Description

Brother MFC-420CN USB is a driver software that offers a unique low-profile design, without sacrificing an up to 10-page automatic document feeder. This software is ideal for a space-conscious home environment. It combines a convenient front-loading paper tray and an Ethernet interface.

The Brother MFC-420CN USB driver software is designed to work with the Brother MFC-420CN printer. This printer is known for its high-quality printing capabilities and its ability to handle large volumes of printing tasks with ease.

One of the key features of this driver software is its low-profile design. The compact size of this software makes it ideal for use in small spaces, such as home offices or dorm rooms. Despite its small size, however, the Brother MFC-420CN USB still manages to offer an up to 10-page automatic document feeder.

This feature allows users to quickly and easily scan or copy multiple pages at once, without having to manually feed each page into the scanner or copier one at a time. This can save users time and effort when working on large projects or documents.

In addition to its automatic document feeder, the Brother MFC-420CN USB also features a convenient front-loading paper tray. This tray can hold up to 100 sheets of paper at once, making it easy for users to load and unload paper as needed.

Another key feature of this driver software is its Ethernet interface. With this interface, users can connect their printer directly to their network router or switch, allowing multiple computers on the same network to share access to the printer.

This can be especially useful in office environments where multiple people need access to the same printer. By connecting the Brother MFC-420CN USB directly to their network, users can avoid having multiple printers cluttering up their workspace.

Overall, if you're looking for a high-quality driver software that offers both convenience and functionality in one compact package, then look no further than Brother MFC-420CN USB!

    The software page mentions that the drivers were last updated on 2008-08-26. Are they still actively maintained and updated?

    John, given that the last update was in 2008, it's possible that the drivers may not receive frequent updates. However, they still work well.

    The absence of recent updates doesn't necessarily mean the drivers are outdated. If they're working fine, there's no need to worry.
