Comes with Free OCR software
on September 12, 2015
Posted by: StanOuyaFan
Gave it five stars because of the software it comes with. When scanning something to work into word or text editor programs the software works great for a free includes program. Other printers like Epson say they can do OCR but make you buy a third party program for over a 100 to do it.
If scanning documents to editable text is important to you I recommend any of the all in one Brother printers. This Is my Third Brother Printer. All of them are still working after thousands of pages of printing.
Set up was easy, but still needed a little help from Brother. They are very friendly and offer help at no charge for life. I did not plug the right phone line in from my phone splitter during set up. I saw this when set up was done and fixed connection. Thought everything was great, but some fax machines could not receive my fax. Weird so I called brother. They told me to restart printed with no changes need to be made. I was doubtful, but did it and all is now fine.
Apple AirPrint works great
Toner has a good price to page cost, if you want really cheap printing generics work well in this printer
Thought my 83 year old Dad and 73 how to use the software. Has a nice way to make custom scans. Nice when you need to have different scans for different size papers like letter, legal. A4 and so on.
I chose this brother because I need laser, and a flatbed and auto document feeder.
The only downside is that you cannot add a second paper tray for a second size paper. Normally an option on more expensive printers. You can work around this by the front paper feeder slot, make sure you open door on back and flip tabs if needed.
Summery: This and all Brothers are a no brainer. You get a lot of printer for your dollar.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gamers occupy two distinct, staunchly divided worlds. On the move, app addicts tap away at the touch screens of their mobile phones, slinging birds at pigs or battling zombies with flowers and trees. In the living room, die-hard franchise fans disappear into the battlefields of blockbuster video games that explode onto large-screen HDTVs. From these two separate realities, we all want one thing — gaming's best. OUYA is a new kind of console that turns the gaming world upside-down — bringing the open mobile model to TV for the first time. It looks like a piece of artwork, is developed like a mobile phone, delivers high-definition like a console — and yet is so very different from anything you've seen before.Introducing a whole new way to experience games and entertainment on your TV, OUYA runs on the Android operating system — becoming the first and only console to lets you develop and publish your own games. If you can program for Android, you can program for OUYA — it comes with an SDK built in, giving you all the tools you'll need to make, submit and publish a great game. The Android OS also means you'll have a custom user interface and game store right at your fingertips, stocked not only with games, like the legendary Final Fantasy franchise, but also tons of your favorite Android apps, videos from VEVO, music from iHeartRadio, streaming games from TwitchTV and more entertainment options. There are no discs to buy or scratch — download games directly to OUYA. When it comes to taking the action on screen, OUYA does it the right way, with impeccable graphics rendered by the NVIDIA Tegra3 quad-core processor, high-definition picture via HDMI and wireless navigation with the 2.4GHz controller. Bringing the fractured gaming world together and giving the power to the people — that's what OUYA can do. OUYA

Great for XBMC
on April 5, 2014
Posted by: StanOuyaFan
First of all I wish there were not so many OUYA haters, mostly found on other review sites. It is not an expensive game system, but is often compared to systems like PS4 and the likes. You could get 4 of these for that price.
If you go to Ouyalytics dot com, you will find it easier to find good full games for free. We like Wilson. These are the games from the OUYA store, it is just a lot easier to search games there. Then from your OUYA, discover, search and install.
The games are fun, especially for people who enjoy tablet games with the added fun of using a controller. You can find more advanced games for a reasonable price using Ouyalytics too, if you need a more advanced game system feeling.
Retro gaming is a lot of fun for me and many others. It is a bit hit and miss with some game roms. (pressing joystick in will reset) Re Living my childhood with my kids has been fun.We now all love Moon Patrol and Pitfall.
XBMC on it has been great. Im glad they are an official partners of XBMC. If you want full digital surround sound you may have to install an APK. The stock version is very stable, which is most important to me. The quad core really makes a difference with HD content.
The controller is good, but not great. It is possible to use better controllers
on the OUYA. If you search for this you will find out how. I do find that I can easily live withe the included controller.
You can can also use an external flash drive to expand the system. Games can be installed and played from flash, some other systems block this feature. Also an external hard drive can be installed. With programs like VLC player and Plex possibilities are wonderful.
It also has bluetooth, I wish I could say more, but have not tried it.
The system is also an open system, letting you install APK for playstore and the likes, opening up the possibility for more game and programs.
My problem of only one USB was solved with a cheap USB hub.
Systems comes on and off quickly like a light switch.
Sorry I did not say anything negative, I just think its a great fun system for the price. Even if you bought the second controller, it would still be worth the total price maybe even more.
What's great about it: Smooth Xbmc and Retro Gaming and small size
What's not so great: Few outputs
I would recommend this to a friend!

What is best printer to buy that is wireless, copier & fax

Brother has big bank for buck. Software it comes with better than printers in this price class. Price includes OCR software that works well a $100 plus value. Cost per page is low and even lower with generic toner.
Lifetime support
If you fax, it is nice this has the hook button so you can hear what is going on, this helps to determine if a problem is on the other side, or miss dialed number etc

Apple products printed with AirPrint no software needed to be installed. My wireless Microsoft laptops and desktops need brother software to be installed. Call brother if you need help they are friendly
