The decisive gap between the Epson EcoTank L6370 and the Brother DCP-T536DW is document handling and networking, not the close ISO print speeds. The Epson is an ink-tank office MFP with a 30-sheet ADF, duplex scanning, Ethernet, and a 250-sheet tray. The Brother is a low-profile tank printer with glass-only scanning, a 150-sheet tray, and USB plus 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi Direct only.

Choose the L6370 when the office feeds multi-page copy/scan jobs, needs a wired LAN drop, or runs on 5 GHz Wi-Fi. ISO print speed is 18/9 ppm (black/colour) versus 16/9 on the Brother, and the boxed black ink is higher (about 15,100 versus 7,500 pages). The trade-off is height: 240 mm because of the feeder.

Choose the DCP-T536DW for a compact home or SOHO desk (148.5 mm tall) that still wants automatic two-sided printing on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, without batch ADF scanning. First-page-out is quicker (about 6.2/9.6 s versus 8.5/13.5 s); originals go on the glass one by one. Do not assume ADF, 5 GHz, or Ethernet on this SKU — the 20-sheet ADF belongs to the T730/T830 family, not T536.

Today the L6370 is about $340 versus $140 for the T536DW. The extra $200 is justified if you are buying the ADF, duplex scan, Ethernet, and 250-sheet tray — not if you only need compact auto-duplex home printing.

Verdict: pick L6370 for repeated office documents and batch scanning; pick T536DW when a compact auto-duplex printer without an ADF is enough. Both are currently out of stock; when they return, decide by ADF and connectivity, not by maximum dpi or weight.

Material differences (most important first)

  • Document feeder: The Epson EcoTank L6370 has a 30-sheet ADF for A4/Letter with duplex scanning. The Brother DCP-T536DW is flatbed-only; the 20-sheet feeder belongs to the T730/T830 family, not this model.
  • Networking: Both print over USB, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct. The L6370 adds Ethernet and 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi for a wired office or a 5 GHz network. Middle East T536 units stay on 2.4 GHz with no LAN port.
  • Paper capacity: The L6370 tray holds 250 sheets versus 150 on the T536DW. Brother outputs more: 50 sheets versus 30.
  • Boxed ink: About 15,100 black pages on the L6370 versus 7,500 on the T536DW, and 5,500 versus 5,000 colour. Bottle series numbers alone do not settle the buy.
  • Everyday speed: Colour ISO print is 9 ppm on both; black is 18 versus 16. First-page-out is quicker on the T536DW (about 6.2/9.6 s versus 8.5/13.5 s).
  • Footprint: The T536DW is much shorter (148.5 mm versus 240) with a 1-line LCD, so it fits a tight home desk. The L6370 is taller because of the ADF and a 2.4-inch colour screen.

Minor deltas

  • Ink mix: pigment black plus dye colour on Epson versus dye ink on Brother — not proof of higher print quality by itself.
  • Maximum dpi is worded differently and does not, on its own, prove better output.

Similarities

Print, Scan, and Copy with no fax; automatic two-sided printing up to A4 on plain paper; colour ISO print at 9 ppm; 1200×2400 optical scan; four-colour tank system.
