Just Buy It

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024

Two months in, and I can honestly say this is a fantastic printer. Even though I work in IT (or perhaps because I work in IT), I really appreciate when technology just works. This printer has not disappointed yet. If you're looking for a solid, dependable, easy-to-use B&W laser printer, I don't think you'll find a better one out there than this one. (If you're a long-time HP printer user, switching to Brother will be a breath of fresh air.)

Pros:
- Doesn't forget the wireless network (always available)
- Prints quickly from any device we have (Chromebook, Windows 10, and Android devices)
- When adjusted, print quality is very good (I keep mine on 300 dpi to squeeze as much life out of each toner cartridge, but I was very surprised when I increased it to 1200 dpi for a document that was very light)
- Scanning resolution is very crisp

Cons
- B&W only
- I've not had a lot of luck with the scan button on the front of the machine, but when I use the associated scanning software and select "scan" from the software, it works 100% of the time

Overall, I'm quite impressed with the ease of use, quality, and functionality of this product given its price point. I wanted to stay under $300, and I wasn't disappointed.

Great, inexpensive black and white printer.

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2024

I have had another Brother printer, b/w, very similar to this. I just got a new computer and now my old (10 years) printer is not compatible. Brother is not putting out a printer program for my old printer and the new operating system. So... I needed a new printer. While aware of the ongoing support issue (no more support for my older printer), I still decided on a similar b/w printer for the future. I rarely need color, and this type of printer is so easy to use and so economical, I had to get one. I am hoping both computer and printer last a long time. This printer is not as small as those with different colored tanks, but the cartridges are about $70.00 and they last a LONG time. If you regularly print fliers or bulletins, you'll love this printer.

Just the AIO I needed

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Like many others I both realized I didn't need color printing and was getting very tired-and financially weary-of buying replacement cartridges for my ink jet copier/printer. And my most important need is to print out a whole bunch of documents in B&W only at a reasonable price. So this very well built and spec'd multifunction printer fit the bill perfectly.
Brother products are top of the line. High tech, high quality and easy to use. Setup was easy and UI is excellent. Just wish it had duplex scanning..

almost perfect ...

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2024

1st off .. solar should have wrapped it at the very least lightly for privacy/security from prying eyes vs simply relying on the manufacturer's box~broadcasting for all to see what you've bought (I would have gladly paid an extra $10 for some wrapping paper .. seriously ????) ..

product review ..
pros:
very good performance/quality if you're not looking for color, heavy duty quantity .. trust it name brand with decades of history unlike the newer companies from China ..relatively easy to set up .. Good thing it was packaged properly by the manufacturer as I was concerned with the long distance travel and it abuse it must have suffered unlike purchasing one in a store which most likely arrived with multiple units on a pallet~less manhandling abuse ..

cons:
tiny little display screen for status and information ..
a lot of superfluous/garbage (IE; solicitations/Spanish manuals IMHO)

*deducted 1 point for attention to detail; lack of wrapping on the exterior (no offense)

.. still would recommend this type and model of machine to others ????

Set Up is simple...if you are a Tech expert!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2024

I read many of the reviews for this printer and was convinced I could set this up (make the printer communicate with my desktop). Not so simple. I followed the directions included and got online to download the "connection guide" from the Brother website. The size of the print from the Brother website download is ridiculously small AND you can't read everything in the frame on the screen AND the scroll didn't work AND I couldn't enlarge the frame! Aaaarrgghh!! (I can't imagine trying to do the set-up from my phone). Then the downloaded "wizard" asks if I wanted WiFi hook up or USB or land line (is one better than the other?). Then the "wizard" instructed me to enter the network name and network passcode. Huh?! What's an SSI anyway? I was stuck.

I ended up calling a computer/tech expert. He laughed and said it is easy to set-up if you know how to avoid the directions provided. Over the phone, he walked me through setting it up from the printer's touchscreen rather than my desktop. Within three minutes and a $55.00 service fee, I was up and running!

My previous Brother printer finally died after 18 years so I did not hesitate to buy another Brother. It easily and comfortably fits on my desk (next to my tower and screen) which makes it super convenient to access. It came with two toner cartridges and the drum. It's not too loud when printing. Because I set it up for wireless, I didn't need any additional cables but I suspect if it was hooked up non-wirelessly, I may have needed another cord that was NOT provided. I am very pleased with the printer so far. I strongly suggest you have access to a tech guru (or maybe a teenager?) to help walk you through the set-up rather than relying on Brother's website download.

Great Printer!

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2024

Works very smooth, the scanner feeder is what I really needed, works great without hiccups. The ink is cheaper than my last printer. Would definitely buy again.

This is my 3rd printer

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024

This is my 3rd printer from brother same model, the first one lasted about 5 years, i did have to replace the drum 2 or 3 times, one time i just reset it and the other i got a generic brand and it sucked, printer qualit did go down. The second one i got as a back up for another office. They seemed to connect great when plugged in dirrecty to internet, on wifi every somany months it would disconnect and the screen its so small it took for ever to type in the password. I would get another one if this one breaks. Also this is used in an automotive repair shop and even tho it sits in the office, it gets dusty and we print a lot. It held up with no issues. Really impressed with brother
