hey it's trust in you from CNET this is a first look at the brother MSC Jay 470 DW multifunction inkjet printer so if you're shopping for an all-in-one printer with a small office and don't have more than 100 bucks to spend this is a great option with a lot of features to keep you productive first you can save money on paper using the built-in duplexer that thing automatically flips over a sheet of paper to print on both sides you can fit a hundred sheets of paper inside that removable tray on the bottom here but you can also put an extra 20 sheets inside this other tray on top that's called an auto document feeder you can put all kinds of different types of media in there from regular photo paper to envelopes or index cards and it'll automatically scan or copy your batches so this is the control panel here it has a 1.8 inch color LCD screen that shows you things like ink levels and Wi-Fi setup assistance but one thing I don't like is the rubber buttons they feel pretty cheap not to mention dated compared to the tactile or sometimes even touchscreen buttons on competing printers you can easily connect through a USB cord underneath but if you want to establish a connection with a Wi-Fi network you can take advantage of all the cloud printing features those include printing from any Google Chrome browser using Cloud Print or through any Apple iOS device using AirPrint brother also offers a full suite of cloud printing software that gives your portable devices access to the printer to automatically upload jobs to services like Facebook Flickr Dropbox and more up here you'll find the flatbed glass scanner that works in conjunction with free software included called scan soft paper port now that lets you control where your scans go and you can easily save projects in a number of different formats then automatically have them saved onto a hard drive folder an email message or a Microsoft Office project unlike a lot of inkjet printers that hide the ink cartridges underneath the scanning Bay this one actually has a front loading bay so it's really easy to swap out refills thankfully ink refill prices are actually lower than average too so check out the full review to see those figures and of course a performance evaluation for output quality and speed but that's going to do it for this video I'm Justin you you just took a first look at the Brother NSC J 4:17 DW inkjet printer thanks for watching
