Launching 'Try & Buy' Promotion

Brother International Korea Co., Ltd. (www.brother-korea.com, hereinafter Brother) announced the launch of the new monochrome laser L5000 and L6000 series, which provide high productivity and reliability in business and office environments with high volumes of printing.

The new L5000 series (product names: HL-L5100DN, MFC-L5700DN) enables high productivity in enterprise environments by maximizing printing efficiency and minimizing costs. This series supports a printing speed of up to 40 ppm and a print resolution of up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi.

With the extra-high capacity toner, you can print up to 12,000 pages, and you can select and use the toner that suits your needs from three types (TN-3428: 3,000 pages, TN-3448: 8,000 pages, TN-3478: 12,000 pages). In addition, by installing two optional trays in addition to the standard 250-sheet capacity tray and the 50-sheet capacity multi-purpose tray, you can accommodate up to 1,360 pages, which can reduce paper feeding time during high-volume printing jobs.

The highlight of this new product, the L6000 series (product names: HL-L6400DW, MFC-L6900DW), combines workflow optimization and advanced security features to ensure not only increased productivity but also data integrity. This series supports a fast printing speed of up to 50 ppm and a print resolution of up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi. You can print approximately 20,000 pages with the in-box toner provided as standard at purchase, which helps reduce operating costs, and you can select and use the toner that suits your needs from four types of toner (TN-3428: supports 3,000 pages, TN-3448: supports 8,000 pages, TN-3478: supports 12,000 pages, TN-3498: supports 20,000 pages).

In particular, the L6000 series has the advantage of achieving the best expandability through various options. By adding optional trays or tower trays (TT-4000) to the standard tray with a maximum capacity of 520 sheets, it can accommodate up to 2,080 sheets. Additionally, by assigning individual mailboxes to individual users or groups using the mailbox equipped with stacking and sorting (MX-4000, HL-L6400DW option), multiple users can share a single printer, supporting a capacity of up to 1,050 sheets.

Furthermore, this product family provides solutions that meet the high security requirements of large enterprise clients by applying various security features. In particular, it supports NFC (Near Field Communication) card reader functionality, allowing only authorized users—such as those with employee IDs—to access the printer and activate print jobs.

The newly released L5000 and L6000 series offer the advantage of integrated management of networked products through network-based management software (BR-Admin). Specifically, this network management tool allows for monitoring page counts, toner and drum status, and enables remote configuration. Furthermore, it allows for setting print capacities on a per-user basis, resulting in significant cost savings. It features an immediate notification function for printer interruptions, enabling users to respond quickly before problems occur, and provides a security solution package to firmly ensure the confidentiality of documents.

In addition, the L5000 and L6000 series provide flexible workflow solutions that can be customized for each enterprise environment. Brother products can be configured to suit each company's specific needs through Brother SSC (Special Solutions Customization), and Brother Solutions Interface (BSI) is provided as a web-based service platform that enables software developers to easily develop customized solutions.

Along with the launch of these four new products, Brother is launching a new "Try & Buy" promotion for corporate customers. This promotion is a program that allows customers to experience the top-of-the-line new "MFC-L6900DW" monochrome laser multifunction printer (with genuine consumables) and comprehensive print management services for free for up to two weeks, after which they can decide whether to purchase or rent the product. The "Try & Buy" promotion selects up to 10 companies located in Seoul and the Gyeonggi region each week to provide the service and runs until July 3, 2016.

Hiroshi Maeda, General Manager of Brother International Korea, stated, “The newly launched L5000 and L6000 series are high-spec product lines that are applicable to business environments ranging from mid-sized to large enterprises, extending beyond our existing main target of small and medium-sized businesses, armed with outstanding scalability.” He added, “Brother is carrying out various marketing activities to expand customer touchpoints, including not only the advancement of product hardware but also promotions that allow customers to try before purchasing and rental programs that reduce the financial burden of initial equipment adoption.” “We will continue to develop various programs to lower the barrier to entry for experiencing high-end products, and become the best business printing partner for companies,” he said.
