Brother DCP 185C Color MFC Printer

The Brother DCP-185C is an older color inkjet multifunction printer (MFP) that provides printing, scanning, and copying capabilities. Here are some key features and specifications of the Brother DCP-185C:

Print Speed: The DCP-185C can print color and black-and-white documents at varying speeds, typically around 20-25 pages per minute for monochrome and color prints.

Print Resolution: It offers a maximum print resolution of up to 6000 x 1200 dpi, which can provide decent print quality for text and graphics.

Inkjet Technology: This printer uses inkjet technology to produce prints, which means it utilizes ink cartridges for printing.

Flatbed Scanner: The DCP-185C has a flatbed scanner for scanning documents and photos. However, it lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF) for multi-page scanning.

Memory Card Slots: It features built-in memory card slots, which allow you to print directly from memory cards without the need for a computer.

LCD Display: The printer often comes with a basic LCD display for navigating through settings and functions.

Paper Handling: It typically comes with a standard paper tray that can hold up to 100 sheets of paper. It might also have a manual feed slot for printing envelopes and other specialty media.

Mobile Printing: This printer may not support modern mobile printing options like Brother's iPrint&Scan or cloud-based services like Google Cloud Print or Apple AirPrint, as it's an older model.

Operating System Compatibility: The DCP-185C is usually compatible with Windows and macOS operating systems. Compatibility with newer operating systems may be limited.

Dimensions: The printer is compact and designed to fit easily into small office or home office spaces.
