Fast Business Colour Printing
The MFC-J4555DW delivers fast ISO print speeds of up to 20ipm in monochrome and 19ipm in colour, making it suitable for busy home offices and small businesses producing invoices, reports, correspondence, presentations and other everyday documents.
First-page output is available from approximately 5.8 seconds, helping reduce waiting time for shorter print jobs.
Dual Paper Trays – Up to 400 Sheets
One of the strongest features carried over from the MFC-J4540DW is the dual paper tray system.
- Upper Tray: Up to 150 sheets
- Lower Tray: Up to 250 sheets
- Total Paper Capacity: Up to 400 sheets
- Rear Manual Feed: 1 sheet
The two trays can also be configured with different supported paper types or sizes, making the printer particularly convenient for businesses regularly switching between everyday A4 documents and other media.
Automatic Duplex Printing
Built-in automatic two-sided printing allows the MFC-J4555DW to print both sides of supported paper automatically.
Duplex print speeds reach approximately 11ipm mono and 10ipm colour, helping reduce paper consumption without significantly slowing everyday workflows.
20-Sheet Automatic Document Feeder
The integrated 20-sheet Automatic Document Feeder allows batches of documents to be scanned, copied or faxed without manually placing each page on the scanner glass.
Please note that the ADF provides single-sided scanning. Automatic duplex applies to printing; the machine does not automatically scan both sides of an original through the ADF.
Print, Scan, Copy & Fax
- Print – Fast A4 colour and monochrome printing
- Scan – Colour flatbed and ADF scanning
- Copy – Colour and monochrome copying
- Fax – Integrated business fax functionality
Ethernet, Dual-Band Wi-Fi & Mobile Printing
The MFC-J4555DW provides flexible connectivity for individual users and shared office environments:
- 10Base-T / 100Base-TX Ethernet
- 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi
- Wi-Fi Direct
- Hi-Speed USB 2.0
- Brother Mobile Connect
- Compatible mobile printing and scanning services
For business environments, retaining a wired Ethernet connection is particularly useful when the printer is shared between multiple workstations.
6.8cm Colour Touchscreen
The MFC-J4555DW includes a 6.8cm colour touchscreen for convenient access to printing, scanning, copying, faxing and network functions.
Up to 18 shortcuts can be configured to simplify frequently used workflows.
New Brother LC536 INKvestment Ink Platform
The MFC-J4555DW uses Brother's newer LC536 ink family, with standard, high-yield and super-high-yield replacement options.
- Brother LC536BK Black – Up to approx. 1,000 pages
- LC536 C/M/Y – Up to approx. 900 pages each
- Brother LC536XLBK High Yield Black – Up to approx. 2,500 pages
- LC536XL C/M/Y – Up to approx. 1,500 pages each
- Brother LC536XXLBK Super High Yield Black – Up to approx. 5,000 pages
- LC536XXL C/M/Y – Up to approx. 2,500 pages each
Declared ink yields are based on Brother's applicable ISO/IEC 24711 methodology. Actual yield varies according to page coverage, documents printed, printer settings and operating conditions.
The older MFC-J4540DW uses Brother LC436 / LC436XL cartridges. These cartridges cannot be used in the MFC-J4555DW. The newer printer uses the LC536 / LC536XL / LC536XXL ink family.
Up to 1 Year of Ink Included In-Box
Brother Australia promotes the MFC-J4555DW with up to one year of ink included in-box, based on approximately 150 pages printed per month with a 60% black / 40% colour page mix and Brother's specified testing methodology.
This means customers moving from the older MFC-J4540DW receive a new set of appropriate LC536-series inks with the replacement printer rather than needing to purchase the new ink family immediately.

Why Upgrade to the MFC-J4555DW?
The MFC-J4555DW is a particularly natural successor to the MFC-J4540DW because it retains the older model's most important productivity features, including 20/19ipm printing, automatic duplex, 20-sheet ADF, dual 150 + 250-sheet paper trays, Ethernet, wireless connectivity and a 6.8cm colour touchscreen.
It also introduces Brother's newer LC536 ink platform with multiple replacement capacities, including a Super High Yield Black option for customers with higher printing requirements.
The main compatibility consideration is consumables: existing LC436 / LC436XL cartridges cannot be transferred to the newer printer.
