Q: The specs say it is 16 inches in height and 13 in width. It looks wider and shorter or am I missing something?

A: Yes, the dimensions of the printer are 13.4 D x 16.5 W x 6.8 inches H.

Q: Does it scan? I want to be able to use ADF to scan documents that are 2 - 10 pages. I do not want to scan one page at a time. Thanks

A: The printer will scan documents. It has a top loader where you place your scan documents face down and press the scan button on the digital display on the front of the printer. It will scan as many documents as you want at one time.

Q: Do all the J985DWE printers have the LOW COST ink cartridges?

A: high yield cartriges lc20e able to print plenty of pages. PLUS YOU CAN BUY refilling kit and chip resetter to refill the cartridges yourself.

Q: Read all info re Brother printers J 885DW AND J 985DW. Please in simple terms tell me the main differences between the two? ( I think one difference is INKvestment (?) relating to the 985 model , but I am not even sure what that means.). SENIOR- THANX!

A: previous answer seems to be incorrect - no extra ink cartridges what's in box? J 985DW BROTHERS PRINTER Consumables Included1 x cartridge ( black ) 1 x cartridge ( cyan ) 1 x cartridge ( magenta ) 1 x cartridge ( yellow )

Q: does this printer have an option to print in black/white even if the subject matter you print is in color?

A: Yes you can change in your printer options to print in grayscale.

Q: Does it support double sided printing? and is it automatic? I'm shopping for printer now and this is the one that looks more promising to me

A: I have only double sided printed once. And yes it is automatic if you choose double sided printing in the options menu. Once you choose the double sided option it prints one side of the page then it sucks it back into the printer and prints the other side of the page. Pretty nifty!
