Great Printer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a printer I could get off my desk and put on the shelf of my hutch. Perfect. Works great, easy set up and fairly quick. Though I wish it held more paper, it does hold more than some of the other small try units. Happy so far.

Great so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using this printer for a couple of months. It has been reliable and easy to use. Printing wirelessly and scanning are what I do most with it. I'm happy with it but I purchased the extended warranty because I have a history of having printers break down just before the 1 year warranty is up (mostly HP or Epson brands). My mother has a Brother All In One and it's over 3 years old and working great still so I decided to give one a try.

Easy to use printer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredibly easy to setup. Wireless printing is a breeze, especially through a mobile device. Print quality is good. Seems a little slow. Scanner isn't the best of quality, but a nice feature when needing to send official documents.

Ink saver
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this printer after reading other reviews. We were tired of replacing ink, error readings, expense. Decided to give this a try. Easy to set up and use. Also, Bluetooth capability was not only easy to set up but so beneficial for a quick print from a iPhone or iPad.. enjoying our purchase. It runs a little slower than other printers we have tried aa d as reviews pointed out, does not hold a large quantity of paper. Perfect for our use at home

Exactly what I needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found I needed a fax machine for occasional personal use and I got tired of asking other people to fax things for me. Furthermore using the fax machine at the local office supply store was ridiculously expensive and I refused to pay that kind of money to fax a of pieces of paper again. The printer/copier I have been using was old so I figured I would buy this. I'm glad I did. It works great! Instructions are easy to follow. I'm not very tech savvy but I was able to set it up, install the software and download the app all on my own. The wireless feature is fantastic. I was thrilled when I printed my first document from my cellphone.

Nice features.. meh colors
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This printer went back :( Here is what I liked about it: 1) Awesome support from Brother, I used the chat and they are efficient and polite, always guiding you through the steps, top notch support! 2)Nice apps integration and software. 3)Low cost ink Here is what I didn't like: 1) the paper tray, not too easy to fill with paper at least compared to my previous HP 8600 printer which it was a breeze. 2) A little bit too loud, it has a "quiet mode" though that works pretty well but it does slow down the printing. 3) The most important issue I had it was with the colors that come out, too bland and weak, I changed all settings possible but the colors remained too weak. I need to print lots of pages with presentations and stuff and the colors were just too awful. The experience with this product however at the end of the day makes me want to give Brother another shot for sure maybe with a more expensive model?

Great printer for the money!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After being a big fan of Canon for quite a few years, I became disenchanted when the power module of our Canon printer failed shortly after warranty. I had heard good things about Brother printers in the past, read a ton of reviews on this and other printers, and decided to switch to Brother. We've had this wireless to Apple, mobile phones, and my PC and have had no issues. Print quality is fantastic, and it doesn't suck up ink cartridges. Very user friendly set up (much easier than our two year old Canon) and seems stable. No complaints after three months!

Q: QuestionDoes it scan? I want to be able to use ADF to scan documents that are 2 - 10 pages. I do not want to scan one page at a time. Thanks
Asked by MannyG.
- A:Answer The printer will scan documents. It has a top loader where you place your scan documents face down and press the scan button on the digital display on the front of the printer. It will scan as many documents as you want at one time.

Q: QuestionDoes it support double sided printing? and is it automatic? I'm shopping for printer now and this is the one that looks more promising to me
Asked by joe.
- A:Answer I have only double sided printed once. And yes it is automatic if you choose double sided printing in the options menu. Once you choose the double sided option it prints one side of the page then it sucks it back into the printer and prints the other side of the page. Pretty nifty!
