Great printer so far

Works great so far. Connects to all my computers and phone. Just follow the instructions that come with it. Easy to print and scan, as long as you have the right driver. A bit noisier than I expected. I don't have much use for Fax, but good to have this in case you need it.

Satisfied Customer

A compact printer, fax, and copier, I have used all three with no problem. Great wireless capability or coax. No need to travel to Off Max or FED Express, sam capability as their equipment. Love the program options plans for toner cartridge and copy.

Absolutely Perfect for my husband's office

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were retiring our workhorse Savin and wanted something lighter, smaller and easier to set up. I ordered this for my husband and it was so easy to set up. The wi-fi let's us print from phones and any computer in the house. This model is lighter in structure than my commercial units, but he is retired and was sick of fighting withe bulky technology. He loves this unit. Scans and copies easily. Bypass feeder works well. Very happy. Great price.

This is a good product

This is a good product. It's easy to set up and works as promised. One note: Brother guides to using this wirelessly. We prefer having the printer connected directly to our laptop, and the cable is not provided by Brother. Fortunately, we kept the cable used with our previous printer and use that to connect. All said, we're happy with this Brother B&W printer, especially the install ease and durability of the printer cartridge.

brother all in one compact laser printer

We just set this up today. It was the easiest set up I’ve ever done. Took just a few minutes and we are already printing stuff that comes out great. Very fast very crisp. It also scans a nice feature to have. Also a big shout out to Sams Club Rapid City. They always go above and beyond for the customer.

Essential product for any small business!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Brother has been a trusted brand in my business, as I use a Brother sewing machine as well. Like my sewing machine, I experienced the quality, efficiency, and ease-of-use in this All-In-One Laser Printer.I like that the packaging was mostly earth-friendly, with recyclable cardboard, and recyclable plastic.The styrofoam isn`t eco-friendly, but, it secured the printer very well for shipment. The ease of unpacking and setting-up was very user-friendly. The only problem I had was getting the Wifi connected, but I eventually solved it. Once that was set-up, I was impressed by how easy it was to print from my phone and computer, throughout the house.My favorite feature on this printer is that I will spend less money on toner than I would on ink by using my inkjet printer. This is my first laser printer, and I must say I prefer it to inkjet printers now. The printer is fairly compact in size considering how much it can do. I have a small online business, so I primarily use my printer for printing shipping labels. I mostly print black ink, so the fact that it doesn`t print color was not a set-back for me. I can always plug-in my inkjet printer for the occasional need of color ink. I printed paper patterns for cut-and-sew projects on the laser printer, and I was happy with the results. I`ve enjoyed using the scanner for my business, especially for scanning in my screen print designs to print on transparency paper. I had to trouble-shoot with using transparency paper, but eventually worked out the problems. I also could see the quality on transparency paper was higher than when I print on transparency paper on my inkjet printer. I would recommend reading the detailed manual for specialty printing, as the quick-start guide doesn`t instruct how to do so. I don`t have a big need for the fax feature, but on the occasion I do send faxes, it will be more convenient than going to the library. My overall impression is that this printer is not only high-quality and efficient, but it is, most of all, versatile. This printer can meet a variety of business printing needs, from printing shipping labels, business labels, printing high-efficiency paperwork/documents, to scanning and printing on various types of paper. I look forward to continued use of this printer for my own business printing needs, and I would recommend this laser printer to other small businesses as well.

You need to be a NASA engineer to make copies

Pros: Fast printing, and easy to print from MS WORD, e-mail, etc. Prints double sided, which I like. Cons: You need to be a NASA ENGINEER to figure out how to make a copy off of the simple buttons on the front of the printer. You have to hit about a dozen buttons, after the printer asks you questions, and when you are done -- printer just "bonks" at you and doesn't copy. And, WHO MAKES a printer now a days without a touch LCD screen? Doesn't seem to "scan double sided" into a PDF file for computer, and IF it does, NASA has not taught me how. Prints decent, and fast start up. VERY LOUD PRINTER from what I am used to. HORRIBLE INSTRUCTIONS both in book and online on HOW to operate this printer! Disgruntled, possibly lost customer!

reply from Customer Service

Hi John, We are glad to hear you like that your printer prints fast and double sided. However, there is an issue with copying and scanning. Automatic 2 sided scanning is not a feature of this machine. If the copy button has to be pressed that many time, it may be and issue the button on the machine.

Scanning changed and downgraded rating

It's everything I wanted in a laser printer: WiFi printing, copy feeder, and scan to computer. It breaks down on the scanning to computer process. When I first started using it, I could send scans from the printer to the computer, even if it was annoying that I had to press four buttons for each page. Now I have to do it from the computer, and since the computer usually isn't in the room the printer is in, I am not getting through my scanning project as quickly as I was. Why has this changed? And since I use a MacBook, there is little troubleshooting available. If the scanning worked both ways, this would be a five-star review.

An amazing printer that does it all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This printer is like no other printer I have tried before! It took me some time to set up and start using, however the instructions were clear enough that I was able to begin using my new printer within an hour. This printer takes up a little more room than the one I was previously using, however replaces the need for multiple items and fits nicely on a small table next to my desk. The printer and copier print beautiful and clear copies. My favorite feature of this printer is being able to print using wifi, so I can print things from my phone for work and home. Overall, I think this is a great printer that does it all and you will not be disappointed!

Happy but occasionally frustrated.

It's good. It prints well and quickly. Happy to have it. Even for a tech-literate setup for wifi was trouble, also figuring out which app to use, still not sure why my phone hides the app though I suspect that's a Pixel problem. With no computer directly attached, there are a number of print to email and scanning issues that are still unresolved. It's good and good value. But far from free from frustration.
