    Seriously? I bought on Amazon in late June. I don't print very much at all. Maybe 30-40 pages so far if that? This morning I got a message about a paper jam; I went through the machine's 6 prompts to clear it - though in the end, there was no paper jam after all. Then I get a message saying "Ink Absorber Pad Full" and to consult the troubleshooting guide. There is no troubleshooting - per Brother's not-very-user-friendly website, it is a "regular maintenance item" that is not under warranty. Seriously? After three months and... read more

    Don't buy Signal worst thing I have ever bought. Installed all software and drivers, firmware is up to date, the printer is connected to wifi and still Spent hours trying to get it to work.

I don't know if this is just a... read more

The printer has good specifications, and should be helpful when working, and it has a small footprint. However, I had recurring problems of the printer not detecting its own genuine Brother cartridges, a problem that Brother itself could not remedy despite attempts at all solutions. Additionally, I had periodic paper jams, some actual... read more

    Worst printer ever! Great features--if it actually worked.... Stay away! I bought this at Best Buy and it worked fine for two months. Then I started getting low ink warnings, then "ink pad full". The ink pad is supposed to last the life of the printer. It wouldn't work anymore. When I took it in for service, they fixed the faulty ink pad sensor, but couldn't fix the low ink sensor without replacing the ink cartridges-- and they wanted ME to pay for the ink. I probably printed about 200 pages since I bought the printer. I sho... read more

    Cheap software software sucks. Pain in the ass to hook up, slow to print. Its just a cheap printer. Not good for office with multiple machnes and a network.
