    it was easy to set up and is working perfectly. my 6 year old canon pixma could no longer handle duplex printing as the paper jammed every single time without fail so i bought this and it prints beautifully!!! i’m mostly using it to print books that i bind so i needed a high quality duplex printer. i’ve printed my first book today on it and i’m super happy, it looks amazing.

    I really like the overall quality of this Brother Multi function machine! I bought the 'factory renewed', and it looks and functions like new.

    Great size for my home office.
    Plenty fast and quite for me.
    Easy to use once you set it up without any documentation.
    Saved $30 by buying refurbished.

    Con -
    Advertised as "White" they sent me "Black".
    Amazon said box contained:"Quick Setup Guide- Product Safety Guide -Reference Guide -Warranty Card & Telephone Cable for FAX. ALL of these items are missing.

    There is a receptacle for ethernet but I can't find any set up reference, so I am strictly wireless.Fortunately YouTube had videos or I would still not know what to do with the Plastic Orange dongle stuck in Ink receptacle.
    The Software, & Firmware, registration process is cumbersome.

    I've been using HP printers for about 25 years. I've never really loved them, but they worked okay for a few years, they were aesthetically pleasing, and the price was decent. When the last one died, I looked at HP again, but I really didn't like their new printer designs and their ink is junk and WAY overpriced. I decided I would try a different brand. The Brother printer checked all the boxes that I was looking for and it takes up less space on my desk. After using it for about three months, I can tell you that I like it a lot more than any of the HP printers I have used over the years. The prints and the scans look great, the software is simple, setup was a breeze, and ink is less expensive than HP (I'm still using the starter ink after three months of almost daily use). If you're a Brother customer or thinking of becoming one, this is definitely a worthy contender in the printer market. I just wish I would have dropped HP and went with Brother a long time ago.

    I’ve had this up and running for about a week. It was very easy to set up even to AirPrint without working thru the app. Very fast printing even using card stock, although it makes a noise as it pulls out the card stock to print but does a nice job. Have not yet tried to print photos or to fax, but will update if there is anything worth noting.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating because of INK issues!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024
    I really wanted to like this printer! I have heard good things about Brother, and truthfully the installation was easy, and I liked that I could print from my phone too. Here's the issue that killed the deal for me - multiple times the printer tells me I'm out of ink. Yesterday I put in a yellow cartridge - but I pulled out an entirely full yellow cartridge - only to replace it with another one that was all the way full. I printed one sheet of paper, which was black and white. Then today I go to print something time sensitive so I can sign it and scan it... and the printer tells me blue is out. I pop out the blue cartridge (which is full!) and replace it with another full, on-brand ink cartridge and the printer isn't recognizing it's own ink. I turn it off, reset everything, still the same issue. I have had issues like this all along. Although I've had the printer 16 months, I've used less than 100 pages for printing and have gone through 3 different cycles or more of each color. I'm SO FRUSTRATED. And after I tried to fix it today with the last blue color, the entire screen of the printer quit working. I'm just done. I have to drive to my office in a different city just to print a document because of this printer! Don't get it, you can't rely on it. Go with something else.

    This printer works well. I have had no problems with it. It does turn off when not needed. So far I'm still using the original ink cartridges that came with it. It is a lot faster than my old HP, and I think the color is better. I can recommend it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024
    This is the second Brother printer I've purchased and once again I'm very pleased. The first is an black & white laser printer. My daughter is starting to receive Homework/projects from school where teachers are requesting they be printed out in color. Honestly I think we are at a point where a teacher can reasonably expect the kids to have access to a regular printer but expecting a color printer is kinda pushing it cause of how much more they cost....anyway back on topic.

    The price isn't to bad and I have to admit the print quality is fairly decent. One of the biggest reasons to choice a Brother printer is that they don't gatekeep their toner cartridges and force you to buy first part toner. They recommend it sure but there isn't any physical or software obstacles that exist solely to force you to buy 1st part toner. You are free to buy whatever you wish, at your own risk of toner quality of course but that seems fair trade off. Setup is fairly straight forward as is connecting to the internet. My only complaint is that if you need this for use with a single computer and it'll be located fairly close to the computer you might want to connect via a usb cable for the sake of simplicity and to eliminate the lag that can occur from printing over the network. So while you "can absolutely" connect via usb to a computer you have to buy the cable separately. It doesn't come with it which I found puzzling cause lets be real the cable would cost the manufacturer like a dollar if that so there really isn't a reason not to include the cable.

    In the end I'd say the next printer I buy will also likely be a Brother.
