Monochrome laser all-in-one for small offices
The Brother MFC-7240 combines printing, copying, scanning and faxing in a single compact device. It produces black output at up to 21 pages per minute with a resolution of 2400 x 600 dpi. A 250-sheet paper tray handles letter or legal media while a 20-page automatic document feeder manages multi-page jobs. The unit includes 16 MB of memory and a USB 2.0 port for direct PC connection.
Sustained workload behaviour
The printer is rated for a monthly duty cycle of 10000 pages, indicating its capacity for regular daily use rather than occasional bursts. Laser print technology delivers consistent monochrome quality across long runs without the warm-up delays common to some other methods. Energy Star compliance shows the device manages power draw during extended idle periods and active printing sessions.
Build and connectivity practicalities
Weighing 24.0000 units, the chassis is solid enough to stay stable on a shared desk while remaining light enough to relocate when desk layouts change. The single USB 2.0 interface means the printer connects directly to one host computer; network sharing requires that host to stay powered on. The adjustable paper tray and compact footprint help the unit fit into tight workspaces without blocking adjacent equipment.

Questions about this item
How loud or hot does the MFC-7240 get when printing continuously at 21 ppm?
The MFC-7240 is Energy Star compliant, indicating efficient power use during its 21 ppm monochrome print runs. Laser printers typically warm up quickly; this model’s 16 MB RAM helps process jobs without prolonged heavy operation.
Which cable or interface must I already have to connect the MFC-7240 to my computer?
The MFC-7240 provides a USB 2.0 port for direct computer connection. You will need a standard USB 2.0 A-to-B cable, which is not included in the specifications.
Can the MFC-7240 scan or fax multi-page documents from my older filing system without manual feeding?
Yes, the 20-page automatic document feeder handles multi-page originals for scanning to e-mail, file, image or OCR, and for faxing, so you do not need to place each page on the glass manually.
