Decision: The MFC-L2885DW is the overall winner because of its broader functions, connectivity, and 50-sheet ADF. The DCP-L2600D may suit direct USB use when simplicity and a smaller body matter more than faxing and automatic document handling.
Both are monochrome laser multifunction printers with A4 print and copy speeds of 34 pages per minute and print and optical scan resolutions up to 1200 × 1200 dpi. They also share automatic duplex printing, a 250-sheet input tray, a 120-sheet output capacity, and support for TN2500, TN2500XL, and TN2500XXL toner cartridges.
The MFC-L2885DW adds faxing, while the DCP-L2600D is limited to printing, scanning, and copying. It also includes a 50-sheet ADF and Dual CIS scanner, whereas the DCP-L2600D has a flatbed CIS scanner without an ADF. The MFC model supports Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and mobile printing, while the DCP model provides USB 2.0 only. It also has a 2.7-inch colour TFT display and 256 MB of memory, compared with a two-line text LCD and 128 MB.
The MFC-L2885DW suits users who handle multi-page documents or require wireless access and faxing. The DCP-L2600D suits direct USB workflows that need the same core print speed in a lighter and lower-profile device.
The MFC-L2885DW provides fax, a 50-sheet ADF, a Dual CIS scanner, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, a colour TFT display, and 256 MB of memory. The DCP-L2600D offers print, scan, and copy functions with a flatbed scanner, USB 2.0, a text LCD, and 128 MB of memory, but it is lighter and lower.
Based on current prices, DCP-L2600D Monochrome Laser 3 in 1 Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 130 USD versus 260 USD for MFC-L2885DW Monochrome Laser 4 in 1 Printer. The price difference is 130 USD, about 50% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
The MFC-L2885DW is better suited to users who need faxing, automatic multi-page scanning or copying, or wireless printer sharing. The DCP-L2600D may suit users who only need printing, scanning, and copying from a computer connected directly through USB and do not require fax, an ADF, or wireless printing.
Both print monochrome A4 pages at 34 ppm, copy at 34 cpm, and support automatic duplex printing. Each provides print and optical scan resolutions up to 1200 × 1200 dpi, a 250-sheet input tray, a 120-sheet output capacity, and a separate toner and drum system.
No. The MFC-L2885DW includes a 50-sheet ADF, allowing a stack of documents to be fed for scanning or copying without placing each page manually. The DCP-L2600D has no ADF and uses a flatbed scanner, so pages must be placed on the scanner individually.
