How to find printing

equipment that gets an

AZ in every department

We will help you come up

with the right answer

Find choosing the right printing equipment a tricky subject? It’s hardly surprising, with so many options and so much jargon getting in the way. At Brother, we keep it simple and make it easy.

We recognise the importance in listening to ‘your voice’ when it comes to developing our products, so we have established strong and effective partnerships with schools, colleges, universities and key education bodies over many years of working in education.

Those partnerships have helped us to create a whole range of sustainable printing solutions for education, which means you can concentrate on what’s really important – development and learning.

This useful guide will not only help you choose the right solution for printing, scanning, copying, to faxing and labelling, but also explain the partnerships we embrace and invest in, to make education integral to our business.

“As some of the most innovative and

cost-effective solutions available, you

can be sure they’re the best choice for

your school print strategy”

Since being founded in Nagoya, Japan, over 100 years ago, Brother has grown into a global business. Our ethos is to be ‘at your side’ – working closely with our customers and building long-term partnerships. This diagram demonstrates just some of the ways we are constantly helping our customers.

In education, this means partnering education pioneers to understand their technology needs to produce innovative, high quality, effective printing solutions that have a real impact on learning. Such an approach has given us a versatile product portfolio that includes faxes, printers, multifunction machines and labellers, as well as award-winning products such as the world’s first compact A3 multifunction printers.

With environmental issues now high on everyone’s agenda, we’re extremely proud of our long-standing reputation for environmental and ethical excellence and our award for the highest possible score, 100/100 for technology products by the Ethical Company Organisation for five successive years. Our commitment to the environment also includes protecting four square kilometres of Amazon rainforest in partnership with Cool Earth.

We can help make a difference to improving efficiency and reducing costs, too

You are guaranteed great value for money

It’s not just the initial cost of purchase. The technology you choose needs to be affordable to run, too. Brother laser printers, for example, reduce total cost of ownership with a separate toner and drum so you only have to replace one at a time.

Helping you meet your specific needs

By working closely with education establishments and organisations,we have developed features you really need – such as enhanced security and paper-saving double-sided printing.

We will help you focus on what’s really important

Your time should be spent helping pupils and students rather than looking after your printer. So Brother machines are easy to use, high speed and designed to help improve efficiency.

We will help you minimise your impact on the environment

To help you meet your commitments to sustainability, Brother products are amongst the greenest for energy use and recycling, earning us the Energy Star, Nordic Swan and Blue Angel accreditations.

We are confident you’ll be impressed by our products

We will let you try our products for FREE before you buy. Contact our education team for more information about our FREE evaluation scheme (see back page for contact details).

We will do our best to never let you down

Our reputation for reliability and service is unsurpassed. But for added peace of mind all our products come with 12 months warranty.

If you're sourcing equipment for your school, you want to know you're dealing with someone who totally understands education. At Brother, it's integral to our business. So much so, we've developed key relationships with a number of education bodies:

The Specialist Schools and Academies

Trust (SSAT) is an independent, not-for-

profit organisation dedicated to raising

levels of achievement in secondary

education, and has a membership of

over 5,600 schools and organisations.

Brother’s relationship with SSAT has

been developed over several years and

has resulted in us sponsoring a number

of key projects.

Our involvement with the SSAT includes the sponsorship of the Futures Vision Awards in 2008, which awards specialist schools and academies across England who are recognised as being at the heart of their community. Apart from demonstrating our commitment to community education, the sponsorship helped us to better understand how printing is used throughout schools across the country.

These include the National Academies Conference, which was an exciting opportunity for academy staff to come together to explore their work to date and to discuss new policies, and the Annual National Conference, which this year focused on three key elements: What should students learn, how should students learn and how can we remove the barriers to learning?

Brother is a member and sponsoring

partner of Naace, a professional

association aiming to advance

education through the use of ICT.

Operated by the SSAT, the ICT register is a unique resource enabling schools to share advice and best practice about all aspects of learning and technology.

Working with Naace allows Brother to

engage and collaborate with the ICT

professionals in education helping

us to invest in the right technology

solutions for you. We work closely

with the Naace community and

get actively involved in think tanks

throughout the year as well as

supporting the annual conference

which keeps us regularly updated on

key education programmes.

www.naace.co.uk

The ICT Register allows us to not only develop our relationships with schools, but communicate best practice demonstrated by case studies and update schools on promotions and competitions we are running. By sponsoring the ICT Register Showcase Awards, which celebrates some of the most innovative work being undertaken by register schools across the UK, we have been able to strengthen our relationships further.www.ict-register.net


Here’s an assignment that not only showcased students’ artistic

talents, but also helped one lucky student win a wireless Brother

all-in-one printer for themselves and an A3 multifunction printer

for their school.

