Hello all.  Just wondering the difference between a couple of printers.  First of all, what is the difference between the MFC M281cdw and the M281fdw?  Also, what is the difference between the m281 series and the m283 series?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mike

the specs are identical on these two units. Likely the difference is vendors that sell them. Different model = no price match required. I have attached a pdf of the specs of both you can have a look at.

Thank you so much for the info.  And is the m283 just a newer model?

 

Thanks again,
