Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you’re a small office/home office that prints under 1500 pages/month, this is an excellent machine. Brother has built a solid, first class printer with one of the easiest set ups I've encountered in any home device. PROs • Easy setup. Took under 10 minutes to pull out of the box, remove the packing material, insert the toner, and set up the wifi. The touch screen makes it simple to enter a wifi password. A couple of nice touches: 1) As you type in the password, it does not mask your password with asterisks so you can catch errors right away; 2) The printer can only connect to 2.4 Ghz wifi band and will not display the SSID of 5 GHz networks. I've more than once tried to connect other home devices to the 5 GHz network only to discover later they only operate on 2.4 GHz networks. Once connected, the printer will check for firmware updates, of which there are two which are installed sequentially. • Excellent 25 ppm speed (color or b/w) and quiet output. • 250 sheet input capacity is greater than most printers in this entry level class. The extra capacity does add height to the machine, so make sure the dimensions will work for you. • Easy networking or printing from phone/tablet. Once turned on and added to my network, it automatically showed up as an AirPrint printer on my iPhone. • Also a nice touch, the printer was properly named on my wifi Xfinity wifi network. Often when I add a device, the name shows up based on the networking chipset which may have nothing to do with the product. • Sharp, clean output for both text and graphics. Excellent color and saturation. CONs • The manual paper tray for envelopes, odd sized paper, labels etc can only feed one sheet at a time. You will not be able to load a stack of envelopes, for example, and print out addresses on them. (The paper tray takes Letter, Legal, Executive, A4, A5, A6, and Folio (8" x 13")). • Pages curl on two-sided printing. Depending on the type of paper you use, it may flatten out after a while, but you will definitely notice curling when printing two-sided. Printing one-sided did not curl the paper. • No edge-to-edge printing. The print area will enforce a 0.16 inch (4.23mm) margin on all sides. • Heavy – weighs around 40 pounds. • USB 2.0 only. If you plan to connect this directly to a computer, you cannot use the faster USB 3.0. There's a lot to like but I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because of the page curling and single-page manual feed…two items that will irk many offices. Regardless, I still recommend the printer.

It is an amazing product, price would be better, but it’s perfect

Awesome printer for all color photo projects! Lots of options and printing is fast and reliable! A must have for all brother users!

This printer was easy to set up for wireless printing. Print quality is good. Very happy with this purchase.

The printer is exactly what I wanted: color, laser, reasonable price, wireless, fast, easy to set up and use. My main use is for downloaded files or pictures that are best seen in color, not B/W. Also used for some created stuff my family does that need not be on photo paper. The biggest advantage to laser is the cost per page is so much cheaper then inkjet. Also there is less chance of smudging or water damage.

Bought this to be able to print faster for tax and book keeping purposes. Easy to set up, fast, very pleased!

I have had an old lazer printer for years that I truly loved, however I wanted to upgrade to a color printer. I chose this printer for several reasons, reviews, price, ease of use and cost of ink/toner replacement costs. So far it has completely met my needs. Setting up was a learning curve. But not so difficult as to prevent an inexperienced woman to do. I also like that I can order the black in separately. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Great quality color laser (well, LED) printer. I upgrade a literal 13 year old Brother laser printer to this model and I have no regrets. The wireless printing option works very well within my all-Apple ecosystem at home. Set up was relatively simple (minus typing my wireless network password using the very small resistive touch screen without a stylus, but I managed). Would recommend fully.

After a month with this printer and printing various paper types and shapes, this is the best printer I've ever used. I don't need copying or scanning or faxing because it's not 1996 and all in one usually means something if not all is getting looked over in terms of quality. Going from sub-100 laser printers that gave out every few years to this beast drives down the fact that you get what you pay for.

good quality color laser printer at an affordable price, very simple installation and setup

This is a great printer I am using it is high quality printer

This is a great printer for the price. Easy to use and set up.

Prints well, works as expected and very easy to install. I like the ability to use generic toner.

Its really good printer i had no issues with it ..

Recently had two printers go out within weeks of each other they were top of the food chain types, when we asked for repairs they were not able to fix them. So the owner went shopping and came back with two of these. We have had no issues and they print as well as the $$$$$more expensive ones. I use mine all day everyday and have no complaints Print quality is great holds half a ream of paper so i fill it every other day but otherwise great printer

Fast printing, easy to set up and good price, all pros on this printer.

This printer has a great quality print with an easy setup. It is moderate in size but will fit a home office perfectly. Printing is fast and the colors are bright. The only thing, I think I've heard before but it is not a dealbreaker for me, is that it does curves the paper after printing. I have printed cardstock with it and it does a great job except for that slight curvature that's left after printing. Overall a great buy and a great price!

I have tried several at home printers and have had nothing but problems!! This one has been fantastic!! Super easy to hook up, stays online, and of course the ink doesn't dry up between uses!! The ONLY thing I wish I could change is the size!! Which I know is not possible because of the cartridges! I love this machine!!

Love it so quiet you hardly know it is on. Kind of heavy but it does a great job.

Prints good. Easy to setup. Use with both Windows and Mac. Good value for price.
