With automatic 2-sided printing and scanning, a 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and a convenient 8.8cm (3.5-inch) colour touchscreen, the MFC-L5710DW is built to streamline everyday office workflows while supporting demanding print volumes.

Professional Performance for Busy Workgroups

The Brother MFC-L5710DW is designed for professional environments where productivity and reliability matter. With print speeds of up to 48ppm A4, this multifunction printer can quickly process large reports, invoices, contracts and other business documents.

Fast 48ppm A4 Mono Printing

With print speeds of up to 48 pages per minute on A4, the MFC-L5710DW is considerably better suited to demanding office workloads than entry-level desktop laser multifunction printers.

Whether printing a single invoice or a large multi-page business report, its fast monochrome engine helps keep waiting times to a minimum and allows multiple users to share the device efficiently.

Automatic 2-Sided Printing & Scanning

The MFC-L5710DW doesn't just offer automatic duplex printing — it also supports automatic 2-sided scanning through the ADF.

Duplex scanning reaches up to approximately 56 images per minute in monochrome and 40 images per minute in colour, making it particularly useful for businesses that regularly digitise double-sided contracts, invoices, records and other documents.

This can significantly reduce the time required to process multi-page, double-sided originals compared with multifunction printers that only offer single-sided ADF scanning.

50-Sheet Automatic Document Feeder

The integrated 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder allows users to scan, copy or fax multi-page documents without placing every sheet individually on the scanner glass.

Combined with automatic duplex scanning, this makes the MFC-L5710DW a strong choice for document-intensive workplaces such as accounting practices, professional offices, medical administration, education and general business environments.

8.8cm Colour Touchscreen

A large 8.8cm (3.5-inch) colour touchscreen provides convenient access to print, scan, copy and fax functions.

The interface can be customised with frequently used shortcuts, helping teams simplify repetitive workflows and access commonly used functions quickly.

Flexible Wired & Wireless Connectivity

The Brother MFC-L5710DW offers comprehensive connectivity for modern business environments:

• Gigabit Ethernet 10Base-T / 100Base-TX / 1000Base-T
• Dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi
• Wi-Fi Direct
• Hi-Speed USB 2.0

This flexibility makes it equally suitable as a centrally shared wired network printer or as part of a wireless office environment.

Mobile & Cloud Printing

The MFC-L5710DW supports modern mobile and cloud-based workflows, including Brother Mobile Connect, Apple AirPrint and Mopria.

Supported Brother web connectivity also enables compatible cloud workflows involving services such as OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox, helping teams digitise and share documents more efficiently.

Expandable Paper Handling

Standard paper handling includes a 250-sheet main paper tray plus a versatile 100-sheet multipurpose tray. The multipurpose tray supports heavier media up to 230gsm, making it useful for envelopes, labels and other specialist office media.

For organisations with higher print volumes, optional LT-5505 250-sheet and LT-6505 520-sheet paper trays can be added. With optional trays installed, total paper input can be expanded to as much as 1,390 sheets.

Australian TN3605 Toner Family

The Australian Brother MFC-L5710DW uses the Brother TN3605 toner family, giving businesses a choice of toner capacities depending on their monthly print volume:

• Brother TN3605 – Standard Yield – up to 3,000 pages
• Brother TN3605XL – High Yield – up to 6,000 pages
• Brother TN3605XXL – Super High Yield – up to 11,000 pages
• Brother DR3605 – Separate Drum Unit

Toner yields are based on ISO/IEC 19752. For businesses with substantial print volumes, the 11,000-page TN3605XXL can reduce the frequency of toner replacements and help simplify consumables management.

Why Choose the Brother MFC-L5710DW?
