    Very happy with my new printer and scanner. Although you can send faxes and make copies with this machine, I don't use these functions. I do use the document feeder a lot and it is so convenient. Install is quick and easy. What's nice is that you can create a one click "workflow". see attachment. I often scan documents to Evernote and that's very convenient as well. I have it hooked up with USB and WiFi. I would recommend to check out Brother's Refresh auto ordering program. There's a 2 month trial.

    Good budget AIO; lightning-fast B&W, just OK color

    BOTTOM LINE This Brother wireless AIO inkjet is a good, full-featured budget model for light-duty home/school/very small office printing needs that doesn't need to occupy acres of shelf-space. The flip-up front panel is very convenient with actual buttons to press as opposed to fiddly touchscreen controls; and the color LCD display, while tiny, provides a good deal of useful information and step-by-step instructions when needed. There's a handy auto-document feeder up top and built-in duplex printing capability. Black and white text reproduction is very good with crisp, well-defined edges produced at stunningly fast print speeds. Color and photo printing is quite a bit slower and while image quality is decent with smoothly rendered images without typical inkjet blockiness, stippling, or color bands, colors themselves tended to come off a tad washed-out and under-saturated. FEATURES AND SETUP On paper, the MFC-J1010DW has a lot to offer. Along with wireless connectivity (though 2.4Ghz only!), the printer includes an Ethernet jack for network printing and a USB port for a single-PC connection. If you need fax capabilities, this one offers a 40-number phonebook with 6 different calling groups and broadcast capabilities of up to 90 numbers at a time using the phonebook and up to 50 manually entered phone numbers. We don't have a small business so I can't imagine why you'd need to send the same fax to so many people at once, but that capability is there if you need it. The single-sided auto-document feeder holds up to 20 sheets of paper while the main paper tray fits up to 150 sheets. Sadly, there is no option to load photo paper into a separate feeder or designated section of the paper tray--if you want to switch paper types, you have to completely empty the paper tray, load the new paper, and then adjust the paper settings in the printer's menu. However, in a small but much-appreciated bit of usability design, Brother included a very large and easy-to-understand color image in the bottom of the paper tray that demonstrates exactly how to load and orient pre-printed pages or letterhead into the tray so you never have to wonder if you need to load new pages face-up or face-down with the headers at the top or bottom of the tray to get properly oriented printer output. There is also a very small paper catcher that unfolds out the front of the paper tray, and a small flip-up paper stop at the back end of the auto-document feeder; but in general, the printer remains very compact and streamlined without the need for a protracted bit of pre-printing assembly of paper feeders, extra trays, or other do-dads that unfold or clip into place requiring several additional inches of clearance out the front, back, or sides. Unlike some other compact AIOs we've used, this one features some extra slack in the hinges of the scanner bed cover so you scan or copy thicker items like pages from an open book. Hardware (optical) scanning resolution is very respectable with 1200 × 2400 dpi from the ADF and 1200 × 600 dpi on the flatbed scanner glass. Printing output via Windows caps at 1200 x 6000 dpi at the highest quality print settings--these are some respectable numbers for a budget inkjet. You also get separate physical buttons on the front panel for color or B&W copies with the capability to make reductions down to 25% and enlargements up to 400%. Setup took about 8 minutes from opening the carton to getting the unit online--the small color display features handy photo guides to walk the user through each phase of the setup. Menu navigation can be a bit frustrating at times as some items are deeply buried under some non-intuitive menu categories and headers. Keyboard entry using the tiny on-screen keypad and physical arrow buttons is also a tad clunky as cursor movement does not naturally skip empty spots on the screen, you have to arrow up/down and back around a lot of empty spots on the screen to reach some of the keys you want to select. The MFC-J1010DW supports AirPrint so you don't have to use Brother mobile app for printing from a phone or tablet if you don't want to (I chose not to). For the PC, you have the option to download just the printer and scanner drivers, or you can add in some additional utilities like the Brother iPrint&Scan application, wireless setup troubleshooting helpers, and some pro-level print and driver management tools for those of you who need to administer the printer on a larger network. I did download Brother's recommended full driver and software package just to see what the iPrint&Scan app was like. Honestly, iPrint&Scan is a very simple and easy-to-use scanning and file printing interface that would probably be useful for those who are not quite so tech-savvy--the interface is clean, intuitive, and there are relatively few options to be concerned about other than finding the file you want to print or specifying scanning resolution and where you want to save the file when you're done. IN USE The printer supports "quiet mode" which supposedly reduces sound output in favor of slower printing speeds; however, I found the printer very quiet during operation and left this feature off. Using plain paper, a full page of B&W text took less than 3 seconds to print (!!!); a mixed media document with a few color elements and text took 15 seconds for a single page. Photo printing was another matter entirely--a best-quality print job on 4 x 6 glossy photo paper took about 51 seconds to complete once printing actually started (with a few additional seconds of delay tacked on for the file to transfer wirelessly to the print buffer); a borderless 8.5 x 11 color photo took nearly 2.5 minutes to finish. I don't print a lot of photos on our inkjets so the somewhat lethargic photo printing speed wasn't too big of a concern, but I did feel that photo output in general lacked some of the pop and deep, rich colors I was hoping to see, especially when rendered on high-quality photo papers. Sadly, Brother offers no sample papers of its own in the box so you cannot audition any Brother-branded products to see if the results would be appreciably better than with other manufacturers (we used Canon and HP photo papers, FWIW). For an occasional color print job or for "disposable" photos that go on the fridge or head to school with your kids, you probably won't notice or care much about the lack of stunningly brilliant colors; just don't expect to be making archival quality or frame-worthy photos when the mood strikes you, either--this IS a budget inkjet after all.

