Outstanding

This is the first Brother Printer I have owned and replaced a Canon Inkjet printer that failed to live up to my expectations. Right from the gitgo I was impressed by the Brother Printer. I wanted to set it up wirelessly and followed the simple instructions. I decided against using a USB cable, rather, opting to connect to my router wirelessly. The set up was so very simple and it connected straight away, much simpler than the Canon setup process. In use the Brother is quick and very quiet and based on my usage so far would certainly buy another Brother printer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Printer

I'm happy with my purchase but there seems to be a software glitch because it would print wireless for awhile and then three times, it lost connection....nothing to do w/my internet connection...it was the printer communicating w/the wireless network. But I was extremely happy with the Brother software specialists techs. They were patient, professional and courteous and they fixed the problem. Maybe it has something to do with Windows 10 upgrade. Kudos to Rose and Valerie! Hope I don't need any more assistance.

Solid Device

I bought this device to replace an older all-in-one from a different manufacturer which didn't offer Windows 10 drivers. It gets moderately heavy use both printing and scanning.
My original 2540DW broke after about two weeks in that something happened to its wireless function. Everything else worked. Brother promptly shipped me a brand new (not refurbished) replacement unit.
As to use, one particularly nice feature is one where you can set up the printer to be quieter than normal. That does make the machine less noisy, but I think it's at the expense of speed. Good trade off, IMHO.
The scanner drivers (which work over networked connections) include both a WIA and TW driver. The TW driver is much better, automatically sensing when something is in the paper feeder, and defaulting to 8.5x11 for flatbed scanning. The WIA driver does neither of those things and is rather annoying.
The starter toner runs empty rather fast, but there is an optional setting you can set where the machine will continue running when it thinks the toner is low. It won't just stop printing on you. Shaking the toner will get a few more pages printed. I bought the high capacity toner to replace it, and it seems to be holding up well--no estimate yet on number of pages.
I've had no print jams and no scanner jams not caused by damaged paper. It is a bit sensitive to knowing the paper is in the scanner--you have to put it in just right.
Overall a pretty good device at a very good price.

Fast home network printing.

We enjoy the speed and quality of this machine. It is always ready to print! Wakes up and connects within a few seconds and is easy to find on our network when installing new computers. We installed it in our closet and it has no problem connecting wirelessly. Software is simple to install and use. Never going back to inkjet. As long as my brother plays nice.…then we will have one in our family for many years to come.

NOT AS ADVERTISED

Connection for printing is not working. Also, I specifically purchased this equipment for its OCR capability AS ADVERTISED. It does not have that capability and I need to return it. How do I do that?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Have used it for two months for single and double-sided copies. Easy to set up and a delight to use. Instructions easy to follow and purchased an additional toner cartridge which may be used later this year.
