Very Impressive Home-Office Printer
I received this printer a few weeks ago to complement a smaller color Canon printer. My goal was to have a printer for my home office with higher printing speeds, faster/easier scanning capabilities, and greater paper capacities. I've put it through some testing to assess its capabilities. In general, I am extremely impressed with this printer.

Monochrome and Proud of it
The MFCL5900DW is a great printer with excellent print quality. It's got resolutions up to 1200 dpi but the 600 dpi looks great. The large, legal sized scanner glass is another nice feature. And the 5900 is easy to setup and join to your network. I had no problems connecting it to my Windows 10 network.

Excellent, fast, affordable Black and White Laser printer with Excellent security features to protect your business assets.
The Brother Business Laser comes ready to use. How often does some electronic device, especially a complicated one, come so easy to use so fast? Very rare. It is a good business size, not compact but fits on a good desk. The printer comes with a full cartridge instead of a "buyers" one that is barely full. So you can add paper and start using it right away. Setup is very easy. Printing is fast and clear... read more
A printer/fax/scanner, and copier that will exceed your expectations for all of your home office needs!
I recently received the Brother MFCL5900DW Business Laser All-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax Machine. The machine comes fully assembled when it arrived. All I had to do to get started was take it out of the box, remove the tape and packing materials, add paper, and plug it in. The machine came with a quick start guide as well as a users manual and a CD with the printer drivers included. I could not use the CD since I ha... read more
A Best Buy for Small Law Offices
When I was growing up Brother produced compact sewing machines which could not compete with the mighty products manufactured by Singer. It ventured into typewriters where its little machines were swallowed up in markets dominated by IBM, Olivetti, and Remington. It was in my mind a junior varsity player in a varsity game.
In the late eighties who I set up my own law practice I found, to my surprise, the two best laser printers on the market were the mighty HP Laser Jet II and a nearly identic... read more
Great multifunction device for small businesses and home offices
This is a great multifunction device for a small business or home office. It's got pretty much all the functions you would need for most purposes - dual sided printing and scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities. Plus, it's network-enabled and has wifi connectivity. Printing and scanning speeds are very respectable, and print quality is on par for a black and white laser printer. The document feeder on top allows for feeding in multiple pages (up to about 15... read more
Quick, cheap supplies, easy to setup
I got both the MFCL5800DW and the MFCL5900DW. They look pretty much exactly the same. There's only one major difference--the 5900 scans/copies/faxes both sides of a sheet of paper, but the 5800 only does single-sided scan/copy/fax. Both are color scanners, but black-and-white printers. Both do two-sided printing, but the document feeder in the 5900 also does two-sided scanning. A lot of offices don't use duplex printing often, so duplex scanning is even more a waste. If this is you, save ... read more
State of the Art Laser Printer
This is everything I could ask for in a laser printer. The unboxing and setup was easy, just follow the enclosed instructions. This machine prints smooth and clean and I really like the duplexing. Printing on both sides of the sheet of paper saves paper.
I chose to connect this printer to my computer via WiFi. The color touchscreen makes it easy to see choices and make selections. The WPS connector is easy and instant. I also tried setting up manually, and it worked fine, as well.
The paper tra... read more
Fast & Cost Effective Multifunction Machine for a Small Office
Two most distinctive qualities of the printer are speed and color screen. It sure is a fast network printer. A reasonable size color screen makes it easy to use the various functions of this machine and to change settings. I am still experimenting with the network scanning part but rest of the functions - printer, fax, copier - work well. The machine is not heavy.
Although 70 page document feeder is convenient, the scanning speed is slow - but may be the settings... read more
