First Class Printer

We have a 3 person law firm and these are the computers we have elected to have at home as we lots of work there. I've taken them on the road to trials. They travel well. Maintenance is easy; Its been three years since we bought the first Brother close to the same model number. I can't say enough good things about these printers. A great buy for a small company or family. I use the scanner often as its easier to email than fax these days.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had this for about 3 months. Works great. Haven't figured out the duplex copying yet but will keep trying. Overall I really like this machine. Fast printing, very good copies, alot of options for paper size and quality. Also use the fax with no problems.

Can do PDF's!

I prefer Brother printers over pretty much all other business printers for many reasons -- one of the main ones is that there software and drivers tend to work well WITHOUT interfering with the rest of the system (unlike those from another printer manufacturer whose name begins with H). Also, In response to the other reviewer who said the printer cannot do multiple page scans into a single file, it is just that he doesn't know what he is doing. All you have to do is either create a custom scan type or change the output of the scan to file to either PDF or TIFF and it does multiple page scans from the ADF just fine. And if you check the double sided button it will do double sided scans from the ADF to a multi-page PDF file as well. This is one of the main reasons I buy the entire MFC-8x80 series of printers in the first place.

It's great so far!

I work for a small business, and this printer has been very easy to set up and use. We have the printer connected to a wireless router, and it's very easy to use all the functions from several different computers. Instillation was a breeze. The scanning software is easy to use as well. We have Microsoft XP home and 7 pro on our computers and everything works great. From reading some reviews I thought the scanner was going to be a bit of a pain, but it's really not. All that is necessary is to put the paper or photo in either the auto feeder or on the glass plate, select the computer, and then press start. Or you can go back to your computer and start the scanning process from there. The software that comes with the printer will also alow you to turn scanned documents into Word or Excel documents. Also, I read a review about someone having problems with large faxes falling off the printer, but there is a flap that you can pull up to keep the paper from doing that. Faxes come in clearly as well, and I like that the printer will ring for incoming faxes. Our old one did not do that. This machine is replacing a Cannon multifunction device for us, and so far I have like all the features of this one better. I also read reviews that said it was very loud, but it just sounds like a normal printer to me. We’ve had it up and running for about two weeks, and it’s been great.

Very Impressed

We had done lenghty product comparisons and read tons of reviews and decided on the Brother MFC-8480DN. We had experienced fax problems with our previous HP mfc and had to change. I continue to be impressed after a month of using this product. Not one missed fax or a problem sending faxes. The software was easy to install and everything worked perfectly in less than 30 minutes. The scanning software is great and very fast. I prefer using it over our adobe acrobat software. The print and copy functions are also very fast and the pages look great. Very happy with this product.

Very surprised with quality and performance

This is my first venture away from an HP printer (in 25 years). We have a busy, 2-person insurance office and I have been very pleasantly surprised at the ease and quality of my Brother printer. I read many, many reviews and looked at the printer next to an HP and decided to give it a try. Have not tried duplex printing yet, and yes, the envelopes do wrinkle (no so much if you let them go straight through to the back of the printer).
There were comments that it was noisy, but I haven't noticed it being any louder than my old printer. Set up was a breeze, under 5 minutes - extremely happy with the purchase.
Scanning is great and easy to accomplish and quality of scanned item is great. I would definitely recommend it.