Open to students aged between 11 and 18, we put the brief out to

Secondary Schools to get them to help us design and illustrate an

A3-sized piece of artwork to be used within this Education Guide.

As the standard of the work we received was so high, choosing

from the many entries was extremely difficult. After long

deliberations though, the eventual winner was chosen. We are

proud to announce that the student whose work is featured in

the centre pages of the guide is Marta Weglarowicz from

Cardinal Newman Catholic High School in Warrington.

Congratulations Marta!

Reducing costs & time• Cut your paper costs. Available throughout Brother's product range, double-sided printing can save up to 50% on paper, while booklet printing can save up to 75%.

• Control costs more easily. Colour Restrict and Secure Function Lock keep you in control of who uses certain features, without restricting everyday printing.

• Save time when you scan. With Brother all-in-one printers you can scan to a network folder, VLE, email, USB host or FTP, without even having to turn on your PC.

• Get a clear advantage with ISIS scanning. We are the first to introduce industry-standard ISIS scanner drivers as standard on our all-in-one machines, for maximum compatibility with all the leading document management software.

Confidentiality & security• Confidentiality guaranteed. If you’re printing sensitive documents, the Secure Print feature makes sure they don’t print out until your password’s entered on the control panel.

• Keep sensitive information safe. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption makes any data unreadable to potential hackers to keep all your information secure.

• Protect against fraud with PIRA. All Brother's PIRA-accredited machines make sure printed cheque data can't be easily altered and comply with APACS (Association for Payment Clearing Services).

• Save time with BR-Admin. Free with every Brother networked product, this management software helps to identify simple and easily solved problems using email reporting.

The right solution to make your life easier


Dining Room Assembly HAllAt lunch we have a dining room. In the morning this room is used as an assembly hall where a projector shows the assembly.

i.T RoomsThe printers in the I.T Rooms are very useful for doing homework and coursework. It is easy to print the work we do in I.T lessons and put it in our folders. We don’t have to walk around the school to get our work from different printers.

libRARyIn the Library, children use the printers to print their homework. This is very good for children who don’t have a printer at home. The printer in the Library is very useful because it is easy to get to.

sTAff RoomIn the Staff Room, teachers often use printers to print worksheets for lessons. Printers in the Staff Room are very useful because teachers don’t need to look anywhere else for a printer.

A computer each so we don’t have to share.

In a class of our ownWith such a firm commitment to education there’s no better choice of printing equipment than Brother. The best way to show what a difference it can make is to look at examples of Brother in action. Here are just a couple:

James Rennie School in Cumbria is a specialist communication and interaction college for children between 3 and 19 years of age with pronounced or severe learning difficulties. As a result of taking part in the Futures Vision Award Scheme, the school was looking for ways to improve communication and celebrate pupils' achievements.

Brother's involvement included supplying the MFC-6490CW, the world's first compact multifunction A3 inkjet machine, making A3 printing affordable and easy thanks to its simple wireless network connection. Both staff and students have used its features to great effect.

Filing students' work – often on A3 paper – was proving difficult. But with the built-in scanner, every piece of work can be scanned and electronically stored, giving a complete record of each pupil's progress while cutting down on filing space.

“Brother's multifunction machine

has made a big difference to our

school. In the past, the high cost of

A3 printers has prevented us from

investing in this kind of printer, but

Brother has made this an affordable

investment for any school looking to

make an impact.”

Croydon is one of the largest providers of Further and Higher Education in the South East, with over 13,000 students and 1,000 academic and business support staff across three sites. Brother has helped the IT Services Team standardise to reduce costs and improve performance, replacing many old inkjet printers with centralised HL-5380DN mono laser and HL-4050CDN colour laser printers, plus DCP-9042CDN multifunction machines.

The results have been impressive. The printers use ‘green’ settings such as mono, double-sided and draft quality as their default (although settings can be changed by staff if needed) to produce significant savings without compromising on reliability or performance.

“We've reduced the number

of printers by over 5% in

the last twelve months,

introducing printers that

will help us achieve more

with less, reduce costs and

minimise our impact on

the environment – Brother

is best placed to help us

achieve these aims.”
