The Brother DCP series (Digital Copier Printer) represents an extensive range of 3-in-1 multifunction devices that combine printer, scanner, and copier functions. The main feature of the series is the exceptional technological diversity: the series includes inkjet, laser, and LED models for both color and monochrome printing, allowing potential buyers to choose the most suitable device for home or office based on current tasks. Meanwhile, DCP devices are positioned as an affordable alternative to the more expensive MFC lineup, differing by the absence of fax.


Inkjet models in the DCP series use either a cartridge system or a built-in CISS (in DCP-T models) and are designed for users who value high-quality color printing of documents and photos with relatively low volumes. Laser and LED DCP models provide high print speeds (up to 34 pages per minute), low printing costs, and are designed for intensive office use with a monthly load of up to several thousand pages. All devices in the lineup support basic copying and scanning functions via a flatbed scanner, while senior models are additionally equipped with an automatic document feeder with a capacity of 20 to 50 sheets.

The DCP lineup covers a wide range of solutions ― from compact home devices to high-performance office MFPs. The entry-level models are most often simple and compact monochrome laser MFPs, which are ideal for a home office or a small workgroup. The mid-range usually includes color laser models with automatic duplex printing, optional CISS, and expanded network connectivity features, including cloud printing. Such options are more suited for offices with medium document turnover.
