Brother DCP-B7650DW

Manufacturer: Brother

The Brother DCP-B7650DW is a monochrome laser multifunction printer designed for print, copy, and scan tasks in office environments. It supports automatic duplex printing and comes equipped with an Automatic Document Feeder and a flatbed scanner, making it a practical choice for handling multi-page documents. The 2.7-inch touchscreen and dedicated smartphone app add a degree of convenience for day-to-day operation, and the printer carries a recommended monthly print volume of 2,500 pages with a duty cycle of 35,000 pages.

Print output reaches 34 pages per minute in black at a resolution of 2400 x 600 dpi, with a first copy out time of 8.5 seconds and 256MB of onboard memory. The input tray holds 250 sheets with a 100-sheet output capacity, and scanning tops out at 1200 x 1200 dpi optical resolution with duplex scanning supported. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 4, Ethernet, Wi-Fi Direct, a single USB port, and support for AirPrint and Mopria, while Bluetooth, NFC, and an external memory slot are absent. The unit weighs 12 kg and generates up to 49 dB of audible noise during operation.

Pros
  • Automatic duplex printing and duplex scanning are both supported, allowing two-sided document handling in both workflows without manual intervention
  • The Automatic Document Feeder enables hands-free multi-page copying and scanning, reducing the need for repeated manual feeding
  • Connectivity is broad for an office printer, covering Wi-Fi 4, Ethernet, USB, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, and Mopria for wired, wireless, and mobile printing scenarios
  • A print speed of 34 pages per minute with a first copy out time of 8.5 seconds keeps output moving at a steady pace for office document volumes
  • The 2.7-inch touchscreen and dedicated smartphone app provide both local and remote control options for day-to-day operation
  • A maximum duty cycle of 35,000 pages per month gives the device headroom well above the recommended monthly volume of 2,500 pages
Cons
  • Color printing is not supported, limiting output to monochrome documents only
  • Scan-to-PDF and Auto Scan Mode are both absent, reducing the convenience of the scanning workflow
  • No Bluetooth or NFC is available, restricting short-range wireless connection options
  • Borderless printing is not supported, which limits the range of print formats the device can handle
  • There is no external memory slot, so direct printing from or scanning to a USB drive or memory card is not possible
  • The single input tray with a 250-sheet capacity may require frequent refilling in higher-volume office environments
Who is this for?

The Brother DCP-B7650DW is well-suited to small or medium office environments that handle a steady flow of monochrome document printing, copying, and scanning. With automatic duplex printing and duplex scanning both supported, teams that regularly process multi-page reports or contracts will find the workflow straightforward and efficient. The combination of an Automatic Document Feeder, AirPrint, Mopria, and Wi-Fi Direct support also makes it a practical fit for mixed-device offices where staff print from both computers and mobile devices without needing wired connections.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need to produce color output will find this printer unsuitable, as it is strictly monochrome — any workflow involving color documents, marketing materials, or graphics requires a different device entirely. Those who rely on scan-to-PDF workflows or Auto Scan Mode will also encounter limitations, as neither feature is available. Additionally, environments with consistently high monthly print volumes exceeding the recommended 2,500 pages will be pushing the device beyond its intended operating range, and the single 250-sheet input tray means frequent paper reloading in busier settings.

Final Verdict

The Brother DCP-B7650DW is a focused monochrome laser multifunction printer that delivers on the core needs of a small to medium office — 34 pages per minute, automatic duplex printing and scanning, an Automatic Document Feeder, and a broad wireless connectivity suite covering Wi-Fi, Ethernet, AirPrint, Mopria, and Wi-Fi Direct. Its 35,000-page duty cycle and 2,500-page recommended monthly volume make it a reliable fit for moderate document workloads. The absence of color printing, scan-to-PDF, and a second input tray means it is not a universal solution, but for teams whose daily output is predominantly monochrome documents, the DCP-B7650DW offers a well-rounded and practically equipped option within its category.
