Exceptional Value for a Great Little All-in-One
My printer arrived today via UPS (free shipping, courtesy of Amazon). I lucked out and bought the unit when it was on sale at $329! Actully, Brother, HP and other manufacturers should give these machines away for free because the cost of replacing the toners and drums will far exceed by several multiples the purchase price of the machine over the life of the machine.It was very easy to set up the machine and “pair” it to my wireless network — you do need a USB cable to “pair” the machine to your computer and the network; the pairing took less than a minute.I’ve always had HP machines; oh, how I miss my HP color AIO that died after seven (7) years of use. The specs of this Brother is better than my departed HP but the color on the HP seemed better (but the unit cost nearly $800 back then). I’ll have to play with the color setting and use color laser paper going forward.Printing from my iPhone 4 was a breeze and the photos I printed came out pretty good.I’m amazed at being able to print from my laptop wirelessly. I have Vonage so I have to keep the machine close to the Vonage adepter for faxing. My home office is actually upstairs and the printer is hidden next to couch in the living room downstairs. I’m going to use my HP LaserJet P1006 for everyday black and white printing.The HP printers no longer look good; they look bulky and plain ugly. This Brother machine looks attractive and elegant — like the new BMW 3 series :-)It looks like the price for this Brother went back up close to the MSRP. Even at that price, this machine is worth it.Setting the time/date on the machine (for faxing) is not as easy as my departed HP AIO. I have to read the user’s guide to figure that out.I hope the scanner works well and easily — that’s next on my to do list: learn to use that function.Update February 29, 2012I ordered 512 MB of additional memory from 1 Arch Computer through Amazon; I should get it in a few days. I wish the machine came with more than 64 MB of memory.The user’s guides do not do an adequate job of explaining how to use the scannner; I may have to call Brother customer service for this (as I had to for my departed AIO HP). I couldn’t find an option to turn scanned documents into PDF docs that would go straight to my laptop.Maybe it’s Vonage but I could not fax a 20 page document; I got an insufficient memory error message even though I used the “color copy” to send the fax.I’m hoping the additional 512 MB of memory will solve my faxing problem.On the plus side, the color photos I printed came out very nice.Update March 10, 2012The fax works very nicely even on Vonage. The extra RAM I added helps a lot. The machine scans the documents into memory and then sends the entire document — very fast. Great for large document faxing.As for printing photos, the quality of the print depends on the camera that was used to take the photo. Photos that were taken with high quality digital cameras come out very nice; while photos taken with my iPhone 4 come out a shade dark and not as crisp.Next task to master — learning to use the scanner.I love it that I can print wirelessly from my laptop, iPhone and iPad 2 — this novelty has not worn off yet.Update: June 2012I’m happy with the fax, print and copy functions. I’m still trying to figure out how to get the scan function to scan in PDF mode; I followed the MFG’s instructions and set it to PDF but it still scans in JPG mode and the PDF image/file shows up as blank files.Update: January 2014The scanner function STOPPED working after I installed Windows 8 and 8.1 on my laptop. Brother does not yet have a software/firmware update for the scanner function. The print function works on Windows 8 and 8.1 after I installed Brother’s software/firmware update for this function.Update: June 2014The Yellow Toner runs out the quickest.I still can’t get the scanner to work.I’ve done everything I’m supposed to but I’ve been getting stray lines when I make copies. The print function is great.When I have to replace the roller and drum (which I hope won’t be for a long time), I’m getting a new machine.Update: September 2014I’m seriously considering junking this MFC! I got a new more powerful wifi router and I could not connect this MFC to my new router, despite repeated attempts — it kept telling me I failed to enter the right passcode to the router! Also, the consumables (toner cartridges) need replacing more frequently and I still cannot get the scanner to work.Going back to HP all-in-one laser color machines.

Good scanner; horrible for printing
I have had this for about 2 years and it’s got a lot of quirks, but if you !!!!read the instructions before you try to set it up!!!! and obey a few other rules I’m about to tell you because the instructions got it wrong, then some of the quirks can be overcome.New rules you won’t find in the instructions:1. ONLY use 20-lb laser paper. 24-lb or photo paper are TOO THICK and it jams.2. ONLY use the big paper drawer on the bottom, keep the printer in automatic feed mode. The manual feeder always jams.3. NEVER use any paper size that does not fit in the auto-feed drawer. Your paper size selection is limited to a couple of standard sizes, width ranges from about 4 to 8.5 inch while length ranges from about 6 to “folio” which is about 14 inch.4. Open the back panel and strap something (half a pizza box, with duct tape) on to make it a bit longer; that will be the paper’s exit. You need to strap something to the end of it to add some length, otherwise the paper shoots out so fast it ramps right over the panel and ends up on the floor. NEVER use the paper exit on the front of the machine or it will jam, always run it with the back panel open.5. Feed the scanner/fax one page at a time by opening the top of the unit and manually placing the page on the glass. NEVER use the auto-feed for the copy/scan/fax functions on top of the machine because it jams.6. Print quality is pretty good. Toner longevity is very nice.7. This thing ALWAYS prints pages in backwards order so page 1 is on the bottom. I guess it never learned to count. When you have to print three copies of a 130-page thesis, that gets annoying. You have to sort the pages by hand.8. Right, left, front, back, and top sides ALL need considerable space to access panels and buttons.8. IT IS BIG AND HEAVY.9. It uses four toner drums: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Very long-life toner compared to inkjet.10. ONE-SIDED printing only, no front/back capability even though it says it can do it, it really can’t because it requires the manual-load to do it and the manual-loader jams 100% of the time.11. You can add a 144-pin SODIMM RAM chip to upgrade the memory if you print really big files. It has 64MB onboard and can fit an expansion chip up to 512MB. The RAM slot is hiding behind a little panel on the machine’s right side (the power switch is on the machine’s left side).

I purchased this printer for my home office as an upgrade to my old inkjet. The laser print quality is superb and the machine runs quietly. When not in use, the machine is silent and quickly starts when prompted. Overall, I think it was a great investment.My only issue was with the initial set-up. I use a Mac with the latest OS, which conflicted with the installation CD provided with the printer. Visiting the Brother website for instructions was painful as it didn’t directly address what I should do. I started by downloading all available firmware updates for my computer. And, after quite some time, discovered that I had to use the CD to establish the wireless connection set-up. Even though the CD says it won’t work, you navigate into one of the folders on the CD to find the wireless set-up, which did work. Very confusing.I’ve used the printer for normal printing, as well as labels. Label printing is perfect but note that you must feed each label sheet individually through a slot in the front of the machine. It’s OK as long as you’re not printing large quantities of labels. Scanning is a breeze, and you can directly to PDF. The scan feature also has the ability to ‘cut’ a scan into multiple image files if it can detect distinct edges to each item on the flatbed (i.e. if scanning four photos at once).I have only had 1 paper jam so far (and printed a few hundred pages), and although it says to clear the cartridges, I merely open and closed the machine and it cleared the jam.
