Brother MFC-J1170DW Overview

Build and Physical Features

The beautiful yet sturdy Brother MFC-J1170DW is meticulously designed with a robust construction to meet your needs for busy printing. Dark theme combined with semi-gloss finish create an elegant and expensive look—even if it seems more expensive than its actual price.

Featuring a 2.7” color touchscreen, it provides you with intuitive navigation. Setting up your printer and reading status made it easier with this display. Measuring 6.8” x 15.7” x 13.5” (HWD) and weighing 16.4 pounds, it doesn’t require extra space in your home office.

This printer’s control panel combines LCD display and functional buttons. With an easy-to-read screen and simple buttons, setting up and navigating this model becomes a lot easier.

Printer Specs

A powerful print performance comes from inkjet technology. When combined with 1200 x 600 dpi print resolution, you can expect high quality output for a variety of print tasks. Tackling business documents or presentations comes simple with just a press of a button.

The MFC-J1170DW manages to print up to 17 ppm for black ISO and 16.5 ppm for color ISO. This model wins the game when compared to its counterparts the Epson WorkForce WF-2850.

Get rid of tedious manual duplexing, thanks to ADF that allows automatic duplex printing. With this functionality, you can work on two-sided documents without flipping pages manually.

Scanner Specs

Full-featured scanner offers powerful performance to transform your documents into digital files. Not only does it support multiple scan file formats—JPEG, PDF, TIFF, and PNG, it also has a number of options for “Scan To”. You can either scan to cloud, local drive, or email.

The B/W and color scanner is rated at 17 images per minute for black and 7 pages per minute for color. Duplex scanning is not supported in the Brother MFC-J1170DW. More advanced scanning features include blank page skip and continuous scan.

Copier Specs

A powerful copier lets you handle documents effortlessly. Duplicating either B/W or color document comes simple and easy though it doesn’t support duplex copy. Featuring copy resolution up to 1200 x 600 dpi, you can expect clear documents and photos.

The copier is able to give you up to 13 ppm and 10.5 ppm for black ISO and color ISO. It highlights the poster function that allows you to copy posters easily. Reduction and enlargement come standard in this model.

Paper & Media Handling

Made to meet your office printing needs, the Brother MFC-J1170DW is packed with a 150-sheed input paper cassette. This generous capacity promotes efficient refilling so that you can focus on printing or copying tasks. A 20-sheet ADF is also added to take your productivity to another level.

This model supports limited media types, which means you have fewer options to print on. Unlike most of its rivals that support brochures, labels, and so forth, it is only compatible with glossy paper, plain paper, and recycled paper.

Though it only supports a few types of paper, it gives you more options for paper sizes. Standard input cassette allows you to load papers with various sizes, including Letter, A4, A6, Envelope, 4” x 6”, 3.5’ x 5”, 8” x 10”, and many more.

Brother MFC-J1170DW Interface

Multiple connectivity options let you connect with your favorite way. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and Ethernet provide you with a strong wired connection. That means you can enjoy a seamless printing experience with fewer issues.

And if you prefer wireless connections, the Brother MFC-J1170DW offers dual-band Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. NFC is also available, making it possible to connect the printer to your mobile device with just a touch.

Mobile Printing

Need some work freedom? This product supports mobile printing capability with which you can print and manage the printer literally from anywhere. It is compatible with Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and Brother Mobile Connect that redefine your printing time.

Cloud Services improve your experience with the printer. There are several services provided, including Google Drive, OneNote, Evernote, OneDrive for Business, and DropBox for Business.

Ink & Cartridges

The Brother MFC-J1170DW is compatible with either standard-yield and high-yield consumables. It uses four individual ink cartridges consisting of Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.

When it comes to replacement, you can either buy LC401 standard yield or LC401XL high yield. While standard yield gives you about 200 pages, high yield lets you print up to 500 pages.

System Requirements

Quite similar to its predecessors, the Brother MFC-J1170DW supports Windows and Mac OS. It requires at least Windows 7 or MacOS 10.14 version to run well on your computer. Internet connection required to make the most of its performance.
