The MFC-665CW truly defines the term 'all-in-one'. Besides the mandatory printer/scanner/copier capability that the category demands, it's also a fully functional fax machine. If that's not good enough, it also has support for all kinds of memory cards, PictBridge printing, network printing capability and support for wireless printing. Yep, the 'Bro' has it all covered.
But to start from the top, the MFC-665CW is an all-in-one solution aimed at the SOHO segment, where the printing requirements vary from quick documents to high quality brochure and presentation printing. Along with faxing capabilities it also incorporates a standard telephone receiver, so users can have practically all their office requirements met by a single machine. Oh, and there's also speaker phone built right in.
As daunting as a machine like this may sound, the Brother MFC-665CW is pretty compact when you consider its capabilities. At 468 x 370 x 180 mm it does take up some amount of your desk space, but it lies low thanks to its small height.
The interface is absolutely complete, with independent buttons to perform every function you desire, saving you the task of memorizing a series of button presses to perform anything out of the ordinary. There's a 2.5 inch display with tilt function that gives you continuous information about the activity you're performing on the machine.
The 802.11b/g wireless printing capability would really help cut the cable clutter around the office. I suspect this would be one of the biggest selling points of the MFC-665CW.
I personally find the overall design and build of the MFC-665CW just about perfect. Sure, a smaller footprint would be great, but considering the space used for the flatbed scanner and the comprehensive button layout, the space is justified.
