Overview

Business Smart printers at Business Smart prices.

The MFC-J5720DW is the ultimate compact business inkjet. Smart features, class-leading print speeds, and wired, wireless and USB connectivity all in one A4 size network-ready printer, this model offers ultra-efficient A4 print, copy, scan and fax with the added bonus of A3 print. 

For professional-standard, high-quality print and scanning, at only a click or tap, this Business Smart all-in-one is ideal for businesses with big ideas and versatile, demanding requirements. The 6,000 x 12,000dpi image resolution delivers perfect detail and a flawless finish for a range of documents, charts, posters, plans and drawings. Perfect for even printing your own full-colour marketing materials, the MFC-J5720DW gives you and your business extra when you need it.

Print and scan to and from the cloud with an extensive range of compatible apps such as our free iPrint&Scan app, AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, as well as mobile and cloud platforms including One Drive, Evernote, Google Drive and Dropbox. Digitising your documents, retrieving scans and copies and printing directly without the need for a PC can be easily achieved at the touch of a button.

Designed to ensure ease-of-use, this model makes connecting devices and accessing apps effortless, while simple navigation is provided through the user-friendly 9.3cm colour LCD touchscreen.   

You won’t be left hanging around waiting for jobs to finish, the MFC-J5720DW delivers impressive print speeds of 22/20ipm (mono/colour) despite its compact size. And with a huge 580 sheet paper capacity, trips to the printer to refill the paper tray become less frequent so you can spend more time on the tasks that matter to your business. For extra efficiency, the 50 sheet automatic document feeder makes scanning large or multiple documents as simple as possible, with the minimum of intervention scan jobs can be left unattended to complete on their own.

The device’s rear feeder allows you to stock different paper sizes and types, making printing on envelopes, letterheaded and A3 paper possible without having to change what's in the paper tray.

Saving you money as well as time, the Business Smart range delivers the lowest running costs in its class. Cost effective performance can be supplemented with optional high-yield inks and individual ink cartridges, meaning you only need to replace the empty ones. The MFC-J5620DW’s environmentally friendly features such as automatic 2-sided print and scan can reduce unnecessary waste by up to 75%. So if you’re keeping an eye on your green credentials, waste saving print features are complemented by the machine’s smart scanning capability which ensures blank pages are skipped and only the information that you need is captured.
