It depends on the settings you choose - of all the scanners I've worked with, it's one of the faster ones. Especially when scanning documents with multiple pages. At a medium resolution (300x300dpi) and in colour, it takes about 10 seconds on one side and about 11 seconds on both sides (with document feeder).
99% I mean an LED printer.
in any case: I am 100% satisfied with it !!!
for me: Best in Class ... :-)

The printer will not work if only the black and white toner is installed and the colour toners are missing. Many modern printers, including colour printers, require all toner cartridges to be present in order to print as they often perform a check to ensure that all cartridges are installed. This also applies to the Brother MFC-L8390CDW as it is designed as a colour printer and requires the presence of all toner cartridges to function correctly.
The Brother MFC-L8390CDW is compatible with Windows 11. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 11, ensuring seamless integration with notebooks running this operating system.
Yes, the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) of the Brother MFC-L8390CDW supports A4 format. The ADF can process documents in formats up to A4, not just the smaller 76.2 x 127 mm format.
According to our information, this printer does not have a page feeder, apart from the automatic document feeder. According to the manufacturer's information, this printer is compatible with the following paper formats: B5, B6, Legal, Letter, C5, A4, A5, A6

The printer has an automatic document feeder (ADF) with duplex scanning, which enables double-sided scanning. The scan resolution is up to 600 x 600 dpi, and colour and black and white scans are possible. Scans can be sent directly to Microsoft Office formats.
The device supports scanning to network folders via SMB (Scan to Network Folder), which enables scans to be stored on a NAS. The SMB version can be configured to ensure compatibility with the NAS. It is also possible to scan and send scans directly by email, including setting up shortcuts and PIN protection for the email function.
Yes, you can use the scanner and Brother software to create readable PDFs with an OCR function. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology makes it possible to convert scanned documents into editable text, which can then be saved as a searchable and readable PDF.
To do this, you use the Brother Control Centre software, which is installed with the device. You can use this software to start the scan and activate the OCR function to recognise the text in the scanned document and save it as an editable file. The prerequisite is that the OCR software (e.g. Scansoft PaperPort) is installed, which is often supplied with the printer or is available separately.
The device also supports scanning with OCR directly via the scan button if it is connected to a PC and the Brother iPrint&Scan software is installed. There you can select the "OCR" option during the scanning process to create an editable text file or a searchable PDF.
To summarise: Yes, you can create readable PDFs with OCR using the scanner and Brother software by using the appropriate scan option in the Brother software and having the OCR component installed.
I contacted Brother Switzerland support today. I had to send them a picture of my toner. They confirmed my printer came with " toners permettant d'imprimer 2 600 pages en noir et blanc, 1 400 pages en couleur"...
So its not the TN248 available in shops or their XL versions.
They asked me to send photo of the toner where serial numbers are visible and where we dont see the reference like in other official shop original toners.
Its like special "startup toners" (to ers de demarrage) and they have a capacity between TN48 and TN48 XL versions.
In practice, the power consumption of the printer during operation is around 600 W, e.g. according to the Brack specifications. The specified power of 960 W describes the maximum power consumption, e.g. during the warm-up phase, and appears to correspond to measured values. During the warm-up phase, the high power consumption can shorten the duration and reduce heat losses, which is theoretically more efficient. This value is particularly relevant in order to optimally distribute devices to fuses - however, I have never had a fuse blow.
### Duplex printing and scanning
Yes, the Brother MFC-L8390CDW can both print and scan duplex. The printer has an automatic double-sided printing function and a 50-page duplex automatic document feeder (ADF) that enables double-sided scanning.
### Comparison with the Brother MFC-L3770CDW
The Brother MFC-L8390CDW could be cheaper than the MFC-L3770CDW for several reasons:
- Technology and functions: The MFC-L8390CDW uses LED laser technology, which in some cases can be more cost-effective than traditional laser printing technology. It also offers a variety of functions such as NFC, Wi-Fi Direct and a higher scan resolution, but these do not necessarily have to be more expensive.
- Market positioning: The MFC-L8390CDW is designed for small to medium-sized offices and could therefore be offered at a lower price to remain competitive in this market segment.
- Availability and discounts: Price differences can also be influenced by current offers, discounts or regional pricing policies.
### Experience with the printer
The Brother MFC-L8390CDW is generally described as a powerful and versatile device that is well suited for office environments. It offers fast print and scan speeds, a user-friendly interface and robust security features. However, some users have pointed out that running costs can be relatively high, especially for colour printing.
If you're looking to switch from HP products, the Brother MFC-L8390CDW could be a good alternative, thanks to its comprehensive functions and compact, user-friendly design. However, it's worth checking the specific needs of your work environment and reading further reviews or test reports if necessary.
With the Brother MFC-L8390CDW printer it is possible to print using only the black toner when the colour toners are empty, but there are some limitations and steps that need to be followed.
### Black and white print mode
- The printer can be operated in "B&W Print Only" mode when one or more colour toner cartridges are empty. If the colour toner cartridges are empty, the message "B&W Print Only Replace Ink" or "B&W 1-sided Print Only Replace Ink" appears on the touchscreen.
### Steps for black and white printing
- Make sure that the message "B&W Print Only Replace Ink" or "B&W 1-sided Print Only Replace Ink" is displayed on the touchscreen.
- You can then continue the printing process by changing the print settings on your PC or directly on the printer to "Black & White" or "Greyscale".
### Important notes
- The printer stops all printing operations when a colour toner cartridge is removed and the cover is closed. It is necessary to reinsert the empty colour toner cartridges in order to use the black and white print mode.
- There is no special "Eco mode" or similar settings that would reduce the consumption of colour toner when printing in black and white.
These settings allow you to continue printing black documents with the Brother MFC-L8390CDW printer, even if the colour toner cartridges are empty.
