Compact Brother Monochrome Laser Printer, Copier and Multifunction Printer

Dan Petrescu: The printer has been very easy to install and set up. We setup using the home WiFi and the display menu, no problem. The printer works great and is available for both PCs and iPhones and iPads in the house.
We will report a follow-up after several months of usage.

James E. Traynor: Setup was easy and connecting to the WIFI was great. The printer is working good and the quality of print is great.
My old Brother lasted 10 years and this is why I purchased another Brother printer and the best is that its wireless.

Doug Waugh: I've owned this printer for a week now and it's performing exactly the way it's supposed to. Fairly easy to install the drivers etc. So far so good. No complaints. It's my first Brother product and my last lazer printer was a Samsung (always had problems connecting once it was asleep) This one works flawlessly so far.

Peter M.: Easy to hook up and download drivers off disc, works great good scanner and printing without all the cost of color printers. Used for art jelly pad transfers is a excellent choice .

RC: IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC ONCE IT'S SET UP. MY FRIEND SET IT UP. HE SAID IT WAS EASY TO SET UP. ALL I HAVE TO DO IS PUT IN MORE PAPER WHEN IT RUNS OUT. I HAVE WI-FI IN MY HOUSE AND HAVE TO HAVE TO THE PRINTER START AND FINISH MAKING THE COPIES. THEY LOOK PROFESSIONAL. I HAD AN OLD FASHIONED ONE BEFORE AND THIS IS FANTASTIC. I CAN AHRDLY BELIEVE I MADE THEM (ACTUALLY THE PRINTER DID). IT HAS A LOT OF FEATURES, BUT I ONLY USE IT TO PRINT AND COPY SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T COME FROM THE PRINTER. THE INK CARTRIDGE IS BIG, BUT EASY TO INSERT. IT WILL PRINT AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF SHEETS. THIS SAVES ON BUYING CARTRIDGES THAT ARE EXPENSIVE. WITH MY OLD MACHINE, ONE LESS KNOWN BRAND OF INK MESSED UP MY MACHINE. IT MIGHT HAVE BROKEN BECAUSE IT WAS OLD, BUT THIS LASER PRINTER MAKES MY OLD ONE LOOK LIKE IT CAME FROM THE STONE AGE. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LASER PRINTER. IT'S EVERYTHING YOU COULD NEED, PRICED WELL AND WORKS LIKE MAGIC.

Michael Boston: I've had a home computer of some sort since before they were common, so I've used a lot of different printers over they years, from daisy wheel to dot matrix and for the last couple decades ink jets.

I don't do a lot of printing so I always had problems with the ink jet printers drying out when not used often enough. Then when I would go to use them they wouldn't print unless I installed new cartridges which gets expensive fast.

I was looking at laser printers for a while as I don't have to have color, but even the b&w versions were just too expensive at first. But the prices fell after a while and when I saw this one for $199 I had to at least try it and see if I liked it.

I love it! I've only had it for 5 months so I can't speak for it's long term reliability, but right out of the box the print quality was very good, setup was real easy and it's plenty fast enough for my needs. I also like that it holds a lot of paper and easily prints two sided if that's what you want. So far the feeding has been stellar as I haven't had to clear even one paper jam so far.

I gave it five stars because I haven't found a single flaw in it so far....

Chad Fredericks: We're a very light printing household - maybe 3 or 4 times a year and usually 10 or less pages. Id absolutely had my fill of having to spend $30+ every time we wanted to print as the ink had dried up, and then $50 every 2 or 3 years as the cheap printer broke. Last time we bought a higher end Canon printer and while it lasted longer, it still ate ink as quick as the cheap ones. It was also "wireless" although it was very finicky and rarely worked correctly, so I almost always plugged in to avoid the hassle.

Found this reasonably priced laser and I'm absolutely in love. The wireless works 100% perfectly with no hiccups from phones or computers. Printing is fast and crisp. My favorite part is we had a 6 month gap between printing, and it ran like new, something our old ink jets would've struggled to do. I also really like the feed tray copier function as we'd have normally went to a print store to make copies like that as its too slow to make copies on the a regular flat plate scanner.

TwinMom: This is a good basic MFC printer. It lacks features of more uptodate MFC printers and scanning and setup is more complex given there is no touchscreen. It seems to use up a lot of toner more than what the manufacturer predicts. Pretty noisy machine as well. Small footprint.

Overall - if you are looking for a basic MFC for home occasional use and basic functions (printer and copying), this works well. However, given it goesn't have a touch screen and lacks more advanced features. If you do lots of printing, scanning and such - I would recommend a higher model.

For my specific basic purposes, this works at a good price. But I would recommend a higher model with more features and a touch screen.

Aidan Sonoda: This is my first laser printer and about 2200 pages in, it is shaping up to be a huge win in usage costs. I don't print a ton and certainly not dozens of pages at a time and never got close to the kind of yields promised by ink jet printers. This printer has lived up to its claimed prints per cartridge and delivered exceptional cost per page (about 2.5 cents per page for me so far). Printer delivers excellent quality text and fairly bad, but usable graphics. While the graphics are a bit of a disappointment, they are fine for the charts and line art stuff I might use for work, but not good for the pictures I used to include on my recipes. Still, removing pictures of food from my instructions for making food is a small price to pay for reliable, cheap printing … even if I really really like food (which I do)! Setup was simple and Linux support was flawless, a big plus. Large paper reservoir (much larger than any of my previous printers) is also a nice feature. The ADF is a bit of a let down, though it feeds reliably and reasonably quickly most scans end up noticeably skewed. Everything looks crisp and legible, just not straight. This can be fixed in software, but...
