A no hassle printer - really

After spending too much on ink and dealing with near constant inkjet problems (paper not feeding, scanning crooked, print not clear enough...), I chose this printer. I don't miss color, love the clear type, duplex printing is seamless, scanning is flawless, no midnight ink runs, I love this printer. For my small business, it's priceless. Great value.
This printer works as described in terms of print ease and quality, setup, etc. However, there is a slight problem when working on an Apple system. One cannot set a default and have it hold. After waiting days for Brother support to answer me, they blamed it on Apple. To this day, I have to do six extra steps to print an envelope from the manual feed. This would have been nice to know in advance because I would have purchased a different model or printer. I hope this helps someone else avoid this problem.

The machine was quite noisy especially when dialing a fax message. Once you send the fax there was no notification that the fax had been successfully sent or failed. I had trouble printing labels successfully as the print was skewed and unusable. I found it unusually cumbersome to print envelopes as you must open the rear door and make some adjustments. The display blacked out and only appeared as you were attempting a print, fax or scan job.

We understand you're experiencing issues scanning with your Brother MFCL2820DW machine. We'd like to help. Below is a FAQ that may help you with this issue:
Very efficient printer. Easy to set up and connect. However, one shortcoming is the fact that it does not have a USB port to use a a print port or as a scan to to port.
Printer working good after setup. Setup process made difficult by lack of printed user manual like previous model. Had to stumble through online information from Brother and Microsoft. Not instantaneous by any means. Allow plenty of time. Looking forward to it being as reliable as the 7820N which still works fine but no driver available for Windows 11