    Setup Process was simple. The setup took 10 minutes from opening the box and configuring it. Windows 11 and Mac OS found and installed the drivers quickly. Setting up the app on mobile devices was easy enough as well as it found the printer via the Wi-Fi connection (for context I have an Amplifi Alien Wi-Fi 6 Router) The Brother app on PC is a little clunky (like most standard printing applications) so I just use the built in Windows controller. Scanning works as well. Cons – Doesn’t hold as much paper as one would need. Printing in color is a slow process, especially when printing multiple pages. Windows app is clunky and slow even when installed on a machine that has 2 M.2 SSD’s in RAID 0 config. Pros – Easy to use. Windows detected the drivers prior to me installing the software. Using Windows built in controls, printing is easy and painless. B/W/Monochrome printing is smooth, there’s no blotching on the paper or bleeding when printing in color. The mobile app works wonders especially when scanning so you can save the documents directly to your mobile device. Mobile printing is fast and easy as well and scales nicely when transmitted from mobile device to the printer. Overall – Great product, clunky app. Would recommend this over any HP printer, just need to buy the add-on to hold extra paper. But overall, a great addition to any home office. I think Brother should have included a larger supply of paper and spent more time developing a modern app for administering Print/Scan functions in Windows. I assume that at least in my case this is still the most used device printing in the average home. I did find my wife became frustrated waiting for the pages to come out when catching up on work at night compared to our other printer in the house. In the end she cancelled the job and printed the next day at work. Naturally that defeats the purpose of a home printer/scanner.

    I always appreciate a good wireless printer. And Brother has always given us really good quality printers. This is my third one so far and I love them more and more every time. This one come with everything needed for my heavy printing workload. It comes with a phone cord, but isn't nessecarily needed, as this is fully wifi capable machine. You can print from your Windows PC or Mac Airprint devices. Also my favorite is printing from my Androis device on the fly. It holds up to 150 sheets in the try and can copy up to 20 pages in the feeder , so it's super convenient to copy tax papers or multiple documents from the office or class. You'll get four ink cartridges ( red, yellow, blue and black) and it's surprisingly fast for an ink jet. 15 to 20 pages a minute, to be more specific. With a full color display, it's very easy to read and operate. I do advise writing down your password, because it will need to be updated, as most Brother printers do. And that can grow to be really annoying if you can't remember that stinking password. It's really easy to set up and can be used from around the room , as long as it's on. I've got it connected to at least 5 devices at the moment. I do recommend this printer for small businesses & students alike. You can't go wrong with a Brother.

    The Brother - MFC-J1010DW has decent print quality & can fax, quickly print, scan, and copy. At this price point it is nice to see that it can manage 20-sheet ADF for faster bulk scanning & has two-sided copying, again not normally seen as an option on budget printers. Negatives: If you want to easily update the firmware via Brothers Mobile Connect you must create an account. As an alternative, you can manually update the firmware from printer using the password provided on the back of machine. Setup is simple with paper instructions & following prompts on LCD screen. Print quality wise black text and mono photocopies are fine with photos good enough for occasional use, but in this demographic folks cares more about color prints and copies on plain paper. With useful features and reliable performance, not a bad choice for home office, especially if you need fax. You are getting a lot of bang for buck here with Brother, a company that has a reliable reputation in the corporate business world.

    So far so good with this Brother - MFC-J1010DW Wireless Color All-in-One printer. we purchased it after our HP died and it is fast, quiet and prints very well. The setup was relatively easy except for the size of the display. It is tiny and once you have it set up it's no problem but when I was trying to connect it to our router I had a hard time keying in the password. I am an old person with poor eyesight BUT they could have done a little better IMHO. All in all it's a great printer so far. I would highly recommend it.

