3 out of 5 stars Oh, Brother !!!!! You are fast and cheap........2007-06-27

The printer is fast in all respects: printing, warm-up, copying, scanning and faxing. The automatic paper feed is outstanding. The output (printing and copying) is clear and excellent. The only negatives are that the envelopes get creased pretty badly when being printed and the paper seems to curl a lot. The creased envelopes, I think, has to do with the tightness of the paper feed. The creasing occurs only in the lower right quandrant of the printed envelope. The curled paper probably has to with heat within the unit (I never turn the printer off) although it goes into a "sleep mode" when unused.

I still recommend the printer because I generate a lot of paper output and create few envelopes. I am investigating a better grade of paper which may solve the curled paper issue. This is a fantastic value and it a good-looking device.

4 out of 5 stars Nice small office printer.......2007-05-19

I have always been happy with Brother printers, and this one is no exception. It prints fast and clear, the functions are plentiful and it doesn't take up all that much desk space. One thing I have noticed is that the paper gets kind of curled after if comes out of the machine if you print a bunch of copies. And it's not very convenient to get the printed pages out of the middle of the machine. But overall, a very nice machine and one that I would recommend.

4 out of 5 stars Super fast little guy.......2007-03-30

We have been using this printer for a little over a month now at work where we print an average of about 100 pages a day and this little guy chugs through it like it was nothing. The best part of it all is the speed. It is quick to warm up and prints 30ppm, which is a billion times faster than our previous Brother printer (or so it seems). The print quality is excellent but so are most laser printers so that's not really a stand-out. As mentioned by everyone else here, the envelopes do get a little crinkled when they are printed through the printer but that beats our last brother printer that seemed to jam more often than not when printing envelopes. I have yet to have an envelope jam. A trade off (crinkled envelope to jammed envelope) we are willing to take any day. To print an enveiope you have to open a little door in the front of the printer to access the feed for it. Not a big deal but I thought I would mention it. So, why four stars? Well, the crinkled envelope issue mainly and also the plastic quality used to build the machine seems a little cheap (at least compared to our last Brother printer). Definitely not a big deal but warrants the four stars.

5 out of 5 stars Great Multifunction Device.......2007-03-29

It was between this and the other brother mfc that performs duplex printing for my home office which two people use on a daily basis. We figured we didn't need the duplex (although we wanted it!), so we decided to save about 100.00 and go with this one.

I was very pleased with the construction, installation (XP) and documentation. Brother has a new customer in my organization. Coming from HP, I was acustomed to clunky software, and machines that wouldn't always perform as planned.

I couldn't be happier with this product and would recommend to all.

1 out of 5 stars Engineering Flaw?.......2007-03-23

Recently, despite my recommendation of the Brother MFC-7820N, two of my clients decided to purchase the Brother MFC-8460N because of the faster print speed and legal-size scanning bed and, oh boy, what a mistake that was! Both customers have had almost identical problems; the unit doesn't recognize the paper tray intermittely and says 'no paper in tray' and the unit makes an annoying clicking sound just before and for several minutes after printing, copying or receiving a fax. That might be okay in a noisy environment, but in a home office or any place where it's reasonably quite this will drive you bananas. Brother tech support doesn't have a fix for either of these problems and so they shipped a refurbished unit, only the annoying clicking was slightly less noisy while the paper/paper tray (MP tray) issue has come back to haunt the replacement unit. My suggestion, go with the MFC-7820N or better yet, get a unit from another manufacturer because Brother does not seem to want to do the right thing which would be to replace this defective model with another model that doesn't have the engineering, design and/or manufacturing flaws that make the 8460N a lemon. I really wanted to give Brother a chance because I think that the 7820N is a terrific little all-in-one, but stay away from this unit.
