Big-Boy Machine With One Drawback
on November 1, 2012
Posted by: torrealta
from Oakland, CA
This is the third Brother printer I have bought, and the first one is still working without a hitch with my Mac. The first, an HL-1470N, is a b/w printer with good speed and no problems in @ 14 years. The second is a b/w MFC 8440 with which I added scanning, copying and fax capabilities. Again, good speed and no problems in @ 8 years. I used these in my solo law office to make, in some instances, voluminous filings, which were always on time. They worked for me in my small practice as well as the high-volume machines in large law offices.
This 9650 adds color and wireless scanning and printing. The WiFi scanner needs coaxing at times but eventually works with Image Capture or PDFPenPro. I could connect via USB or network cable, which might make it less fussy. Printing is very good, and the curling issue that plagues Brother printers is absent on this machine. The color seems fine to me so far, but I have no sophisticated needs and have not tried photo paper yet. The WiFi installation occurred as if by magic.
One drawback to this machine concerns envelopes. The manual says that to print an envelope or thick paper, you have to open the back of the printer, throw a couple of plastic switches, close the back and print, then reverse what you did to print ordinary copy paper. Horrified, I tried an envelope without going through all that malarkey and it got through OK. I will consider following their instructions when I print on photo paper.
My only carp is that the second paper trays that I bought for my prior machines are no longer supported, so I cannot use one tray for copy paper and the other for bond paper.

Great machine, but

This is a great machine. It does about everything you could want, and pretty fast. However, I can't get it to copy in duplex mode, either with the autofeed or on the glass. Other than that, I love it..

Great all-around office machine

from Richmond, IN
I have enjoyed using the Brothers MFC-9460DN Printer combination unit. I especially like sending faxes from word or any other document direectly to fax without scanning. The scanner is easy to use and does a fantastic job. I would buy this unit again (o: Hope this review doesn't bring me bad luck and my Unit catches fire LOL

Color Laser Printer
on November 25, 2012

This printer was the easiest to set up in networking. The other major brand I have is a headache to set up with setting the address, etc., the Brother was a breeze as it set the address itself with no conflict. Speed and quality are much better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Big Disappointment
on November 25, 2012
Posted by: PublishingDiva
from Texas
I am very disappointed in this printer. It is made of cheap plastic components and the ink cartridges are way too expensive. I had high hopes for many projects which I've had to pay to print.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

from Sierra Vista, AZ-
I am very please with my printer. It is fast, I love the duplex feature along with the ability to copy and fax quickly, one sheet at a time or several sheets. I have had my printer for about four months and still on the cartriages that came with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

MFC-9460CDN very good machine
on November 25, 2012
Posted by: halex
from Richardson, TX
I really like this machine. Color and scanning are very good. My only complaint is that it causes an occasional audio warning, "MFC-9460CDN off-line" and shortly an, "MFC-9460CDN sleep" warning and I can't figure a way to get rid of it. Nor can I determine why Windows 7 finds it off-line.
