Key Features Explained

1. High Print Speed (23 ipm Black / 18 ipm Color):

   • This is significantly faster than the 17 ipm offered by the T530DW/T720DW models, leading to greater productivity in busy offices.

2. Large Paper Capacity & Front-Access Tray:

   • The 250-sheet paper tray is located at the front, making it easy to reload without moving the printer. The large output tray (100 sheets) reduces the need for frequent emptying.

3. Larger Automatic Document Feeder (35 sheets):

   • The 35-sheet ADF is a major upgrade for offices that frequently scan multi-page documents. It can handle larger jobs without reloading.

4. Advanced Connectivity:

   • Gigabit Ethernet: Provides a fast, stable wired network connection, essential for an office environment with multiple users.

   • Dual-Band Wi-Fi ac: Supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands for a better wireless connection.

5. Color Touchscreen Display:

   • The 2.7-inch color LCD is a significant usability improvement over the small monochrome displays on lower-end models, making status checks and menu navigation much easier.

6. Refillable Ink Tank System:

   • Maintains the core advantage of extremely low printing costs using the high-yield BC-60 series ink bottles.

Who is this printer for?

• Small to Medium-Sized Businesses: Ideal for offices with higher print volumes that need speed, reliability, and robust paper handling.

• Workgroups/Departments: The Ethernet connectivity and large input/ADF capacities make it suitable for shared use.

• Users who need faster printing and scanning of large documents than what the T530DW/T720DW models offer.

Potential Considerations / Limitations

• Ink Type: Uses dye-based inks. While vibrant for color graphics, they are not as water-resistant as pigment inks.

• No Fax: As a DCP model, it does not include fax functionality. For that, an MFC model (like the MFC-T910DW) would be needed.

• Size: It has a larger physical footprint than the more compact T-series models.

The Brother DCP-T830DW is a premium, productivity-oriented ink tank printer positioned above the T720DW/T730DW models. It is designed for environments where higher print speed, a larger ADF, and professional network connectivity are necessary. If your small business has outgrown the capabilities of the standard models, the DCP-T830DW offers the enhanced performance and features to meet those demands while maintaining the ultra-low running costs of Brother’s ink tank system.
