Description
The Brother DCP-T830DW is a high-performance 3-in-1 ink-tank printer (print / scan / copy) built for home users and small offices needing speed, reliability, and low running costs.
With ISO test speeds of 17 ipm (mono) and 16 ipm (colour), it handles typical document workloads quickly. In Eco mode, it can reach even higher throughput (e.g. 30 ppm black / 26 ppm colour in certain modes) for less demanding jobs.
One of its standout features is the inclusion of an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) (20-sheet capacity) for efficient multi-page scanning and copying. Combined with automatic duplex (two-sided) printing on plain and recycled paper, it helps reduce waste and double-sided document handling.
The DCP-T830DW provides versatile paper handling: a 150-sheet main tray an 80-sheet multi-purpose tray, and a total maximum input capacity of up to 230 sheets. The printer supports many sizes and types of media including plain, coated, glossy, envelopes, and more.
Refilling is made easier with front-accessible ink tanks and spill-resistant nozzles. The unit ships with two black ink bottles (7,500-page yield each) and colour (cyan/magenta/yellow) bottles (5,000 pages each) so you have high yields right from the start.
On the connectivity front, it supports Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n), Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet (10/100Base-TX), and USB 2.0. Mobile printing is supported via the Brother Mobile Connect app, plus compatibility with AirPrint, Mopria, etc.
Compact despite its capabilities, it has a footprint of 435 × 418 × 180 mm and weighs 9.6 kg. Noise is rated at about 57 dB(A) during operation.
Brother provides a 3-year or 50,000-page carry-in warranty (whichever comes first) for this model (subject to terms).
This model is ideal for users who need higher productivity (thanks to the ADF), faster output, and still want the advantages of ink-tank printing (low cost per page, easy refills, and consistent performance).
