Great printer
on December 24, 2012
Posted by: kido
I bought this printer after my $1500 laser printer stopped working. I did not expect much from such a low priced printer, but was very surprised at how well the printer performed especially the duplexing feature.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Short term satisfaction

Bought this printer in Feb 2012. Was very pleased with speed, print quality, and auto duplex printing. I have used primarily to print tax returns in my tax prep business.
However on the third factory cartridge and I have followed recommended corona wire cleaning etc with each cartridge change, and suddenly I get gobs of black toner on each page printed. I removed cartridge, cleaned corona wire, wiped rollers, and vacuumed all loose toner but to no avail. It is useless to me now and repair costs are more than I paid for it so it is junk for now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

5340 Workhorse

I've been using Brother laser printers for many years. Why? They're 100% reliable. This one as well. Copies are clear, no paper jams, and the option to duplex or not is a wonderful paper-saver. I consider this one my workhorse, considering I make hundreds of copies per week. I have a second one as well - the MFC 8480DN for copyuing, fax, scaning as well as printing. It, too, is a workhorse AND THEY BOTH USE THE SAME TONER! A definite plus. Envelopes, however, come out wrinkled; a small price to pay.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good value for the price

Printing is fast and clean. The multi-purpose tray is not very sturdy and would probably not survive if used by many persons. With reasonable care, this is a good buy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Product works very well.
Recentyl used the duplexer, that worked well also.

Only but big issue is the envelope printing.
They always come out of the printer crumpled up.
Not useable.
Would recommend this printer otherwise

two big disappointments
on December 26, 2012
Posted by: codexwoman
from San Francisco CA
I got this printer specifically for work, so I could duplex print legal documents. I work on a mac with a virtual machine that runs windows (for word perfect). The virtual machine won't talk to the Brother printer, so though I can print from that partition, I can't access the duplex (or certain other commands) in the print dialog box. Really disappointing.
Also, I find the envelope printing really clumsy (opening back door on printer, etc.), so I use my old reliable HP printer to handle that; it's simple, straightforward, and easy to load.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two Brothers printers. They are excellent printers and they produce excellent documents. I operate it wireless and rarely have any problems. The lazer is more economical than buying ink all the time. When I need another printer, I will probably buy another Brother product.
