Good for Small Office
I have been pleased with the scanning (I do a lot of it). The only thing it does not seem to do or I haven't figured out is duplex scanning (side 1 and 2). There is a function for ID scanning where you can put inside 1 of an ID then flip over and it prints to one page. Printing quality is fast and clean, although I wish it could hold a full ream of paper in the tray. I do not use for faxing so I cannot comment there. Last I thought this product was able to wifi/Bluetooth - IT DOES NOT. Be careful I learned the hard way that Brother machines that start with an M (not a D) are wifi/Bluetooth capable.

Overall, great
Works great. The only thing I don’t like is the paper tray barely holds any paper. I have to refill at least once a day. Only ¼ if a ream

Another impressive Laser MFC device from Brother!
I've had quite a few Brother printers over the years. I've been very happy with each and every one, this L5500DN is no exception. Even extracting the printer from the box is a very pleasant process. This particular machine has been enclosed in a plastic bag; I simply had to pull up on the bag and the printer came right out. These devices can get quite heavy, but, using the bag made the task much easier. Setup was a snap. I plugged in the power cord, clicked in the Ethernet cable, powered it up and it was ready to go. It grabbed an IP address and even the software for my Mac was a breeze. It discovered the printer immediately and in about a minute (for me, I have a fast Internet connection) the printer driver had been installed and is ready to go.
I'm very excited about the 40+ PPM throughput of the printer. You will notice a difference if you have an older/smaller machine. The next thing that was a BIG plus for me was that it will do two-sided to two-sided via the platen. No putting the paper back in to get the 2nd side printed. (Yes, it'd be great if this would function using the ADF), but, even using the platen, it's so much easier.
I really like the idea of the 850 toner's. Up to 8000 pages per toner, compared to the 3000 for the TN-660's. Nice improvement. I was not thrilled about having to buy another different toner, until I discovered the difference in capacity. This is very helpful.
I wish the extended paper (optional) drawer wasn't so expensive, or, I would purchase it. My wife is a teacher and she makes a lot of copies. This printer is going to be a blessing for her.
Overall, this is a solid built machine and one I hope will function great for the foreseeable future. Thanks Brother!! You did great!

First Class printer that will not disappoint.
Super fast printing. Good scanner. Every part is solid. I just wouldn't buy the toner from Brother. There's lot of places for 70% less and their ink works great.
