Nice Upgrade for Modest Home or Small Business Use
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This seems to be geared more for a small business than a home printer - it is rather bulky. But it offers a document feeder and 2-sided printing in color, and a fast print speed - all making printing a pleasure rather than an ordeal. Print quality is very good for home use. Perhaps for printing color flyers and handouts for a business you may want a printer that prints colors more vividly, however. I have not owned it long enough to evaluate the "mileage" of the INKvestment tanks, of course. I set it up as a USB connection to a laptop. Setup went smoothly. Instructions for setting paper tabs in paper trays seemed a bit convoluted, but marks molded into the plastic trays help the user push and pull and turn everything properly. I found that I had a "favorite" or "most used" configuration that I just left alone, and all was fine. There is a sheet feeder in the back top of the unit that holds a modest number of sheets. If the paper in the single large paper tray runs out during a print job, and the same size and type of paper are available in the sheet feeder, the printer will use those while also sending out a "Paper Empty" notice. So you will not have a job stop mid-way through unless its page count overwhelms the sheet feeder stock. The printer runs more quietly than most. The LCD screen displays useful information, including status of a job in progress. It is big enough for normal fingers to hit the correct spot pretty much all the time.

Brother is Best!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I love this printer. I have been a fan of Brother since 2004 when I purchased my first one. It lasted me up until last month when I purchased this one. With more than 17 years use from the last one, it was a no brainer to purchase Brother again.

A bang for the buck winner
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.There is a reason that this printer is always sold out. Performs like a champ and I'm not thinking about how much ink I'm using. Brother always delivers on what they say and of course it is a great value.

Love it!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This printer meets all my needs. Had a little trouble figuring out how to direct print to the MP tray, but got it worked out. My mistake was in trying to use the menu which works for copying, but to print a file the Print screen that pops up on the computer screen is the way to go. LP

Not the greatest
||Posted .Owned for 8 months when reviewed.I thought it would be better. Purchased based on the company name. The printer jams and is difficult to clear. Also has leaked ink inside on a couple of occasions.

Great overall product
||Posted .This printer, copier, scanner and fax far exceeded my expectation. The pdf writer built into the scanner is worth the price. Could not be happier.
