Good basic laser printer

The printer has worked OK since I purchased it in early January. The pluses are: Low cost, good print quality, fast and relatively compact. The big minus I have with it and a more expensive Brother printer that I returned is the electrical spike it draws at times when your using it. It causes the lights in my room to blink. No other printer I have owned does this. I have it plugged into a 20 amp circuit. So anyone buying this should make sure you have an almost dedicated 20 amp circuit to plug it into.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Print, fax, and scan work well. PC-Rx software worked when installed but not now. Brother support does not have any information that helps.

I only use this unit as a printer and scanner. After 600 pages the print quality is very good even on the toner saver mode. Just replaced the toner cartridge, very simple. The scanner has TWAIN drivers which I require and the images are very good. Scanner is not as fast as our other stand alone scanners, but this unit cost half as much as our other scanners and it prints too. The print bypass is only single sheet and a little finicky.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's an over price pile of junk

In my office, this is the only printer we have now. It is constently running out of tonner. Even though it doe save your incoming faxes when you cant get it to work it won't automatically print them when it is up and functioning again. It's constently getting jammed. It has a mind of its own. I hate this stupid thing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not so good

This was my first Brother printer. I've used HP & Canon prior. This is not a good printer. You can't read the LCD control panel even after you adjust contrast as dark as possible. Printing an envelope is a 15 minute project. When I print anything, my room lights go dim so I can imagine how much power it must be using. I've had to call Customer Service twice and both times were terrible. I will never buy another product from Brother.

Great Machine, But Uses Too Much Toner

I like the machine. Instructions for Scanning should be included in the owner's manual...
It took quote a while to learn where our scanned documents were going to. We had a lot of difficulty retrieving them...
Also, the toner cartridges do not yield the number of copies they are supposed to... I buy the TN450 - High Yield. Have gone through 4 in 3 months. Average yield is only about 1000 pages. It's supposed to print approximately 2300.

Love It! Works great with scanner, fax, and copier features. It is really helping me with my extended college courses.
