-in double-sided printing.
- High Paper Capacity: 250-sheet input tray minimises the need for frequent refills.
- Wireless & Mobile Printing: Print from laptops, tablets, and smartphones via Wi-Fi and cloud services.
- Large Touchscreen Display: 6.8 cm colour touchscreen simplifies navigation and setup.
- Multi-Function Capability: Print, scan, copy, and fax in one device for all-in-one convenience.
- Individual Ink Cartridges: Replace only the colour you need, helping manage ongoing costs.
Q: Does the Brother MFC-J6540DW print A3 documents double-sided?
A: Yes. It supports automatic 2-sided printing on A3, so larger reports, plans and spreadsheets do not need manual page flipping. Duplex printing applies to print jobs, while scanning is listed as single-sided on this model.
Q: Can the Brother MFC-J6540DW scan double-sided originals automatically?
A: No. The listed scan function is single-sided, so double-sided originals need to be scanned in two passes or turned over manually. That matters if a lot of invoices or contracts arrive printed on both sides.
Q: What ink cartridges does the Brother MFC-J6540DW use?
A: This model uses Brother LC462 series ink cartridges, with high-yield options available. Brother lists yields of 3,000 black pages and 1,500 colour pages for replacement cartridges, based on standard test conditions rather than every job.
Q: Is the Brother MFC-J6540DW a good fit for a small office that prints often?
A: Yes. With print speeds of 28 pages per minute, a 4.4 second first page out time and a 250-sheet tray, it suits regular business printing better than entry models. Heavy A3 and A4 switching may be less convenient because it has one main tray.
Q: Does the Brother MFC-J6540DW support both Wi-Fi and wired networking?
A: Yes. It supports dual-band Wi-Fi on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, plus Ethernet, Wi-Fi Direct and USB. That gives flexibility for shared office use, although 5GHz is typically faster at short range and 2.4GHz generally reaches further.
