MFC 8950DW

I had a 2 fold purpose for purchasing this machine:
1. I needed a landline fax to send faxes to IRS, and
2. I wanted a back up printer for my 6180DW for tax season. The 8950 uses the same toner cartridges
We are very pleased with the print speed and print quality. The fax machine has made dealing with the IRS substantially easier. It is now a co-printer instead of the intended backup. We definitely under utilize the full capabilities but it is an valuable asset for our business.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Machine for Small Business

Owned for 1 month in a 10 person office and am extremely pleased with this machine. Complete browser management made it easy to set up individual scan mailboxes, a fax address book and direction of incoming faxes to a network folder instead of printing. Impressively we have so far had only 2 document jams in 4500 prints and 4200 scans.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This has done very well for us. We are a small office but have a lot of paperwork/forms that we print weekly. It has kept up the quality,speed, and reliability we need exceptionally well, and have always had amazing customer service.

this was a bust!

Brother 8950dw is a good idea BUT I could not get the "fax forward to email" feature to work properly after hours of trying various settings and several calls to Brother tech support. Brother Tech support was useless! All they could do was email me troubleshooting procedures which I had already downloaded from the internet and used, but no avail. They promised they would escalate this issue to the next tier of support and they would call me within 4 hours, but I never received a phone call back. I returned my Brother mfc 8950 for full refund. This product is faulty, at least with regards to fax forward to email feature that Brother advertises. If you need/want this feature you better look elsewhere.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Giant Step Backwards
on February 18, 2013

from Boston, MA
Our law office has owned an MFC-8460N for years, and this year we purchased the MFC-8950DW as the old machine is starting to age out. A couple of comparisons to the old machine will suffice to show that this multi-function is a giant step backwards:
1. Old machine could handle a copy job of mixed-size pages (letter and legal) and would simply pull the correct paper from one of its two trays after it was configured. The MFC-8950DW cannot do this. It generates an error message and you have to hit "start" again every time the paper size changes.
2. Old machine would automatically read the size of pages it was scanning and would create a scanned pdf that matched that size (so, with no changing of settings, you could scan in two legal-size pages and create a legal-size pdf, then scan two letter-size pages and create a letter-size pdf). The MFC-8950DW can't do that. You have to set the scan software to anticipate the size of the incoming pages (for each job), and if it is set wrong, the scan will simply cut off anything that doesn't match the expected size.
3. Our old machine can handle mixed-size scan jobs. This one cannot. You can (quickly) scan a whole pile of letter-sized pages, or a whole pile of legal, but if you mix them up the MFC-8950DW will throw an error message and just cut off any part of the page it does not want to read.
The trays cannot actually handle a full ream, though Brother claims they can. Almost a full ream, but not quite, so you will always have small piles of paper that don't fit in when you load the paper.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
