Low consumption technology
Our innovative Planar Heating Element (PHE) technology improves thermal efficiency within the device, minimizing the energy required before printing.
This new technology offers a 27.8% reduction in typical electricity consumption (TEC), leading to a shorter warm-up time, allowing the first page out (from standby mode) to be printed in half the time.
Compact and expertly designed
Ideal for under-counter, small office or home office use, each component has been optimized to reduce the overall size of the device, making it easy to install in small spaces. Exceptional quality without compromising performance
Designed to last
The MFC-L2980DW is built to last, with minimal maintenance. Expertly designed to be robust and durable, to support the busiest of jobs. And with high-yield toners, you can print for longer, without stopping.
Ready to integrate solutions
Automate workflows and improve business processes and security with print management solutions. Brother offers a suite of document management and workflow solutions that can be included with the MFC-L2980DW to provide additional professional features to enhance business processes.
