Quotes from CNET Reviews “The Xerox Phaser 6115MFP/N has the potential to be a great printer, but it falls short in the end….Stock up on patience before using this multifunction laser printer.” “Our quibbles with the Brother MFC-9940CN pale in comparison to the many things we like about it, chiefly its sublime combination of fast speeds with high-quality output.”
Brother MFC-9940CN Printer Fewer cons Costs less to purchase and maintain Easier to use Prints and copies faster Better quality of copies Winner?
