Product Description

Brother Business Smart Pro-Series MFC-J6520DW

The MFC-J6520DW helps increase business productivity with fastest in class print speeds1, low cost duplex (2-sided) printing, 11" x 17" print/copy/scan/fax, up to 250-sheet paper capacity, and a suite of innovative cloud apps2.

Accept no compromise. The MFC-J6520DW delivers the Ultimate Combination of business features. Save time by loading up to 35 sheets into the automatic document feeder. 11" x 17" scan glass handles ledger size documents with ease. 2.7" TouchScreen Display makes navigating machine functionality a snap. Multiple options to print from almost any smartphone or tablet. Outline & Scan is just one of the innovative cloud apps installed on the MFC-J6520DW. Innovative Landscape Print Technology helps reduce the overall footprint of the MFC-J6520DW.

Businesses looking for a hard-working color inkjet all-in-one shouldn’t have to make compromises. That’s why Brother is proud to offer the MFC-J6520DW, part of our Business Smart Pro Series. It provides the Ultimate Combination for business: a high-end, business-quality feature set, completely intuitive operation, and increased productivity. The MFC-J6520DW also provides low-cost printing, thanks to the availability of Super High Yield Replacement Ink Cartridges3 that print approximately 2,400 black pages and 1,200 color pages.

Fastest in class print speed means you won't waste time waiting for your documents to print

The MFC-J6520DW boasts fastest in class print speed1, so you’ll get your documents when you need them at up to 35 ppm color or 27 ppm black4. Plus you’ll enjoy the added convenience of duplex (2-sided) ledger printing, as well as 11” x 17” copy/scan/fax.

Full 11” x 17” capability is an ideal feature for businesses that work with larger documents

The MFC-J6520DW prints, copies, scans and faxes ledger size documents with ease. Whether you’re using the machine’s 11” x 17” scan glass, printing from the dual paper trays, or copying, scanning or faxing from the up to 35 sheet automatic document feeder, you’ll appreciate just how simple it is to produce and share oversized documents.

Brother makes setting up and using the MFC-J6520DW quick and easy

When you remove your MFC-J6520DW from the box, you’ll discover that connecting to a wireless network couldn’t be easier, thanks to the wireless assistant that completely walks you through set up. It’s so simple - you don’t need a USB cable, and you won’t even need to know your wireless network password. Share the machine with others on a network using 802.11 b/g/n or wired Ethernet networking, or connect to a single computer using a USB cable3 via Hi-Speed USB port. Using the machine is equally easy. The simplified control panel on the 2.7” TouchScreen Display makes it simple and intuitive to navigate menus, change settings, and create custom shortcuts for frequently used settings, and the accompanying TouchPanel only displays the keys you need.

Print wirelessly from your mobile device using, Airprint, Wi-Fi Direct and more

The MFC-J6520DW gives you a full menu of choices for connecting to Apple Android, Kindle Fire, Windows Phone, or Blackberry mobile devices. It supports wireless printing from your mobile device via5: AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Brother iPrint & Scan, Cortado Workplace and Wi-Fi Direct, that allows you to print wirelessly from PC or mobile devices without the need for a router.

Brother Cloud Apps and Web Connect interface add a new dimension of functionality to your inkjet all-in-one

The MFC-J6520DW comes with a suite of pre-installed, innovative Brother Cloud Apps2 that you access directly from the machine’s TouchScreen Display. You’ll be amazed by the functionality of these all-new exclusive document management and sharing apps. The Brother Cloud Apps suite is expandable, and Brother is developing new apps that will become available for download as they are finished. The initial line-up of apps includes:

  • Outline & Copy: This app lets you make a physical copy of only selected portions of an existing hard copy document.
  • Outline & Scan: This app enables you to select parts of a physical document and scan just those parts into a digital file on a transparent background.
  • Outline & Remove: This app lets you remove selected portions of a hard copy document, then produces a physical copy of the remaining information.
  • NoteScan: This app prints a note-taking template from the cloud, in your choice of 1, 2, 4, or 8 pages on a single sheet of letter-sized paper. Once the sheet is filled with notes, scan it using NoteScan and the pages will be automatically separated and converted into a series of JPEGs for easy storage or sharing.
  • Brother Creative Center Templates: Print commonly-used business documents like calendars, notetaking forms, signage, as well as fun seasonal documents directly from your TouchScreen Display.

You can also access popular web services directly from your internet-connected MFC-J6520DW from the TouchScreen Display using the Web Connect6 interface. Upload to or download from specific web services without using a computer. Access Facebook, Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Evernote, Google Drive, Box, Skydrive and Dropbox.

