Brother DCP-7030 Laser MFP

The DCP-7030 is at the lower end of its triple-function range, which provides colour scanning and mono copying, as well as mono laser print.

Coloured in pale grey and cream, the device looks a bit less severe than some of the black and silver units on offer and its control panel is commendably simple. Although the copy function panel includes enlargement and reduction, contrast adjustment and up to four pages per sheet, the single row of buttons is easy to understand and the large Start and Cancel buttons at the right end of the row are hard to miss.

The 2-line by 16-character LCD display is well used, but is sorely in need of a backlight. The software bundle installs in one simple operation from a supplied CD and includes Nuance's PaperPort document management and OmniPage optical character recognition applications.

The drum and toner, although in separate cartridges, slide into place as one and you'll be able to replace the toner roughly six times, before needing to swap out the drum cartridge as well.
