Graphics quality was a touch sub-par for a color laser-class printer. It's fine for any business use short of ones that require very small fonts, such as demanding desktop publishing applications. The MFC-9330CDW's text quality was on par for a laser-class printer, which is to say very good. Overall output quality was slightly below par due to slightly sub-par graphics and photos. The Editors' Choice Dell 2155cn, rated at 24 ppm for both color and black output, tested at 5.9 ppm, while the Canon Color imageClass MF8580Cdw ( at Amazon), rated at 21ppm in its default duplex mode and 10 ppm in simplex, tested at 4.9 ppm in duplex and 6 ppm in ad-hoc simplex testing.
(Our test suite includes text pages, graphics pages, and pages combining text and graphics.) Its tested speed was nearly a page per minute faster than the Brother MFC-9340CDW (5.8 ppm) despite their identical rated speed of 23 pages per minute, and a touch faster than the Brother MFC-9130CW ($920.00 at Amazon) (6.5 ppm), rated at 19 ppm. The MFC-9330CDW printed out our business applications suite (as timed with QualityLogic's hardware and software) at 6.6 effective pages per minute (ppm), a reasonable speed considering its 23 page per minute rated speed for both color and monochrome printing, which should be about its print speed when printing text only. I tested it over an Ethernet connection, with the drivers installed on a computer running Windows Vista. For mobile printing, it supports Apple AirPrint, Brother iPrint&Scan, Google Cloud Print, and Cortado WorkPlace. It can connect to a compatible device via WiFi Direct, without the need to go through a Wi-Fi network. The MFC-9330CDW can connect to a PC via a USB cable, or to a network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The automatic duplexer permits printing on both sides of a sheet of paper.
Paper capacity is 250 sheets, plus a one-page manual feed slot no additional paper handling is available. The only physical button on the panel is the start/stop button. To its right is the backlit keypad, which only appears when you press Fax or other functions that require that you enter numbers. The front panel houses a 3.7-inch color touch screen. It measures a reasonably compact 16.1 by 16.1 by 19.1 inches (HWD) and weighs 51.1 pounds. As an LED printer, the MFC-9330CDW uses LEDs in place of lasers as a light source LED printers are still considered laser class.
