Need clear guidance on network capabilities

I was told by Brother support that printer and computer had to be on the same 2.5mhz network. I have router with 2 frequency capability and I prefer the computer to be on 5. I was able to operate the printer on a separate network than the computer at 5mhz on one computer but not the other. There should be discussion of how to do this. Both are Macs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The printer's speed on printing is terrible..it prints a page and there is a 15 second delay between printing l other pages
This is extremely terrible for my business. I was impressed with Bothers laser printing but not with this one. The delay also occurs when faxing. If there is a better way the get better results I would like to.hear it.

Great, a couple little flaws i can live w/

FAST!! sips ink!
flaws: top document feeder very fussy about how you insert the pages-- have to get documents in perfectly or they curl and jam; however machine designed to get paper jams out easily. Spot where copies exit allows only about 8 pages to come out before they fall on the floor-- need to man; however, copies are super crisp and do not smear-- beautiful. The latter could me my problem as well as faxing steps. Have not tried to scan yet. Even with these little flaws, I love it--the print feature-- works every time, no baulking, same with copying.

Best printer I have owned!

What I like most is the two trays. When I print recipe cards, I use the back tray. Other single tray printers require taking out the tray, resizing and putting it back in. Then you have to take it out again and resize for normal paper. This one, I leave the 4x6" cards in the back tray and it auto chooses the tray. It prints so fast! And the quality is great! Love it! It found my wifi without the hazzle. Love it!

The only issue I have with my printer is the fact that the ink is so hard to find.

Good value, but missing a key feature.

Although the printer has multiple paper trays, you cannot set it up to automatically print on a letterhead paper from one tray, and the rest of a letter on plain paper from another tray. Therefore there is no way to batch print a series of letters. You need to manually remove the paper tray and insert the letterhead paper for each letter, one at a time.
