Affordable printer & ink. Easy set up.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought printer last week. So far it has been great. We use it for occasional use for work, school etc so we didn't need an expensive model for anything fancy or high tech. Very easy set up via Mac and iPad. Wireless connectivity works well, no issues. I printed a photo just to test the quality and I am very impressed, same as in store printing. It is a bit slow to print, especially with the photo but for our needs it works just fine. Ink refills are less than 25$. I am very happy with this product thus far and would definitely recommend.

Great for home use!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm currently using the basic ink that was included in the printer and it prints just fine. I've printed full pictures without any weird lines in the middle. No hiccups and setup was extremely easy to do. It's smaller than I thought, which is perfectly fine for me, since I don't have a lot of space to put this. Came packaged tightly and packaged well. I got this so it would help with setting up a business and it has no problems in doing the essentials for a small home business. Brother is definitely the right choice.

Simple and Straight to the point.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brother keeps it simple with this all-in-one WiFi printer. Set up is a breeze, the image quality of color prints are good, not much ink is wasted, and copies are reproduced quickly and accurately. The selection of menu items, settings, and functions are few and to the point. It’s simplicity, wireless connectivity, Apple AirPrint compatibility and mobile device printing capability is what makes it great.

Great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This brother printer is my favorite. I have an older model and needed to buy one for my vacation home. This was the only one I considered because it’s very easy to set up and use. The price is so right. No need to belong to a ink program like other printers.

Winner!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In short, Brother brand ink jet printers are .. winners! This is my second MFC type printer from Brother. My last one was just replaced/donated because .... it would never break down, and I just wanted to experience newer technology. Setup was ultra simple, and the print quality is excellent. I fully expect this printer to be trouble free for many years just as the last Brother MFC all-in-one printer I purchased.

Great simple Inkjet All-In-One
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pros - One of the few All-In-One inkjet printers that still has separate CMYK cartridges so you're not forced to buy an entire color cartridge if you only run out of one color. Easy to setup and use and not too loud. Paper tray is underneath, and paper exits front, so you can put it right up against a back wall. Works great wirelessly with a Windows 10 Pro PC. Cons - It will turn itself ON (no, I'm not joking) to clean itself if it goes days (4 or 5?) without use. It wont do this in the middle of the night, but it will do it during the day, then turn itself back off.

Q: QuestionHey can this printer print labels with a Avery Label sheet?
Asked by LaBelle.
- A:Answer Nope. I tried and it won't feed the sheet in more than 2 inches. Contacted Brother was told this machine won't print labels and doing this will void the warranty. This info should have been included in the product description or on the box. Would like to have known prior to purchasing.

Q: Questionis this printer work if I refill only the black ink ?? or it requires to refill all other colors?
Asked by BSBS.
- A:Answer We read previous answers that said we could print with black only if other colors ran out. And we have managed to do so, however, we are getting annoying messages about yellow ink having run out every time we try to print. I have changed the default print to grayscale, so I hope this fixes it. I found the Brother manual online, and it says that if you run it with only black, air will blow through the other colors and may damage the print head. So, please disregard the previous answer that says you can print black only. So, be aware of this before you buy. Here's what the user guide says: Print using only the black ink cartridge when the Color cartridges have run out. Basically, your Brother machine is designed to stop ALL printing operations when any of the ink cartridges are empty. This is to ensure the life of the print head and maintain premium print quality. If the unit were to continue printing, print jobs and cleaning cycles would suck air from the empty cartridge and damage the print head. However, your Brother machine exceptionally can operate in a B&W Print Only (black and white) mode when one or more color ink cartridges are empty. When a color cartridge is empty, an error message will appear on the machine's display (hereinafter called LCD) of the machine stating B&W Print Only Replace Ink or B&W 1-sided Print Only Replace Ink. Follow the steps below to print using only the black ink cartridge: STEP1 Verify that the unit has message on the LCD If the LCD displays B&W Print Only Replace Ink or B&W 1-sided Print Only Replace Ink, continue to STEP 2. If the LCD displays other error messages (for example "Cannot Detect"), refer to "FAQs & Troubleshooting" for information on the error message you are receiving. The items listed below can cause the Black & White Print Only mode to end and the color ink cartridge will need to be replaced: You can use the machine as a Black & White printer for approximately four weeks. This depends on the number of pages you print. If you unplug the machine or remove the ink cartridge. If you select the Slow Drying Paper option on the machine or in the printer driver.
