    GARBAGE. WILL NEVER PURCHASE BROTHER AGAIN I've owned this printer for almost a year. It is the worst printer ever. The printer will not print if one of the toner cartridges are empty. Even if you don't use the color toners. The ADF constantly jams and tears the papers apart no matter how hard you try to put them into the feeder evenly. Now it won't recognize the new toner I've just tried to replace. I have purchased and recommended Brother products for over a decade. I will now discourage anyone from purchasing their piece ... read more

    Good if only printing black text on white paper If you are printing only black text on white paper this product is great. However, if you have any images, or color on here this is horrible. The pictures are blurry, and not clear. I printed a resume where my name is white on a blue banner. The name is extremely blurry and the blue runs into the white name. This is the same on anything that isn't black text on white background.

    Absolutely horrible software software is incapable of recognizing a printer that is already installed and working so I cant scan anything. I can try to reinstall the software but in a corporate setting with security on the network it doesnt find the printer, I can manually enter the IP address and it comes up but then it cant connect anyway. And you cant even uninstall the software short of manually deleting the 5 or 6 folders full of junk in your program files folders (have to stop some processes first), uninstall just plai... read more

    WOULD BE GREAT IF SCANNING WOULD WORK LOVED THIS MACHINE INITIALLY HOWEVER CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE SCANNING ISSUES UNABLE TO SCAN.PURCHASED THIS FOR ITS DUPLEX SCANNING ABILITY DOESNT SEEM TO WORKAND NOT EASY TO CONNECT 

    Business response:

    Hi Janet, We are excited to hear that you love the machine. However, you are experiencing an issue with the duplex scanning feature for this machine. I'll be more than happy to assist you. When using the automatic 2-sided scanning, you must use the ADF, not the flatbed scanner glass. Also select long-edge binding or short-edge binding option depending on the layout out of your original. I hope this helps.

    Connection with computer Have from day 1 had trouble with communication between computer and printer. Lost power for about 5 minutes the other day and again now the computer and printer aren't communicating. Why do I have to constantly call. Didn't have this problem with other printers I had in the past. Frustrating to say the least
