Brother's colour laser printers HL-4150CDN, HL-4570CDW deliver professionalism for businesses

Brother International, a leader in home and business IT peripherals that focuses on the 'customer-first' approach, introduces its latest high-speed automatic double-sided printing colour laser printers, HL-4150CDN and HL-4570CDW to target small medium businesses (SMEs), corporate workgroups and small office home offices (SOHOs) that seek high quality printouts.

Brother delivers high-performance professional printing solutions for all business users. The new range of colour laser printers offers reliable, high speed and yet inexpensive quality printouts that address the needs of today's businesses - effective cost-cutting that maintains high quality and time efficiency in printing. These printers provide powerful performance and high returns of investment at highly competitive costs, both in direct purchase savings and long-term operating costs.

Unlike other print brands, with Brother's innovative single pass technology, this series of colour laser printers can print in colour as fast as monochrome to save time and increase work efficiency in the office.

For many businesses that aim to be environmentally friendly, the Deep Sleep mode is a new feature in this series that operates at a mere 0.9 watts. The automatic double-sided printing also reduces paper usage by half.

Web-based management and/or BRAdmin are simple-to-use systems for easy changing of settings and configuring device status alerts without leaving your desk*. Web-based management allows configuration through your Web browser so there's no need to install any software. BRAdmin is perfect for a large suite of machines spread across multiple locations, saving you the time of having to physically visit a printer.

“Brother has been providing quality, value and trust for business users and consumers all over the world. We offer only the best and are always looking at addressing various needs for printing solutions to bring the maximum value and optimum result for every user. We are pleased to introduce the new range of colour laser printers that is environmentally and budget friendly for businesses to increase productivity intelligently and flexibly,” said Wayne Everton, Managing Director, Brother International South Africa.

Ideal networked and wireless devices for the office environment, the printers enable users to share a printer among several users, reducing space needed. The Access and Usage Control feature allows administrators in the office to restrict access to colour printing and set monthly print volume allowance so as to control running costs.

The Energy Star compliant printers also feature class-leading low TEC (Typical Electrical Consumption) to conserve energy, which converts to reduction in energy bills. In addition, the N-in-1 printing allows users to reduce two, four, nine, 16 or 25 pages onto an A4 sheet, saving paper and toner. For large print volume, companies can look forward to more savings with super high yield cartridges.

Brother's Direct USB Print is a saviour when you are in a hurry - print directly from the USB Flash Memory Drive without using a computer. These printers also allow users to print easy-to-read and professional documents in A5 booklet format, simply by choosing the special feature in the driver.

Brother's Secure Print is a user-friendly feature to help safeguard your confidential and important documents. Enter a private PIN code on the computer when you are ready to print. The document will print only after you have physically entered your PIN code at the printer.

SSL Encryption - Brother also prevents hacking of information when documents are sent from computer to the printer with SSL encryption. Although documents are sent from computer to printer within seconds, this is long enough for the information to be hacked. SSL prevents this by encrypting the data you send over the network.

* Support level varies.