    Full color duplex printing saves paper. Bright and clear print quality. This is a multi-function workhorse. Yet the Brother MFC takes up very little desk space. The bottom tray holds 150 sheets of paper so no need to worry about running out of paper when you go to print. Separate ink cartridges for Y M C and Black ink. Smear-proof prints ink stays on the page. If you still can get it the unit can send and receive FAX documents. The 20 page scanner does a great job archiving documents. Or use the scanner glass for photos or delicate documents. All this wirelessly. There is a printer connection port located inside the center of the scanner which I found supports both printing and scanning. You must supply the cable, which I already have plenty of. I was happily surprised how fast I was able to add the printer to my home network. And the printer was then visible to all my devices; iPads, android Motorola Stylus phone, laptops and work PC. With the right app the printer is even usable while away from home. Just send the pages to the printer and they are waiting for me when I arrive home. Its also easy to keep tabs on the remaining ink levels. Quiet and quick in a small space.

    The Brother MFC J1010dw is perfect for our home. After unpacking the printer I realized it comes with everything you need expect paper and a usb cord. Since I’ve had printers before that was not an issue. I have plenty. The quic setup guide made for an easy 12 step start to printing. The black color is good for any office. The size it pretty typical for most printers and we don’t have a big space to work with so this worked good. I like that there is a printer, copier and scanner. I don’t use the fax so I didn’t set up the phone cord. But it’s there if I need it. The ink is really easy to install. Take it out the packaging and slide and click in place. Load paper which I used around 20 to 30 sheets at a time, that’s just how I do things. And there was plenty of space for more. Make sure to remove all the plastic tape. Set the date and time which is a very cool feature for a printer. Check the print quality, I didn’t need to adjust so I cleared the LCD, set language, select the correct receive mode and set your station ID. Last part is the connecting the mobile devices. Overall I really like this printer.

    Great printer. I must say was surprised by the weight of the box, it's a tad heavy, and shows as the printer is sturdy and feels very well built. Setup was easy and they include a starting set of ink (black and all colors), a telephone cord (for the fax function), a manual and power cable. The set of inks are the basic ones, but they mention they also sell them in "high capacity" tanks. A USB cable was not included, so you either provide your own or set up the printer as wireless (which you should). I love that the ink tanks are inserted on the front, the printer has its own little flap/door to insert them. Most other printers you have to lift up the scanner bed to access the ink tanks, not this one, its a separate door on the front, very convenient!! Once I inserted the inks, the manual suggests you print a test page and you should also print the head alignment. I did perform this just in case (it prints a head alignment page and then you scan it with the flatbed scanner and the printer will tweak the printer heads). Setting up the wireless connection was easy, I downloaded Brother's software from their website and following and setting it up was easy. Print quality was good and fast enough for me. I love that the printer can print pages on both sides automatically without any intervention (I love this feature, helps save so much on paper and trees of course!). You can scan from the flatbed or the paper feeder. The LCD screen was big enough and clear to see. I have not tried the FAX function yet, but I'm pretty sure its just your standard FAX. I also love the page gauge feature, it will tell you how much ink you've used and how much you have worth in pages. I will be buying their high capacity tanks once the included tanks ran out (you can also subscribe to their auto ink refill service, that's optional). Highly recommend this printer for home or a small office/home office, you will be saving money!!

    This Brother 1010 is great. I was lucky to use last year's model. This version pretty much the same version but different in color. Setup was a snap. It took about 40 mins. Follow the instructions. Insert ink. Print out nozzle alignment and scan and you are good. Then go through the other electronic connection and brother connection etc and you are all set. So what I did to make life easier for me and my family was that I set up a separate email address for all of our scans to go and we can then all log on to Google drive and pull the scans from one location. This worked really well for the Pandemic operations. The keypad is better than other competitive that make you toggle through up and down arrows and enter keys to enter the data. Better than those other ones. Multi paper scanning is always a plus. Printing is nice and fast. Remote printing option is great. Mobile software was easy to use. I did not use the fax option. I have not used fax in a few years so that might be an obsolete option. Also computer plug in print was easy. I was using windows 11. Nothing but positive experience for me and my family. The only con is the ink amount and potential cost for ink replacement. Something to consider for heavy printing. This is the same as the model 1 above this model. Regardless, I would recommend this product. Super convenient options. My entire family was able to use this with ease.

    I would have to say this all-in-one printer is an essential item for those that work at home and/or own a business. The wireless connection option or simple USB connection to your computer or devices is a gamechanger. Scanning documents wirelessly really helps with productivity and is efficient with this printer. I found the cartridges to be easy to install and the printing turned out quite vividly. Page Gauge is also helpful with informing you of the status of your printer ink, which is helpful. The paper tray capacity is generous and you will never need to constantly refill. The printing is intuitive and easy to do from anywhere. I loved the color display on the printer that is helpful for navigating the various processes and features that the printer has. The abilities to scan, copy and fax is an added bonus and might be especially help for business owners that might need to put a machine like this far from their work desk. All in all, with this printer being very affordable and quite functional - it is an essential work from home and business essential that should bring about greater productivity for anyone that uses it.

    I would recommend this to a friend
