Printer has worked well, prints reports, checks, web pages, etc. I have no complaints about the machine. One quirk that is somewhat annoying - the machine does not "wake" from deep sleep mode with the first print request of the day. I have to reach over and press the power button to wake it from deep sleep. If I don't, the printer software thinks there is an error and the printer has become disconnected.
I have owned Brother printers since the HL 1040. They are work horses. I have very high volume printing needs. With the L5100DN I was pleased with the ease of the install. The set up on the net work was also made simpler. On the net work I have found that the L5100DN has a quicker first page print than the previous 5450DN. I also like the new control panel that is used on the L5100DN. It is easier to follow the new window and not have to rely on just a pattern of lights.The only issue that I have with the Brother printer line is that some Citrix programs do not carry the format through the Citrix universal print driver to the Brother driver correctly.
This printer functions very well. I am very pleased with it. I share it with my boyfriend and he is very happy with it as well. My boyfriend has a question: How can I make printing double-sided the default without going into Properties?
