For the ultimate in connectivity, the MFC-9840
CDW
includes built-in
wireless 802.11b/g and Ethernet interfaces**. This gives you the 
widest range of connection options, and great flexibility for all your 
wireless as well as wired users. 
Save time and reduce errors with instant direct access through your 
network connected MFC-9840
CDW
to a virtually infinite number of
E-mail and fax addresses stored in your LDAP network address 
books. Simply use the 5-line LCD display on the MFC-9840
CDW
control panel to locate, view, 
and select the contacts stored 
in your LDAP network address 
books. Sending documents 
electronically to others on your 
network could not be easier.
The MFC-9840
CDW
includes automatic
duplex (two-sided) printing, copying, 
scanning and faxing. This feature can 
help reduce paper costs, while giving 
you the ability to create professional two-
sided documents for reports, proposals 
and other materials, quickly and easily.
Scan documents and images and 
post them to FTP sites directly
through your network-connected
all-in-one**. It’s ideal if you often 
post files to FTP sites for easy 
retrieval and download by permitted 
users inside your firm, perhaps in 
remote locations, or by corporate partners, such as clients, 
vendors, agents and others. Multiple FTP server profiles can 
store specific sites and folder locations, access codes, and 
scanning preferences for your frequently used FTP locations, 
cutting time spent and potential errors.
If you employ a leading network-based fax-server application in 
your enterprise, the MFC-9840
CDW
can be set up as a document
scanning device to work with it. Transmission of your faxes will 
then take place through your preferred network-based fax-server 
application, rather than through its built-in fax modem.
Walk-up copying, scanning, and faxing are all great conveniences. 
However, you may want to limit access to select features, especially 
if you are handling confidential records and data, or to restrict access 
to printing to keep your operating costs down. So the MFC-9840
CDW
provides the ability for your administrator to set various levels of 
password-protected access to certain features, for each of up to 
25 different users per machine.
