Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is definitely a work horse for a small office or home office or busy home. My kids, wife, and myself all use and need printers and scanners for what we do and having one machine that is convenient for us is a plus. So let's start with setup. Setup was ok. Not the easiest. You have to be a little tech savvy to get this puppy up and running. Using the android phone was somewhat easy. But setting up on PC was not 100% per the instructions. PC said to download the Brother utility. I tried to do that but it did not work. I had to use standard windows setup and look for updated drivers. That worked. Also unlike other brother multifunctional devices this one DOES NOT WORK with scanning to Google drive or another cloud service. You have to have an FTP site already setup. There is a work around to get google drive to do this but I did not venture off to do this. After setup I was up and running. I had 5 PCs connected and 3 smart phones all connected too. Printing was easy. Scanning with phone was easy using Brother app. Scanning via PC Windows scanner was easy too. Max dpi is 300. So if you want more dpi keep looking. But for most office material 300 dpi is enough. If you are doing high graphics keep looking. Printing was super quick. Buffering was nearly zero. And ppm was good. Monochrome resolution was good too. For these specs and for bulk office monochrome high production this is a good work horse. For that I would recommend it for that.

The easiest setup I have ever had for printer/scanner. Took under 5 minutes and I was able to use all of the functions !! Great print and copy quality. Highly recommend you check it out.

This printer was easy to set up and has been reliably efficient since. I've already used it to print 1,000 pages, and I've seen no decline in quality.

Printer has performed flawlessly in every aspect. Clean, precise prints via wifi, excellent scanning and copying. Even the ink cartridge seems to be holding up well for the number of pages printed.

I found it easy to setup (plugged it into the network), and install software for (downloaded software package from Brother website for Win 10). I'm not sure how another reviewer had problems putting the toner cartridge in. I just opened the bag, removed the protective pieces, opened the printer door, and placed it in. Very easy. The prints are sharp as expected. It prints on two sides (duplex) automatically. This avoids the hassle of figuring out how to print odd pages, reload the printer, and print even pages on the other side of the paper. The scanner software is a bit basic. It feels like the user interface is from the early 2000s, but it works. The auto-document feeder (ADF) works well when scanning and is a great convenience. This is the 3rd Brother laser printer I've owned in the last 20 years. I would still have the last one, but I moved states and had a limited amount of things I could bring with me. The first one was a print only model and working great when I updated it with the second. The printer feels light, but so did my previous one which lasted 10 years (and was still running). It's easy to move. Recommendation: Stick with the Brother branded toner. I know this sounds like a paid ad, but it's not. I've been very disappointed with the "refills" and the reconditioned cartridges. The off brand toner may be half the price, but I always got grey prints or vertical lines on the paper. The Brother branded toner always gives me clean, sharp prints.

Only had it a few weeks. It was easy to set up and so far has been working great. I have both Windows and Linux PC's and both have been able to find the printer and print to it no problem.

This printer is perfect for my home office. I have a few products by Brother but this one is definitely essential. I don’t usually need color printing done so this was perfect for me. I can print large documents quickly and be on the go. I’ve had HP, Epson, and other brands but this printer is by far the best.

This is the best printer I have ever owned or used, including several different varieties for my work. Efficient, quality prints and fairly easy to use! Would highly recommend this model.

works as a prionter should. Many options for such a compact machine. ink lasts and its easy to use.

Great printer. I decided to switch to a laser printer after having issues with the last ink jet. I dont print alot of photos and rarely use color anyway. This printer was easy to set up and was a good price.

Awesome Printer, very nice love to look and how it prints , plus able to connect it Via wifi

Excellent print quality, pretty fast and quiet. We are happy to say goodbye to clogged and expensive inkjet cartridges.

This is a great quality printer. It prints quickly and never goes offline like other wifi printers I have had.

I love this printer. It's quick to print and easy to set up. Perfect for what I need.

Great printer. Lots of features. Will print on both sides with the flip of a switch when you select the printer. Solid Construction. Great support from Brother if you need it. Prints 36 pages per minute, a lot faster than my previous HP printer. Paper tray holds 250 sheets. Great print, at $199.99.

Great product. Easy to set up and use. I would recommend this to others needing an at home 3 in 1

We have for years been HP printer owners so when the last one died after only 5 years of very little use, I went to replace with another HP. I bought one of similar size as the one that died. Customer support was HORRIBLE and after one week of use my husband said the black ink needed replacement cartridge, there are 4, one is black they each cost about $70. I can't afford ink replacement costs, especially weekly! I shopped and learned Brother to be reliable brand and learned that lazer cartridge lasts longer and costs less per page and has other benefits. Installation was a breeze thanks to their app and self installing. We've had it for about a month and all goes well. I'm very happy with this choice. My friend who is also HP user has switched to Brother as well for all the same reasons. I recommend this to everyone. Read the reviews, they are all good.

I've had this printer for about a month now and it's been working pretty well so far. Pros: - I've printed maybe 100 or so pages since purchasing it and it has been able to print all my pages cleanly without any paper jams or toner issues. - The ADF scanner works well and has been able to scan multiple pages at a time without issues. - The PDF resolution of the documents I've scanned have all been sharp and clear which I really appreciate. Cons: - Not too big of a deal but sometimes the black and white images I've printed come out slightly darker than I'd like. Overall, I think this printer is a good purchase and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a black & white printer.

Brother makes great printers that last forever. This one proved to be a pain to connect and install on my Windows laptop via WiFi and even more of a pain to install on my wife's Chromebook. Once installed its a great printer, copier, scanner and is very fast printing.

Easy set up. Quality printing and scanning. Very pleased with this purchase.
