Both are A4 ink-tank 3-in-1 printers with automatic duplex printing and no fax. The ISO black gap — 18 ppm on the Epson EcoTank L6370 versus 16 ppm on the Brother DCP-T730DW — is not the buying hinge. The real split is two-sided ADF scanning plus Ethernet on Epson versus faster colour ISO and a simpler wireless-only unit on Brother.

Choose the L6370 if the office feeds two-sided stacks through a 30-sheet ADF (Epson documents automatic duplex scan and copy), needs a wired LAN port with dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi, or wants a 250-sheet tray and a 2.4-inch colour screen. Pigment black ink suits documents. The trade-off is colour ISO at 9 ppm versus 15.5, and a slower first page (8.5/13.5 s versus 6.2/6.5 s).

Choose the DCP-T730DW if originals are scanned one-sided through a 20-sheet ADF, colour ISO 15.5 ppm and first-page speed matter, Legal fits the tray, and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is enough for this 220–240 V regional SKU. Print resolution of 1200×6000 is not Windows-only on this model, and inbox black is typically two 7,500-page bottles. There is no fax on a DCP, no Ethernet, and no duplex ADF scan. Brother ASE lists the weight at 8.6 kg.

Neither printer is currently available to buy in the store; confirm stock before ordering. Lean L6370 for two-sided archiving or a wired LAN; lean T730 for everyday colour printing without duplex scanning.

What differs?

Material differences (most important first)

  • Two-sided ADF scan/copy: The Epson EcoTank L6370 does automatic duplex scan and copy through a 30-sheet ADF up to A4. The Brother DCP-T730DW has a 20-sheet ADF for one-sided jobs per the Brother ASE manual; the boolean here is No, not a blank field.
  • Ethernet: Present on the L6370 with USB and dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi. The T730 uses USB, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct with no wired LAN (unsupported on this model, not “not listed”).
  • Paper tray: 250 sheets on the L6370 versus 150 on the T730, plus a 1-sheet manual slot and Legal in Brother’s tray.
  • ISO print speed: Black is slightly faster on the L6370 (18 vs 16 ppm). Colour is clearly faster on the T730 (15.5 vs 9 ppm).
  • Control panel: 2.4-inch (6.1 cm) colour screen on the L6370 versus a 1-line 16-character LCD on the T730.

Important in daily use

  • First page: Faster on the T730 (6.2/6.5 s vs 8.5/13.5 s).
  • Ink type: L6370 pigment black with dye colour. T730 is listed as dye ink in Brother’s published data.
  • ADF scan speed (simplex): L6370 5 ipm black and colour (Epson also documents 3.5 ipm for two-sided ADF scan). T730 17 ipm black and 7 ipm colour, one-sided.

Does not settle the buy

  • Automatic duplex printing is shared.
  • Neither printer has fax (Print/Scan/Copy only).
  • Inbox black yield 15,100 vs 15,000 is under 1% and is not a primary gap.
  • A 4 mm depth gap is not a practical difference.

Similarities

A4 four-colour ink tanks, automatic duplex printing, Print/Scan/Copy, and Wi-Fi plus Wi-Fi Direct. Neither is currently available to buy.
