Decent Machine

The DCP-7040 fit my needs for a home printer/copier. The toner cartridges are affordable and tend to last quite a while. Set up was straight forward, just follow the directions. The scanner function is pretty slow. Scans are of good quality, but is does take a while. Overall this is a good home type printer copier. If the auto document feeder and scanner were faster, I would have given 5 stars.
I would recommend this to a friend!

iffy

The price was right, and it is lazer, so I bought it. It puts a verticle line down the pages of copies when the originals are fed through the top, for copy mode. It sometimes goes on printing rampages, and other times will "print" unlimited blank pages until you pull the tray out. Then you have to uninstall, and reinstall, which takes an hour and is difficult to do correctly. I came online today again, hoping for a software patch or something to fix this...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Was looking for a small volume copy machine. This fits the need in every way and at less cost than a used machine from a dealer.

Good, as expected

Set- up was easy. Does not come with interface cable but I had one. Prints fast! Prints and copies clear. I have only run a few copies and had no jams and I hope that continues.

No Complaints Here

I had purchased the DCP-7020 about 5 years ago and loved it. We had no problems whatsoever with it, however, due to someone cutting down a tree, we had a power surge and it killed both my computer and printer (even with having surge protector). I needed to replace it quickly and looked around, but this model seemed most appropriate. We've had it about 6 months now and once again, it works wonderfully and meets our needs for homeschooling well.

My wife and I have been very happy with it. Scans perfectly and prints cleanly. Best printer we've ever purchased.

great PDF document scanner
on April 2, 2011
Posted by: denver49
My primary goal in buying this machine was to scan a lot of paper documents into PDF files. Batches of 10 to 20 pages were scanned quickly and easily. Scanning in this manner is a bit noisy but this is to be expected since any automatic document feeder has a lot of moving parts. Print quality is very good. The included software is good, and is not loaded with bloatware applications. Works with 64-bit Windows 7. Cost per printed page will be much less than that of an ink jet machine, even if eventual drum replacement is somewhat costly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product if you don't print envelopes

All other aspects are great and I am truly happy with the product, but this, like most of the Brother devices I have used in the past leaves something to be desired when it comes to printing envelopes. Feeding only one at a time and jamming slows down all the other great progress these machines have. Come up with a multi-feed for envelopes and you will have the best line out there, period. Not printing envelopes, these are the best scanners and printers you can get per cost to acquire.
I would recommend this to a friend!
