Buy the Brother DCP-T730DW if you want everyday print, scan, and copy at a lower purchase price. Choose the Brother MFC-T930W if the extra cost buys you fax, Ethernet, or higher paper-input capacity for the office.
Both are ink-tank machines with an automatic document feeder and automatic two-sided printing, so the small black-print speed gap alone is not a reason to upgrade. The practical office gap is clearer: the MFC-T930W adds fax, Ethernet (not available on the DCP-T730DW), and a color display, plus a 150-sheet main tray and an 80-sheet multipurpose tray, versus a 150-sheet tray and a 1-sheet manual feed. Both support multiple paper sizes, including A4, Letter, Legal, and A5, per Brother’s regional catalog.
Regional catalog weight is 7.8 kg for the DCP-T730DW and 9.4 kg for the MFC-T930W. Documented wireless is 2.4 GHz on both; do not treat 5 GHz Wi-Fi as an advantage. Listed prices can change with availability and the store’s latest update.

Frequently asked questions
Buy the DCP-T730DW for print, scan, and copy with ADF and auto duplex at a lower price. Move to the MFC-T930W when you need fax, Ethernet, or a higher-capacity extra paper input.
Based on current prices, DCP-T730DW Ink Tank Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 210 USD versus 265 USD for MFC-T930W Ink Tank Printer. The price difference is 55 USD, about 20.8% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
Yes if fax, wired Ethernet, or an 80-sheet multipurpose tray is part of daily work. No if the only extra you are paying for is a tiny black-print speed increase.
Yes. Both offer automatic two-sided printing and an automatic document feeder, so duplex is not a deciding difference.
The DCP-T730DW has a 150-sheet tray and a 1-sheet manual feed. The MFC-T930W adds an 80-sheet multipurpose tray. Both support multiple sizes including A4, Letter, Legal, and A5 per the regional catalog, not A4 only.
Yes. The MFC-T930W adds fax and Ethernet. The DCP-T730DW is print/scan/copy and does not support Ethernet in the regional catalog; that is a real no-versus-yes gap, not missing data.
Do not count on it. Brother’s regional catalog documents 2.4 GHz wireless for both printers.
