    Worst Printer Worst printer we've ever had, and of course we didn't buy the Geek Squad protection so we've just had to limp along buying new ink cartridges after about every other print job. From day one this printer has jammed every single time we try to use the duplex print function, which is the reason we purchased it in the first place. It also prints maybe 3 small print jobs, up to 20 pages, per cartridge, and then it stops working because one of the cartridges is out enough to where none of them work, even just the bla... read more

    not worth the purchase Not worth the price. Eats up a lot of ink. I end up replacing the ink a lot sooner than I have to. I'm stuck with this printer for now. Will not purchase again. I would've returned it if I had known earlier that it eats up a lot of ink.

    Stated page yields for genuine Brother cartridges are based on the ISO testing standards. The number of pages that can be printed with a cartridge is affected by several factors, including paper size, number of pages per print job, amount of print on each page, font size, and print content (graphics, charts, etc.). Print jobs with large text fonts, graphics, charts, and/or large amount of solid coverage (black or any given color) will use much more toner and will shorten the life of the toner cartridge.

    Worst printer The worst printer I ever had. I always turn my printer off when I’m finish printing and notice my ink keeps running out so I call brother and they told me not to turn it off when I’m finish printing I did what they say and my ink still running out. When my printer is turn on or off my printer makes sounds like something is printing and it wasn’t in use. I wouldn’t purchase this brand again
