Why Brother MFC-L8690CDW Impedes Your Business Progress

The Brother MFC-L8690CDW, once a dependable choice for office faxing, has become an anchor for businesses reliant on outdated technology. Its frequent breakdowns, sluggish transmission speeds (often capped at 14.4kbps), and dependence on traditional phone lines contribute to operational delays. Keeping this archaic system in service incurs high costs for consumables like thermal paper and ink, while ongoing repairs sap valuable IT resources. Additionally, its limited mobile access confines employees to their desks, severely restricting the modern flexibility required in today's fast-paced workplaces.

Challenges of managing this legacy equipment include:

Cumbersome devices

Require substantial space and power supply.


Ongoing maintenance costs

Involves costly ink refills, servicing, and repair contracts.


Complex installation

Setup and configuration often result in significant downtime.


Outdated functionality

Limited capabilities without modern updates or integrations.