Exclusive Landscape Print Technology is Brother innovation with our customers in mind

While developing the MFC-J6520DW, Brother sought to create a product that would help eliminate the need for compromising on features or design. This led us to introduce our innovative Landscape Print Technology, which stores and feeds paper into the machine in landscape orientation. This unique, space-saving technology allows Brother to deliver the Ultimate Combination of features for business in a machine with a sleek design in a smaller footprint.

At your side

At Brother, our goal is to provide you with printers and all-in-ones that you can depend on to consistently deliver high performance, reliability, and value for your business.

Customers have mixed opinions about the scanning quality of the printer. Some mention that it scans great, and produces clear images. However, others say that the scanner takes forever, and is not ideal if you scan a lot. It also does not do full double-sided scanning from the tray, and does not scan front and back.

Document scanner not images
Scans with subtle detail of value or color loose about 30% of information. So trying to scan a photo or drawing yields unsatisfactory results. After much time spent playing with controls and calling for help I was told it does not have the capability - it isn't the software its the hardware. It turns out this is for scanning black and white. I've added a photo so you can see - it isn't that the image is unrecognizable, it just isn't a quality scan. (From left to right - BW scan, Color scan, original)Trying to decide if it deserves 2 or 3 because at lease I can print 11x17 if the image is generated from another source and not scanned into it. Previous reviews were from artists who used it so I thought it would work for me. It doesn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good buy!

So far, I really like it! It's quite a bit larger than I expected. I just got it set up a few days ago. Chicken that I am, I asked a friend to help me before I even took it out of the box. It holds more paper in one filling than any other printer I've owned, Best part is that I can fast-print multiple 2-sided copies. It would work very well for anyone with a small office. It also functions as a fax, but I don't have a land line phone, so I don't use that feature. My main reason for wanting this particular model is that I make up games and puzzles for kids that I work with, and this works fast and efficiently with color or black only. I don't have to stand there and keep feeding and/or turning sheets over one at a time and wait for each one to print out before going to the next one. Patience has never been one of my few virtues!!!

The price is really good at Amazon, too. So if you're in the market, you may want to look into this model. BTW, a friend of mine who owns a computer repair business recommended the Brother brand as having fewer problems than some others.

Works well, I like the 11x17 printing. Noisier than the HP8600 we had, but the 8600 would intermittently put stripes down the page on faxes and scans. The brother at least is consistent in its output . XXL ink is not readily available at local stores

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money

I had taken others advice when shopping for a new printer, and thought this model would be a good fit. I am a costume designer and need something that can scan/print drawings and other information to the director, shops etc.

Unfortunately this was a huge waste of time and money. The scan quality if terrible. Images scan too light and the color is way off, often reading more red / yellow. Print quality is not much better, images are washed out and barely appear on the page. I tried the usual fixes (cleaning the print heads, and trying to correct alignment issues, but nothing worked.)

The ONLY PRO to this was the fast and easy set up with wireless. I had it unboxed and running (albeit not very well) within 30 minutes.

Thankfully I have Prime and was able to return this product no hassles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value for 11x17 print/scan
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2013

This is a fairly well engineered printer/scanner, both hardware and software. Because this device is new on the market (Oct 2013), there isn't any info out there yet and I had to dig through the marketing brochures and play the "spot the difference" game to decide between the 3 sibling models: this MFC-J6520dw, the MFC-J6720dw, and the MFC-J6920dw. Unfortunately Brother did not provide a nice concise "these are the differences" summary so I will do that to perhaps save you the trouble. I have not used the 6720 or 6920 so this is just based on my use of the 6520 and research of Brother's documentation of the others. As best as I can determine the 3 models are all quite similar with the noted differences:

