The Brother ADS-1500W printer model bears a striking resemblance to the Brother ADS-1000W model, but it boasts several advantages over its predecessor. One such advantage is its ability to expand its internal memory capacity up to 256 MB, compared to the ADS-1000W’s 128 MB RAM limit. This increased memory capacity provides greater support for the printer’s processor, allowing for faster speeds and higher quality outputs.
