Q: QuestionWill this printer work with my Samsung galaxy tablet?

Asked 3 weeks ago by George.

• A:Answer I have a Samsung Galaxy S23. I downloaded the free Brother Mobile Connect app. With my phone and the DCP-L2640W on my WiFi, I just open a document which prompts for the app or you can the app separately. The Brother Android app works as well or better than their desktop app.

Asked 2 months ago by Fmrnyr.

• A:Answer The platen will only fit 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. The paper tray is limited to 8 1/2 x 11 paper. You can scan anything longer than 11 inches like legal size by feeding the sheets through the automatic document feeder. However, there's no way to print on 8 1/2 x 14 legal size paper.
