I have been using this MFC for about 5 years now. I upgraded from an older Brother MFC that I also used for at least 5 years and it was still working when I gave it to a friend who LOVED my MFC. I will say, with absolute certainty, that I would not be able to conduct business without this MFC.

summary The laser printer Brother MFC-8220 copies, sends and receives faxes, and scans in monochrome. Built with a top-of-the-line 600dpi, vendor-rated 21ppm engine, the unit includes a 30-page sheetfed document feeder and walk-up copy and fax capabilities.

Fast, extensive fax features; inexpensive consumables; Mac and PC compatible

Can't scan in color; mediocre print quality

I've used this model for years, in a busy business environment.

In my law office I have a need for each of the functions provided by this unit and each performs admirably.

I bought this printer about 12 years ago and it was a workhorse...I was surprised that I can still buy one... the old one finally gave up the ghost and I was bound and determined to get another one and I did... best printer I ever bought most reliable too... keep this one on the market.

For an inexpensive multifunction printer, Brother's MFC-8220 is fast and offers most of the features a small office needs.
