Questions about Brother MFC-L8690CDW

Yes, that is possible. It also works if you want to save to individual directories on a NAS.

Yes - Removing the ink cartridges does NOT work, then the printer does not work. However, if you set the default setting of the printer driver to black and white when setting up the printer on the PC/Mac, everything is printed in black and white, even if it is in colour on the screen, so the colour toners are practically not used up.

Yes, this is easily possible after setting up Brother Web Services via a computer (Win & Mac). Once set up, the PC is no longer required. You can find the corresponding instructions for the common cloud providers at: https://download.brother.com/welcome/doc100093/cv_dcp8450cdw_ger_wcg_a.pdf

Cashback is over.

Based on feedback I got from Brother (+41 844 484 111): No, CashBack was onyl valid till 2019-12-31.

Hello IsiPisi88 The device itself does not. If you save to a connected USB stick (e.g. a pdf), OCR is not supported. But the supplied software (Brother Control Center, Paper Port or iPrint&Scan) certainly supports this or possibly also when saving via the "Cloud" (Scan to Server = must be activated, i.e. Internet FAX Installation Tool) - but I'm not sure about this. Ultimately, it depends on the application (software). The user manuals usually provide certainty: https://support.brother.com/g/b/manualtop.aspx?c=ch&lang=de&prod=mfcl8690cdw_eu_as Greetings

No. That would be a Trade-In. Cashback is just like the name implies a refund, where you usually buy the product at the shown price, then after receiving the product, you register it at the manufacturer's promotional website within a certain time period and after verification you get the money transferred directly to your bank account. -> https://www.brother.ch/de-ch/cashback/anleitung-cashback

Yes, but only via a single-sheet feeder that folds out.

The price shown is without deduction of the cashback, as this is via the manufacturer.

Hello Adrianbalzer Max. 3xLT-330CL (=3x250 sheets + standard drawer 250 sheets) are possible. With the MFC-L8900CDW + MFC-L9570CDW the larger additional trays LT-340CL (500 sheets) are also possible, but max. 2 pcs. But to answer your question: I would not put the additional trays on top, but generally several are possible ;-) Greetings

Hello Martin Yes, 4 toners (1x black = BK, 1x cyan, 1x magenta, 1x yellow) are included when you buy the machine, see "Specifications" - "Scope of delivery". The included toner cartridges BK: approx. 3'000 pages + CMY approx. 1'800 pages) are fully filled and correspond to the standard toner TN-421 - approx. 3'000 pages black. 1'800 pages CMY :-) :-) :-) Optionally, even larger "Jumbo Toners" are available for "frequent printers" :-) See also here under "Technical Data": https://www.brother.ch/de-ch/drucker/all-in-one-laserdrucker/mfc-l8690cdw Greetings

The cashback can be claimed from Brother until 30 Oct 2019.

Hello Anonymous Yes, the Control Center 4 software is available on the CD and is installed on the (Windows) PC during the complete installation. Greetings

Hello Anonymous Please contact the manufacturer/Brother or the issuer of the extended warranty directly. According to Brother's warranty policy: https://www.brother.ch/-/media/files/bsw/service/garantie-bring-in/brother-standartgarantiedever20.ashx?la=de-ch&hash=F5B3BEE0FE5BC3C657A58E589D1EC6E7F3D8125E, defects caused by the use of compatible toner are excluded from the warranty. On Site at Brother = Assisto, for terms see here: https://www.brother.ch/-/media/files/bsw/service/assisto/brother-assistodever20.ashx?la=de-ch&hash=65B887E00AE01718E5332607DB167408CF2FA2A8, see section: "Environmental conditions": The customer is responsible for the use of consumables in the equipment. Services caused by consumables not approved by the manufacturer will be charged at Brother's standard rates. Greetings

Hello Kathrin Yes, the TN-241x or TN-245x only fit the following devices: HL-3140CDN, HL-3150CDN, HL-3170CDW, DCP-9015CDW, DCP-9020CDW, MFC-9140CDN, MFC-9330CDW, MFC-9340CDW and not in these. The above-mentioned devices are gradually being replaced by a new series with DR-243CL consumables or TN-243x/TN-247x toner. This means that some of the models listed above are on "clearance" and can be found quite "cheaply". Greetings

Cashback is never "already included". The device is purchased at the stated price, and then the cashback amount is requested from the manufacturer and transferred to your account by the manufacturer if the conditions are met. (Which can take a few weeks).

No. This one uses TN-421 or TN-423 toner. The MFC-9340CDW uses TN-241 or TN-245 toner. You find the right cartridges normally on the product page of each printer under Accessories -> Toners

Hello Roger Yes, that is possible. The machine has an original glass up to size LGL/LTR - i.e. larger than A4. The scanner comes to light when you lift the upper white part (document feeder). Greetings

Voilà: Brother Zusatzschacht LT-330CL / 250 Blatt Cabinet: Brother Unterschrank L8000/9000er Serie

Many ellipsis do not make a question :) But yes, CHF 423 - CHF 150 = CHF 273 so the effective cost is CHF 273, just don't forget to fill in the cashback form https://www.brother.ch/cashback

The customer service [1] can certainly help you with this question better than the community [2]. It may well be due to the weight (27.9 kg). [1] https://www.digitec.ch/de/Information/ContactInformation [2] "Questions, answers and discussions should explicitly refer to the products and their function. General questions about your own orders, delivery times or prices should be asked directly to our customer service." https://www.digitec.ch/de/Wiki/4490

Yes, it works perfectly. I just tested it and it worked without any problems.

Check the product page. There, directly between "Services" and "Availability", you will find the entry "With free additional product" with all the information you need.

It would currently be 265 after deducting the cashback. However, it is important to note that the cashback must be claimed from the manufacturer.