MFC-J6520DW
* Scans up to 11x17 with both ADF and glass. For scanning thick items like books, the lid hinge raises up. ADF paper width slider only goes as narrow as 5.8", so this is not good for things like receipts. You would have to scan small items on the glass. But, the auto page size detection does not work at all for pages/receipts with a white background.
* Scans only one side of the document. The software has a checkbox to allow you to scan "continuously" meaning you can scan multiple documents and/or multiple sides of the documents manually (prompts for "Continue" or "Finish" after each page) and they will be collated into one PDF.
* There are nice scan options such as scan a 11x17 and turn it into 2 8.5x11 pages, scan 2 8.5x11 pages into one 11x17 page, scan into a secure PDF, OCR, .xps documents.
* Prints on both sides nicely (prints one side, sucks the paper back up, and prints the other side)
* The manual paper feed in the back for printing can accept most any size paper but you can only insert one page at a time (not a stack). When feeding from manual feed, no matter how carefully you adjust the guides, things often don't print straight or in precisely the correct location. I have wasted a few sheets of labels because of this. Envelopes cannot print the return address closer than one inch from the left edge (looks weird that far in). When manually feeding things, especially envelopes, it often doesn't detect that you inserted one. You have to repeatedly jam the envelope in and press ok on the touch screen. Sometimes it takes a few tries. All these manual feed issues deduct one star.
* When printing a stack of envelopes from the paper tray rather than the manual feed, it jams about once every 10 envelopes.
* Software and drivers installed on Windows 8.1 64 bit with no issues.
* I don't have a landline and do not plan to use faxing capability so I can't comment on that.
--------------------------------------
MFC-J6720DW
* Same as 6520 but adds a 2nd paper tray. This could be useful if you want more paper capacity or 2 sizes of paper available without using the manual feed.
--------------------------------------
MFC-J6920DW
* Same as 6720 but adds a bigger screen (3.7" vs 2.7"), Near Field Communication for interaction with mobile phones (though not many phones have NFC yet), and single pass scanning of both sides of the document at once. I failed to notice the single-pass capability was only for the 6920. Because I will do a lot more scanning than printing, knowing this would have made me choose the 6920. This is where Brother could have sold me a higher model with a simple comparison chart.
--------------------------------------
It took a while (about an hour) to meticulously follow the setup steps, learn how it works and get everything up and running. The instructions are top notch.

The feet of the printer will sit on top of a table, night stand, etc with a surface at least 13" x 19" (note though the upper portion of the device is larger than this).

External physical durability looks to be as expected at this price point- some of the plastic parts (especially paper tray, paper catch extension, ADF lid) could break with abuse from a clumsy and/or impatient person, and you certainly wouldn't want this unit sitting within reach of a 3-year old wild child.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Great printer, easy set up

- Great printer, easy set up, all technologies work.
- No bloatware drivers to install on your PC.
- Free app for smartphones (printing/scanning).
- Scan sends output via FTP (or windows network) to a network drive with no issues.

I only had HP printers before and they are awful at writing software/drivers for their products. So far everything works like I want it to. Scanned images get directly sent to my network drive and become available to anyone on my network.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good printer. Has some issues a couple months in.
Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2017

Summary: A fast office work horse for a decent price. One of the better printers I have owned.

Some notes:

This printer prints very fast, is easy to set up and does a decent quality print.

The Brother app on my PC tells me the scanner is not connected, but the windows scan/fax application will scan, so I don't know what that is all about.

The paper tray feels like it does not seat properly, I recall when I first set the printer up the tray would give a slight satisfying 'click' when slid into place. Now the tray seems to stop a couple millimeters short with a slight spring backwards, no click.

The printer makes a loud scuffy noise when feeding paper, like its having trouble gripping a page to feed in. It feed successfully but it sounds like it is struggling.

Some pages print a mysterious black bar on the right side of the page, some times its just a blank space of matching geometry to the black bar. This is not evident on the pdf before print so I am quite sure its a problem with the printer.

I am concerned the paper tray issues are going to become a major problem and potentially render the unit unusable. I will update my review as time goes on.

Update June 6, 2019: The printer still works great, the paper tray issue turned out to be a little plastic ink cartridge cap that had found its way inside. The printer still prints fast and has no problems at all, very reliable. I'm updating my review to 5 stars as this is now the best printer I have ever owned.

2.0 out of 5 stars Really wanted to love this machine... until I started using it and found faults.
Reviewed in Canada on March 19, 2015

I really wanted to love this machine - the design is sleek, multi-functional without occupying too much space - until I started using it daily. As a student, I need to print off assignments and scan notes daily. For the first few days, everything works well with single sided printing. However, as soon as I started duplex printing, I noticed there are things not up to par.

Usually connected via network, the machine would disconnect itself from the network whenever I am in the process of duplex printing. Error would appear on the printer screen and my documents would only be half printed with half a page blanks. I would have to turn off the machine and turn it back on in order for me to submit the work again. Needless to say what was half printed before would need to go into recycling bins.

In addition, the machine produces really sharp voice from time to time. It sounds like a kettle's whistle that is kept on the boil for a prolonged period of time. Sometimes it's when I am performing a print-job, and other times when the machine is doing its own printer head maintenance.

Really like the large scanning surface. Scanner works very well but the printing feature is not as friendly. The printer keeps trying to engage and clear the manual feed tray. Patience is definitely needed to work the printing feature. However, once the printing starts it works well and fast.

Works great and love that the ink is inexpensive. Was paying so much for ink before this printer. Print quality is not high but it serves my purpose well and is so much cheaper. So glad I purchased this printer.
