Spec Me: A4 Laser Multifunction Printer

[Valo]

My Epson WorkForce Pro WF-4740 Inkjet Multifunction Printer has decided to break down and I can't get it repaired.
I'm looking replace this with a laser multifunction printer instead as my Epson went through ink carts fairly quickly.

Requirements:

A4 B&W Printing - However Colour Would Be Nice.
A4 Colour Scanner
ADF
Double Sided Printing and Scanning
Network Ready - LAN Port
Apple AirPrint Ready
Cheap To Run - Replacement Toners
Moveable/Angle Adjustable Touch Screen/Control Panel

No Online Subscription - Either For Inks or for Functions

Ideally less than £400.00

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

I would recommend the brother l3740. It's (well) within your budget and is good quality. As long as you don't update the firmware you can use aftermarket toner. I am not sure how the apple printing works though. Something to check. It does work fine from android.

Thanks for the recommendation. I had looked at that Brother model myself but forgot to add to my original post that I need something with a moveable/angle adjustable touch screen/control panel.
I'm a wheelchair user and unfortunately the touch screen/control panel is fixed and would be too high for me to be able to see the controls on where it's going to be placed.....added this requirement to my OP.

It's worth having a look at the other models in the range. Their model numbers are a bit strange but they do quite a few very similar but with slightly different features. Perhaps there is one that would meet your requirements? I would definitely recommend Brother though in general.

I will leave recommendations to more knowledgeable people, but you can get ones that you can control from your phone/tablet.

Thanks for the help everyone. I've ordered a Xerox C235. It's low running costs compared to the Brother an d will do everything I need it to as well.

I have that one it works well and is fast, something it has that might be useful for you is the front panel can be remote played via the VNC on phone or tablet in browser so makes it easy to use even if you find the screen positioning not ideal.

I find somethings easier to find through the panel than the admin web interface as there are so many different pages and I can never remember which I want so just use the panel on computer as it is a more logical interface

Excellent! Thanks for the review and info about the front panel view via VNC, that's good to know
