Brother MFC-J4510dw Review: First Look

Build and Design

The Brother MFC-J4510dw is definitely slimmer than previous generations but I'm not positive its footprint is 35 percent less than competitor's models. I'm going to do some research on the footprint of all-in-ones in the same class and share it in our full review. For the record, the MFC-J4510dw comes in at 19 x 11 x 7 inches in non-use and weighs 20 lbs. without consumables.

The design is interesting with a mixture of gray and black paneling centered around the touch control panel with a 3.7-inch touchscreen. Adjacent to the control panel is the built-in memory card reader and front side USB port, hidden behind a small panel.

While it may not look like it at first glance due to the flat top and thin form factor, the MFC-J4510dw does offer a 20-sheet ADF for scanning, copying and faxing multi-page documents quickly and easily. The 8.5 x 11.7 inch flatbed scanner is located directly beneath the ADF.

The MFC-J4510dw offers customers the ability to print documents and images up to 11 x 17 inches thanks to a single sheet rear fold out tray found on the back of the device. The 150-sheet paper tray found on the front of the device can accommodate media up to 8.5 x 11 inches.

I love that manufacturers are starting to use a front loading ink system with Brother being one of the first to offer this easy to use feature on their all-in-one inkjets. The MFC-J4510dw uses four LC103 ink cartridges (CMYK) and offers high yield and super high yield ink replacements.

You will find all the connections (minus the attached power cord) by lifting up at the middle of the MFC-J4510dw. On the back of the device you'll find the previously mentioned single sheet 11 x 17 inch rear tray and access to the paper path.
