I have been using this mfc 6 months and I have not had problems. Brother is a good product. You need to keep it covered so dust will not accumulate. Dust mess up the fax feeder.

Great printer horrible documentation

Purchased this printer because of the wireless capabilities and features and it works as stated and more. However, setting up the wireless isn't for the faint of heart. It wasn't until the second day and many Google searches later that I found a remote forum post of some admin web interface vs using the keypad.
Great! Except the passwords and users names took yet another hour scouring the web to find the defaults.
None of these facts are in the documentation, i nearly had to call tech support.
However, having said all of this, once you get past the utterly horrible docs, the printer, scanner and other features work flawlessly and I have no issues with it.
You just have to be a genius with Google to get it configured.

This is the second Brother printer I have owned. The first one lasted 5 years and I got this one so I could go wireless. I have no doubt it will last me as long or longer then the first. It was not complicated to set up and all functions were working within a short time. Thanks Brother -keep the reliable units coming!

Easy set-up, does everything well. Having a network printer is the best; printing from the backyard, the basement, etc. Don't know yet about the toner life. This replace a Brother multifunction that replaced a Brother laser that replaced a Brother laser.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good choice

I was looking for a multi-function, laser quality, black printer. I had other printer experiences and knew the Brother was reliable and could take a lot of use. So far, it has met all my needs; I defintely like the larger paper tray and feeder. I'm not one for reading directions, but I have been able to use several functions such as the enlarging option which I also like w/o any frustration. Now, if I use the provided disc, that would be a good thing! My previous all in one, color printer which is smaller will be going to my son, is also a Brother and is continuing to perform admirably.

i own 4 brother printers - they are the best! some are over 10 years old and still going. my only problem with this printer is the wireless software is def flaky on win 7. some machines it works great - some not at all. if they can lock down the software portion it will be a 5 out of 5 star printer

DISAPPOINTED

Not convenient for printing business checks. Must open cover to remove checks. Our checks have a security label on them that is metallic in nature, causes the print on the checks to get too hot and copy over to other checks making the check very messy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
