Brother DCP-1512 Driver

The Brother DCP-1512 printer is part of the same printer series as the DCP-1510, MFC-1810, and MFC-1815 models, all of which are designed to provide optimal printing resources to users. This model utilizes electrophotographic laser print technology to produce high-quality prints.

To achieve the best performance from the Brother DCP-1512 printer, it is recommended to use a power source between 110-120 volts and 50/60 Hz for Mexico, and between 220-240 volts for Chile and Argentina. By following these specifications, users can ensure that their printer operates at peak efficiency.

Specifications

The printer’s power consumption varies depending on the specific function being used, such as printing, copying, scanning, or other processes. The average power consumption during printing and copying is up to 380 watts at 25⁰C, while the active mode uses about 40 watts at the same temperature. In deep sleep mode, the printer consumes approximately 1.3 watts of power, but when powered off, the consumption drops to around 0.28 watts. These figures may differ depending on the make and model of the printer and the environmental conditions in which it’s used.

In terms of physical attributes, this printer has a weight of approximately 17.6lbs or 8.0 Kg. It has a height measurement of 11.1 inches and a depth of 13.3 inches, with a width of 18 inches. For optimal performance, the operating temperature of the device should fall between 10 and 32.5⁰C. During storage, the temperature should be maintained between 0 and 40⁰C.

To ensure proper operation, the humidity range should be kept between 20 and 80%. The room’s humidity level should be maintained between 10 and 90%, without any condensation. It is worth noting that these operating conditions are crucial to the printer’s performance and longevity.

In summary, this printer’s physical attributes, operating temperature, and humidity range must be correctly observed to achieve optimal performance and prevent any potential damage.

Connectivity to this device is primarily through the hi-speed USB 2.0 port, requiring an appropriate type A/B USB cable no longer than 6 feet. When scanning through the scanner glass, only one sheet can be processed at a time. However, this component allows for a maximum length of 300 mm and a width of up to 215.9 mm. It’s worth noting that the scanner glass itself weighs about 4.4 lbs or 2.0 kg. You can download the Brother DCP-1512 driver from the Brother website.
