I have been using impact and ink printers at home for 35 years. My current long term requirement is for fast, sharp, quiet, and inexpensive monochrome printing. Brother hardware and software meet my requirements using latest Windows 10 Home.
This is a replacement for a much older model Brother printer that developed a paper feed issue after many years of service. This model, of similar size and appearance, is faster and provides 2 sided printing on windows 10. End results are clear, clean and sharp 2 sided copies reproduced exactly as formatted. I also like the idea that Brother continues to support this printer with firmware updates. I would have given this printer a 5 star rating if it would provide 2 sided printing using Windows 7. Despite multiple installs and settings configurations it refuses to print on both sides of a sheet of paper on my Windows 7 computer. I also would have liked an ethernet option.
Features are good, if not intuitive (eg envelope printing). It took awhile to get used to the amount of time the printer needs to wake up from sleep mode. But, the print quality is nice and this 2nd printer has been problem free thus far (5 month owner now-my first printer wouldn't print).
