The Story
Product Description
The MFC-L3780CDW is built for speed and high-volume tasks. Its standout feature is the Single-Pass Duplex scan and copy, which uses two sensors to scan both sides of a document simultaneously, significantly cutting down processing time. It also features integrated NFC (Near Field Communication) for secure badge-based authentication.
Plan Features: Brother Refresh EZ Print
This printer is "Refresh-ready," meaning you can opt into a monthly subscription service for toner. Unlike HP+, this is an optional service and does not lock the printer's hardware.

| Toner Delivery | User monitors and purchases. | Automatic: Printer orders toner before you run out. |
| Cost Structure | Market price per cartridge. | Monthly Plan: Pay by pages printed (starts at ~$3.99/mo). |
