Q: What is the difference between the MFC-L8850CDW and the MFC-L9550CDW other than the 200.00 cost difference?

A: undefined

Q: Will this print a 200 page PDF mixed with 160 letter and 40 legal sized pages? Will it scan 50 mixed sized pages?

Q: Can I scan directly to a USB flashdrive?

Perfect all-in-one for a small business.
We had a lease on a fancy copy machine that was ending. We were looking to replace it with an all-in-one printer that we could purchase. I was worried that we would be disappointed going from something so fancy, but we have not been disappointed in the least! Easy to set up wireless for 4 computers and great black & white and color copies! Just DON'T replace the toner when it first says it is low - I printed at least 200 black & white copies after I got the message!

Excellent all-in-one printer/scanner/copier/fax
My previous Brother color laser printer (not an all-in-one) was damaged in moving. As it happened, this new MFC L8850CDW adds the scanner and fax functions plus a vastly-improved control panel and, yay, happened to be on sale at Best Buy when I went looking for this model. A month with the new unit has revealed no problems. Last night I printed 38 copies of an 8-page booklet (duplex, 4 pieces of paper in each booklet). The printer chugged through this in about 30 minutes, no jams, no overheating. The unit noticeably paused for the one page with color but was faster on the black-and-white pages. I've used 20 pound, 24 pound paper, and 24 pound glossy stock in it. The manual feed worked fine with card stock. The scanner/copier page feed has been excellent. I reeeeally like one pass to scan both sides of a document. This is bound to produce fewer jams than rerouting each page to scan the second side, and I expect does not cost significantly differently. There was no perceptible skew with the sheet feed. My only significant complaint so far is that no matter how carefully I place a page, the flatbed scanner skews more than I like. This corrects automatically in Adobe Acrobat OCR, which I would use anyway for its ClearScan cleanup. Acrobat also produced better OCR results than the software included with the printer. (Ha, Acrobat had better do well for what it costs.) I suppose experimenting and perhaps a piece of tape would let me compensate for this tiny skew. My old flatbed scanner offers higher resolution for handling photographs,but I rarely need that. Tired of junk faxes at the office, I successfully tested sending & receiving fax but then unplugged that phone connection from the printer. It's available if I need it, and with nice reporting and re-send capabilities. This all-in-one is bigger and heavier than competing units. I hope that's a sign of robust over-engineering. I put it on plywood on the floor under a work table. The scanning functions, print output, paper feeds, and controls are still quite accessible but I must be a little more careful of dust. This printer is quiet. Warm-up delay is minimal. Although this printer is on a different power circuit, not on the UPS, nevertheless as with my previous laser printers waking for a print job makes my UPS click and the lights dim a little. It appears that the print cartridges have the same optical sensor as on my previous unit. I wish this sensor issued a one-time warning rather than refusing to print. Or just dispense with sensing; I am capable of judging print quality. With that older unit I got several more months of use from cartridges by putting opaque tape over the sensor. Brother's new touch-screen interface is superb! I wish my big expensive office machines were as well-designed! I use this Brother printer via a wired connection. Though beyond the printer's control, output from Mac OS X is slightly lighter than the same item printed from Windows, even for PDFs. The control apps differ between OS X & Windows but seem functionally equivalent. Printing from a Linux virtual machine worked fine. So far I am pleased with this purchase.

Heavy but Great
It a top notch printer. Bit heavy to carry and may need 2 people especially since the box is big and tough for one person to grip. Installed in 2 mins and works great. Had a b&w brother laser and this company makes it right. Previously tried Epson, HP and Xerox. IMO, this is the best bang for the buck. I would not spend 600$ on it, but its work 350-475$. If you get a sale on it, get it.
