If your not in a hurry
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has got to be the slowest print time. From the point when I press print to the point of paper being completed.

Toner Change Issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had issues when it was time to change the toner. When new toners were installed, the machine still indicated that that the toner needed to be changed; therefore, I could not print going forward. Took it back to store and traded out for a new unit. After running out of toner again and changing, the same issue occurred. Decided to return this for a different brand.

Would like to return/exchange
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not user friendly, doesn't find wifi easily, slips off line or just stops, it is also a copier only - I was looking for an all in one and somehow the sales person wound up having me buy this on line and it was direct shipped to our office. Displeased to say the least.

A big leap from inkjet printer. It's worth it
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm tired of using inkjet printers. I especially hate the Epson inkject catridges with programmed chips, they forced me to keep buying new ones although there's still a half-full ink. I picked Brother after doing some research. So far I like its superior quality, fast color printing, the duplex capability, plus it works with wirelessly. Also it has Energy Saver feature and yet it still can wake up, print quite fast. I wish they make a CD/DVD print tray adapter or something so that I can print on CD/DVD directly. Brother does make another Multi Function Color Printer that does it but it's not a laser printer, it uses inkjet. I finally selected and bought this one instead. Mostly I need it for my kid's school homework or project rather than printing on a CD/DVD (if ever).

Not What I Expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Always buy Brother printers but this one failed. I tried two and both were junk; one had vertical lines on printed pages and the other would not print duplex pages.

Very disappointed prints dark and dull
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible. We print and it prints extremely dark. Can barely make out any color at all. We never have used it as a result. Collecting dust.

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Won’t buy from Brother again. Died just over two years after purchased (and less than a month after geek extended warranty expired). Typical.

Excellent Printer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The main plus of this printer is that it is 100 percent compatible with Windows 10. And even better the installation is a cake walk, so so so easy. Now; the printer is excellent quality and much faster then my other laser color printer which will not work on Windows 10. The price is absolutely fantastic too when it is on sale. Also a good deal when it is not on sale. It looks good too.

this is an LED printer NOT LASER printer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.printer works fast, doesn't take that long to start a job like some of the reviews stated. a lot bigger than what i was expecting, sucks that the max width for paper it takes is 8.5 inches for being so big. wireless is confusing & hard to setup. had to call brother to figure it out. & BY THE WAY IT'S AN LED PRINTER NOT A LASER PRINTER, BEST BUY.

Great Printer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my third brother laser printer. I have been using these printers since graduate school. This new color model performs exactly as advertised. I am pleased with the print quality of this unit. The color documents I have printed look exceptional. Highly recommend.
