The printer is a basic one.
It has no scanner and copier, let alone a fax unit.
It just prints in color with automatic double-sided printing support.
Output quality and print speed are not impressive, but they are good enough for the price.
It can print at 600 x 600 dpi or 600 x 2400 dpi.
Wired and wireless networks are both supported.
Better yet, its support for Wi-Fi Direct allows you to print from your mobile gear.
The mode kicks in automatically after a certain period of idle time.
After the printer goes into the mode, it will use less than one watt.
The convenience of a touchscreen is a luxury that you wont be able to enjoy from the Brother HL-3170CDW.
Text, photo, and graphics quality are subpar but not the worst.
