We actually found ourselves having to squint to read the tiny characters during tests. In addition, the screen is fixed at an angle that's actually difficult to read unless you're hovering over the device. The button layout on the front lip of the control panel literally reminds me of my family's first dot-matrix printer back in the late '80s, with its small rubber buttons smashed around a pathetic one-line LCD that lacks a backlit screen for nighttime viewing. The Web site describes the DCP-165C as "low-profile," which might be the understatement of the year. Its long footprint saves a bit of space at 15.4 inches wide by 14.4 inches deep by 5.9 inches tall, but the boring rectangular shape has absolutely no appeal to the modern consumer, especially when you consider the aesthetic achievements of printers such as the HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One. We knew this printer would receive low design scores right off the bat due to what you could call hate at first sight. If you've done any printer shopping at all prior to reading this review, you'll immediately notice that the Brother DCP-165C is light years behind the competition in terms of aesthetic design.
