Brother DCP 8060 and DCP 8065DN

Brother's DCP-8060 and DCP-8065DN are digital copier printers based on the HL-5200 engine also used in the HL-5240, 5250, 5270 and 5280 printer. The machine has the same 28 page per minute A4 print capability. The main addition is a flatbed scanner with an optical resolution of 600x2400dpi and a 50 sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF).

The main differences between the DCP-8060 and the DCP8065DN are:

  • Duplex scanning and printing on the "DN"
  • Ethernet built in on the "DN"

Features:

  • Apple Mac and PC Compatible. PCL 6 and BR-Script3 emulations as standard.
  • 300 Sheet standard input capacity.
  • 50 sheet multipurpose tray.
  • 250 sheet cassette under the printer.
  • Up to 800 sheet total capacity with two extra paper trays.
  • Parallel and USB.20 Interfaces on both models.
  • Network on the DCP-8065DN.
  • 50 Page ADF - duplex on the DCP-8065DN.
  • Up to 99 copies in one action.
  • Copy enlargement and reduction from 25% to 400%.

Document Viewer Software: Includes Scansoft PaperPort SE with OCR for Windows and Presto! PageManager for Mac.

OCR Software: Includes Scansoft PaperPort SE with OCR for Windows and Presto! PageManager for Mac

The printer also appears in a multifunction form with fax, scan to FTP and email capabilities.

  • MFC-8460N, Windows GDI 33.6kbFax with 40 one-touch dials.
  • MFC-8660DN, Mostly Asian market.
  • MFC-8860DN, Extended MFC-8860DN with scan to FTP, LDAP, auto duplex scanner and printer.
  • MFC-8870DW, As the MFC-8860DN with 802.11b/g Wireless Interface.

Control:

The DCP-8060 and DCP-8065DN have a copier control panel with a 5-line 22 character display and a numeric keypad.

A function-lock restricts public access to certain functions.

Duty Cycle:

Given as 20,000 pages per month by secondary sources. Brother themselves don't usually seem to give "duty" figures. Such figures are rather meaningless. There is a choice of 3,500 or 7,000 copy cartridges whilst the fuser, rollers and laser are rated for 100,000 pages.

Upto 28ppm for A4 and 30ppm for letter pages

  • DCP-8065DN Auto Duplex Printing at up to 13ppm

These printers are closely related digital copier and multifunction machines.

  • DCP-8060, DCP-8065DN, MFC-8460N, MFC-8660DN, MFC-8860DN, and MFC-8870DW

Users report that the scanner ADF gives some trouble if it is asked to handle more than a few sheets, but nevertheless its good value at the price.

Duplex:

Two-side printing is provided with an auto-duplex unit on the DCP-8065DN. Manual duplex is supported on the DCP-8060.

Processor:

Nothing seems to say what the processor is but at a guess it will be as for the HL-5200 series - a Fujitsu SPARClite 266MHz processor

Memory:

32 MB exp up to 544 Mbyte (1 DIMM 144pin slot 64, 128, 256, 512MB)

Interface:

USB and Parallel interfaces as standard. Ethernet networking provided on the DCP-8065DN.

  • Parallel (IEEE-1284)
  • High-Speed USB 2.0 Ethernet 10/100 BaseTX
  • Network:

    • 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet standard on the DCP-8065DN

    As well as the built-in ethernet port the printers can be attached to external print servers. However note that support for the scanner function on non -Brother print servers may be absent.

    Network Protocols:

    The DCP-8065 supports the TCP/IP Protocols

    Some sources say it's a Windows GDI printer and others that it has Brothers emulation of PCL-6 and PostScript (BR-Script 3) . Its probably the 8065DN that supports BR-Script.

    In 2009 there wasn't a CUPS driver for the 8065DN but that for the DCP-8045 might work. The issue with multifunction printers is often getting the scanner to work.

