Review of the Brother MFC-7860DW Laser Printer
The Bottom Line The Brother MFC-7860DW is a multifunction laser printer that offers automatic duplexing, wireless or wired networking, and a 250-sheet paper tray. I found it quiet, fast, and reliable--and prints look outstanding.
Pros:
- Very fast
- Built-in duplexer
- Wired / Wireless networking built in and easy to set up
Cons:
- LCD is difficult to read
- Printing from smart-phone apps doesn't include Blackberry

Pros:
- Doesn't Jam
- Good Value
- Easy to Use

- Performance
Cons:

- Slow
- deletes exist.

Brother MFC-7860DW
The mono laser multifunction printer can fairly be described as a workhorse of the small office. It has taken the place of the photocopier as the major ‘can't live without' piece of desktop equipment, providing print, copy, scan and, in the case of Brother's MFC-7860DW, fax.
Pros:
- Quick print for class
- Duplex print as standard
- Wireless connection with WPS setup
Cons:
- Poor greyscale copying
- Above average running costs
- High purchase price

Brother MFC-7860DW
Similar in most ways to the less expensive Brother MFC-7360n ($200 street, 3.5 stars) that I recently reviewed, the Brother MFC-7860DW ($300 street) adds a slightly faster engine, WiFi, and a duplexer (for two-sided printing).
Pros:
- Suitably small for personal use or for a micro office
- Ethernet and WiFi
- Duplexer
- Single-sheet manual feed
Cons:
- No paper handling upgrade options

Brother MFC-7860dw Review
We recently finished up our review of the MFC-J6710dw All-in-One , the mid-level inkjet from the MFC-J6000 series, so now we have turned our attention to the new MFC-7000 series, the "first in the category" to include both duplex printing and wireless connectivity in a model priced under $300.
Pros:
- Quick print speeds
- Good print quality
- 35-sheet ADF
Cons:
- Occasional paper jams
- No front side USB port

Brother MFC-7860DW review Review
The Brother MFC-7860DW is, on the whole, a decent multi-function printer. It offers a broad range of features, pumps out pages at a fairly fast pace, and produces good-quality text output. We just wish its graphics output were cleaner.
Pros:
- Fast print speed
- Good text quality
- Relatively cheap running costs
Cons:
- Expensive
- Graphics print quality could be better

Brother MFC 7860DW
The $299 Brother MFC-7860DW monochrome laser printer is an all-in-one solution for offices that don't generally produce graphics prints, but require a versatile machine that can operate as a standalone fax machine, copier, and scanner in addition to its printing duties.
Pros:
- Brother makes it easy to network the MFC-7860DW with collaborators
- and its modest price tag makes sense for budget-minded shoppers
Cons:
- Larger offices will feel cramped by the printer's small paper input tray and 10,000-sheet recommended output per month

MFC-7860DW LASER P/S/C/F WL
the duplexing (front and back side printing) is a lovely feature. Reducing and putting two small versions of the copy on one regular saves paper and toner and trees.
Pros:
- Small footprint
- set-up genie was very helpful
- toner is available lots of places
Cons:
- lightweight doors
- etc.
- envelope feeder hard to adjust
- ADF not opened all the time
