Automatic toner notifications

There is nothing worse than sending a document to the printer only to find the toner is low or has run out. The MFC-L2713DW can be configured to send low toner alerts to users. The printer also includes the provision to send printer usage reports to managers on a predefined basis. This can help to monitor individual printer use.

Inkjet printers also have trouble printing on transparencies and other types of specialty paper, whereas most laser printers can print on just about any type of paper that you throw at them. Laser printers are capable of producing high-quality text and graphics at high speeds, making them the office multifunction printer of choice for most businesses. 

Inkjet printers are best suited for personal use since they are not as fast or reliable as most laser printers. However, inkjet printers are much cheaper to buy and operate in the long run, so they are a good option for people who don't do a lot of printing.
