Good for the Price I like that the ink tanks don't house a print head which makes them less expensive to replace when needed. Touchscreen is a bit small. When fully powering down the machine you have to confirm that you want to shut off fax function before it powers off. This is a bit annoying since you have to stand there and wait for it to power off. Also, no true manual feed tray. All media goes into the main paper tray.
Good print quality. Overall a nice printer. The print quality is good. The thouch screen is small but easy to navigate. It does not hard wire to a PC. All wireless. The only real drawback is how long it takes to actually print a job, a long time. Still, a good value.
Old Faithful I've had the last version of this printer for over 5 years of home use (same controls, everything identical except 5+ years old). Now I'm buying this newer version for my business. Cons: Prints slow, not super high quality professional images, no print-from-usb option, no bypass paper tray for odd size jobs Pros: I've never had a wifi connection issue, after moving 4 times and reconfiguring to new networks, that's always a quick easy process.

Great Printer I have no complaints. Easy to install, looks nice and prints beautifully.

I downloaded the latest driver package from the Brother website first until it got to the point where it said, 'connect to the... read more
You must place it near a telephone jack to use the wireless feature I love this printer it fast and quiet.
Easy set up It was east to set up. No problems printing. Seems like replacement cartridges are affordable. Haven't figured out the wireless printing yet, but I'm ok with usingthe cord.
Low cost home office printer/copier I have used this unit for about a month and find it works well for my requirements of printing and copying. I have not used the FAX. The unit was reasonably simple to set up and being wireless works my desktop computer, ipad and laptop. I an not sure how well the ink supply lasts. I went thru the black ink that came with the printer rather quickly and am working now with a newly purchased cartridge.
Arrived as describe and works fine Arrived as describe and works fine
