This is my second, or third, or 4th - not sure exactly how many - Brother printers I have owned. Brother is my go-to brand when shopping for replacement printers for my home office. As with the ones before it, this, too, is an outstanding printer and good value compared to the competition.
After seeing mixed reviews about this product, I went ahead and decided to purchase it, knowing that everyone sees things differently. I am so glad I did! The print speed and quality of this printer is fantastic, and best of all, it's super quiet. I would highly recommend it for small / large business or home use.
I am using this printer in home office and found the assembly was ok, but not great. Some instructions for placement of the various components was a little sparse, but eventually the machine c/o was accomplished. Now the bad was trying to utilize this via WiFi, well I never did get it to lock on the network and stay there. Well fortunately for me, I had Ethernet available and all was well with the printer, I believe this printer is too be used on Ethernet only. Since getting it on the. Ethernet no issue with remote printing, or AirPrint with various IOS devices. It is a little more then needed but I had. It with ink jet printing. Now I only print a few copies a day, but sometimes manuals are printed and then it shines.
Pros: -- Excellent print quality -- Easier to use than the Lexmark that this unit replaced -- Quiet -- Zero paper jams -- Easy to select 2 sided printing
Cons: -- Not as easy to use to print letterhead and labels as the Brother B/W laser printer that I had before
History: I am a fairly heavy printer user. I had a workhorse Brother B/W laser printer that lasted three years before the repair costs exceeded the costs of buying a new printer. I replaced that Brother printer with a Lexmark. Its controls were counterintuitive, and I could not consistently figure out how to print single/double sided. Printing letterhead or labels involved multiple changes to the printer's settings. Fortunately for me, it broke after less than a year. I did my online research and bought this printer. I'm happy so far and believe that I will get 3 years out of this unit.
good colors........now that is hardwired is printing a bit faster...Frustrated with the lag time when wireless. Need to monitor ink usage is and then will review if LIKE printer even more.........
