The support for AirPrint is dismal. The printer locks up the iPad / iPhone until after the printer warms up and the print finishes. This is unacceptable.
The printer goes into low power mode and does not wake up. The low power, sleep mode, had to be disabled to get the printer to work.
I have the printer away and replaced it with an HP 4001 printer that did not have the problems that the Brother demonstrated. Ow power mode

We understand you're experiencing connectivity issues with your Brother HL-L6300DW machine. We'd like to help. Below is a FAQ that may help you with this issue:
Excellent Printer. I had a Samsung ML-2510 printer for years. Then I found out Samsung printers were bought by HP. HP is awful. I especially like the network connection and the low power draw in standby. The printer only used .54 kWh in 744 hours. It warms up and prints in less than a minute.
I previously had the HL-L5200DW and was able to print from the MP Tray by just placing an envelope or piece of paper in it. Now you are required to open up the the back of the printer, make several modifications to the printer settings to print. Forget about printing envelopes from Microsoft Word, almost impossible. Technical support was useless and resolving the issue.

Brother has long provided low cost decent quality laser printing. Mostly I'm satisfied with the printer. However, it does seem to leave light black smudges on some of the pages and requires frequent cleaning. That is my only complaint.
Love printer - toner$$$ and WiFi not so good - great for USB and CAT5

I had an earlier model HL-L600DW and never had any problem filling a claim for 1500. A few adjustments and it filled out the form perfectly every time. with the 6300 neither of my software companies have been able to make adjustments (up, down, left or right) to get it to fill out a HCFA1500 claim form. This is my fourth Brother printer in this model series and the only one that I can't print claim forms on!! What is the matter with it?
