![]() ![]() The Brother printed our mixed text and color graphics document significantly faster than the category average of 2 minutes and 35 seconds (or 2.7 ppm), printing six pages in a brisk 1 minute and 12 seconds (or 4.4 ppm). This gives the MFC-805DW a bare-bones feel, lacking the elegance of a large, color touch screen, although the physical buttons are arguably more reliable than many touch screen's virtual buttons. The color display is small, at 1.8 inches, and is not a touch screen. It hinges upward about 45 degrees to ease operation. The control panel offers many dedicated buttons, 11 in all, plus a four-way control and a 10-key pad. It weighs just under 20 pounds, so it's easy to move. ![]() ![]() The Brother MFC-J805DW all-in-one is on the petite side, measuring 17.1 x 13.4 x 7.7 inches.

It's paper handling is modest: The automatic document feeder (ADF) holds just 20 pages, the output tray has a capacity of 50 sheets and the paper tray holds a maximum of 150 sheets. This all-in-one is not built for heavy office use, however, nor is it particularly adept at photo printing.
