3 years and still running..........2007-02-24

I bought this machine in the summer of 2003 and I have used it ever since without any problems. I usually print out 30-50 pages per job twice a week using various kinds of paper. In all that time I have only changed the toner about three times a year but I haven't changed the drum unit not even once and I still get excellent print quality for my print and copy jobs, ranging from graphics-heavy church bulletins to letters to school assignments.
I have however given it a 4* rating because I'm disappointed with the quality of the scan jobs, especially when it comes to photos. The other problem has to do with the paper tray-it has no cover so when you leave papers in the tray for a few days while the printer is idle they get dusty and then they sometimes jam when you resume printing. I work around that by removing all the blank papers from the tray when not in use and then feeding only when I need to print. Otherwise it's a good machine and I've never had to call Tech Support.

I use 2 of these in my small medical practice. They require very little maintenance but some problems with paper jams on the automatic feed. Good quality copies.

Good - with some drawbacks.......2006-10-28

I've liked the cost per page and good quality copies

BUT

You can not copy anything thick - the top must be closed. This was very annoying when trying to copy the bottom of a box so I could get the UPC code.

AND

It does not hold enough paper. I feel like I'm constantly loading the paper feeder.

If you buy another printer, it will be larger & more costly.......2005-04-04

You can read all the reviews for all the other printers & compare the features or you can make the decision easy by getting this super value printer/copy/scanner & enjoy its printing quality within 12 minutes of opening the box.

I have a 2004 Compaq, Windows Home XP system. Set up was accomplished seemlessly the first time with the CD-ROM. This is the way it's supposed to happen. I opened the box, plugged the system into the computer with the USB, place the CD-ROM and followed the prompts and then set the printer as my default from the start menu and wow beautiful fast prints emerge from my command. The process took less than 12 minutes. It was so easy I did not have time to finish reading the instructions. I don't know where the other people writing these threads got their problems. The speed may not be the fastest on the market by specs, but the prints come out almost as fast as you can deal with them & as fast as the printers at work costing 10 times as much. The copy quality & ease are great and will not
disappoint you.

The initial cost & long-term cost are low. Over the next 5 years, my high quality prints will be less than $0.02 each including the cost of the printer.

Who needs a fax anymore. All you get from faxing is poor quality resolution. With email and the built in scanner all the functions that you would ever need for faxing is accomplished right here & you have the documents stored in your emials & not in a drawer. Also you don't need 2 phone lines or have the fax continually mess up your primary line. If I had a fax feature, I would not even hook it up, so why pay for a feature you don't want & could compicate the picture.

All the other machines of this quality are more exspensive to purchase and operate, are larger in size & are more complicated to run. I don't know how a home or small business could go wrong with this printer. A value priced home run.
Amazon got it to my house with standard shipping in 2 days. I am a happy customer with a product that fulfills its claims & purpose.

What would I have done without it?.......2004-08-05

I've had mine for two full years, and I used it on most days. As a teacher, the convenience of sticking a book on the flatbed, pressing 25, and then hitting the green button, and having it print out 25 copies very quickly while I shave is... invaluable. I, for one, have never experienced any problems with the unit. I've replaced the toner twice -- a very simple procedure, and it's some of the cheapest toner around, giving me some of the lowest per page costs of laser printers. (Compare Brother toner to, say, Samsung toner.)

I don't experience paper jams, as I have with every other printer I, or my family members, have owned. The scanner integrates seemlessly with WinXP. Just a few minutes ago, I stuck on a cookbook, clicked "My Computer" in WinXP, then double clicked on the Brother icon, and it started the scanner wizard. I chose "greyscale image," it scanned it in maybe fifteen seconds, and then I clicked on "send to email" and I sent off the recipe to a friend of mine. The entire process took me about two minutes. It's not a scanner I'd use for archiving my photo collection, but it is good enough for most uses, and can copy a photo to my photo printer for a decent job.

I've been extremely happy with it. Cheap to operate for copying and printing, inexpensive toner with easy replacement, no printer jams. Two years service, and no decrease in quality. The "toner low" light does come on too early, but I just keep printing, usually a couple of hundred more pages, until I see fading, before I actually replace the toner. While this at first annoyed me, now I use the light as the "go order some toner so you have it around" light.