    System-Compatabilty:

    Windows and Mac OS

    Environment:

    Has both Powersave and Toner Save features. The 8065DN versions are duplex which can nearly halve paper consumption.

    Dimensions:

    531 x450 x 475mm (20.9 x 17.7 x 18.7 inch)

    Weight:

    16.3 kg (36.0 lb) (w/o process unit)

    Another source says 35.4 lbs for the DCP-8060 and 35.9 lbs for the DCP-8065DN but you get the general idea - it isn't particularly heavy for quite a large machine.

    Consumables:

    TN-3130 - Black Toner Cartridge (Standard Yield, 3500 pages)

    TN-3170 - Black Toner Cartridge (High Yield, 7000 pages)

    US cartridges are TN-550/580

    EU cartridges are TN-3130/3170

    Asian cartridges are TN-3145/TN-3185

    Drum

    The printer drum has a yield of 25,000 pages. The printer will continue to work when the drum warning is given and can be used until drum wear gives a print problem (probably faded print or streaking).

    DR-3100 - Approximately 25,000 A4 / letter pages (1 page/job)

    Drum DR3115 in the Asian version

    The Drum is known as DR-520 in the US

    Fuser:

    Laser printer fusers adhere toner to the page using a combination of pressure and heat. Fusers fail when the non-stick surface wears out and the printer will warn of this after 100,000 pages. Fusers can fail more quickly if they are used with innapropriate toner or media.

    LU0214001 110 Volt Fixing Unit (Yield 100,000 pages)

    LU0215001 230 Volt Fixing Unit (Yield 100,000 pages)

    LU0217001 230 Volt Fixing Unit EUR (Yield 100,000 pages)

    There are two 230 Volt fusers listed and used in the UK and EU. Both are available from UK distributors although the LU0217001 seems to be the common code.

    The 110Volt fuser is normally used in the US but there may be uses in the UK such as construction sites.

    The fuser is not particularly easy to change. Details are given in the service manual. There is some further information on this site here. Note that to get full access to the printer innards it may be necessary to remove the scanner unit.

    Spares:

    The printer shares a parts list with the MFC8870DW, MFC8860DN, MFC8460N. the printer itself shares parts with the HL-5200 series.

    Most spares appear to be available in February 2010. Those commonly required are:

    LM6753001 - MP Paper Feed Roller and Separation Pad for Periodic Maintenance. Needed when the printer gives the message "REPLACE PF KIT MP".

    LM6752001 - Multipurpose Separation Pad.

    LM5165001 - Multipurpose Roller and Holder Assembly - double roller in holder.

    LM5852001 - Feed Roller Assembly and Separation Pad Kit for Periodic Maintenance.

    Needed when the printer gives the message "REPLACE PF KIT1" etc. "REPLACE PF KIT2" raises the same issue for tray 2 if fitted. They also take the LM5852001 Kit.

    LM5140001 - Roller in Holder Assembly on Underside of chassis

    LM5237001 - Separation Pad Assembly in paper cassette / tray.

    LM5239001 - Separation Pad Spring under the Pad.

    LM5739001 - Paper Tray Unit (UK and European Models).

    LM5247001 - Lift Gear 46 - Quarter gear item labelled 1-5 on diagram.

    LM5750001- Laser Unit

    For the ADF Unit:

    LE2919001 - ADF Document Feed Roller and Holder

    LF9703001 ADF Hinge Assembly Left.

    UF9009001 Pressure Roller for ADF - 4 Used

    LM5274001 Rear Cover (for AL) Exit path

    Whats-In-The-Box:

    These printers are a recent design and may be offered new in March 2010. Brokers and refurbishers are likely to offer the printer as-is or complete with a recycled toner. The user manual can be found on the Internet. Linux systems come with drivers built in for DCP-845 but (in March 2010) not the 8065.

    Warranty:

    Originally provided with a 3 year warranty.

    Options:

    LT-5300 - Lower Tray Unit (Input Paper Tray)
