Great for the money
on February 13, 2015
Posted by: EagleGroup
from Central Indiana
This printer is fast at 30ppm, toner is not to expensive, scans & copies and outputs nice looking pages. The only draw back is the output tray for printouts is small and the bottom tray does not hold a lot of paper at one time. The first time we hooked up the printer to our wireless router it connected and worked great the first day, when we arrived the next day it would not connect to the wireless router and have not been able to get it to connect so we just used a direct wire and connected it to an available port on our wireless router and we have not had any problems since, just can't use the wireless feature. Overall for the price this was a great buy. We are thinking of buying 2 more.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's loud but it works well

I don't want to print anything but sometimes you just have to so I bought this printer. Ink jet printers dry up when they sit for long periods then you have to go through the cleaning cycles and hope they work again. Laser printers not so much. And this thing hooks up to WIFI and Google Cloud Print so phones, tablets and laptops will print from anywhere. Plus it has a scanner not that I do much of that. It is loud though so if you need something quiet this isn't your printer. Other than that it's great.

Wifi Stinks
on June 10, 2015

The wifi does not work while printing from my (and my wife's) iPhone. It was also intermittent printing from my computer, but that seems to have stabilized. On the phone for hours with both Brother and Apple, each pointing the finger at the other for not working. All I know is, my last printer worked just fine with our iPhones, this one does not. Not a huge issue, but it should just work without having to jump through so many hoops. It is also slow getting started up depending on which program I am trying to print from. Otherwise, a pretty good printer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very nice MFC
on July 21, 2015
Posted by: Stormy

I like this MFC. I have used various Brother products in the past so I was expecting a good product and that is what I got. It prints well and I love the auto feeder for copying and scanning. I have not set it up for receiving print requests from tablet/smart phone devices yet, but I plan to try that functionality out. An HP I have did not work as advertised with those devices. I'm hopeful Brother's will. The printer is a bit noisy, but that is partly due to it being set right next to me. The sound level is not that bad for me, but I know there are more finicky people than I out there.

Will not stay connected to WiFi
on July 30, 2015
Posted by: Unhappycustomer25
I've had this printer less than 3 months and it will not print--it says "searching for printer--printer not connected. The WiFi light is on but every time I try to print, I have to shut the printer off and turn it back on. Plus I can not get it to print a 4 x 6 recipe card in the proper orientation using Pages on my Mac. I've called Brother but the technician was not able to help me. I'm very disappointed in this printer.

Good printer
on August 9, 2015

I bought this printer to replace another Brother MFC that was showing its age. I did not need the fax feature so I replaced it with something like it. It set up like the last one and produced excellent copies, printing and scans. It had one major problem, it would go to deep sleep and disconnect from my network. it refused to reconnect without a complete reset. After much discussion and messaging, it was decided it did have firmware problem and Brother was working on it. I left town for a week and shut down the whole system. When I returned, I repowered the system and the printer has worked perfectly ever since. I do not know if I changed a setting before I left and it did not apply until it restarted. I do not care. IT WORKS. I am very happy with the performance. It was a little noisy so I turned on the quiet setting and it is much better.

Great product
on December 16, 2014
Posted by: crss
I just started using it a couple of days ago and so far it works great. I love the duplex capability and that's what attracted me the most because I print a lot and being able to print duplex copies is a great feature for me.
The only thing a bit different than my old MFC is that this one is a bit more noisy. Nothing outrageous but noticeable.
