What I expected, what I needed, what I got

*I haven't tested the fax capabilities of this unit (why are we still using 1960's tech I wish our company would dump it. We can do it people...all at once...GO!)
Pros:
  • Duplex Scanning
Cons:
  • Never been a fan of printer software suites, but this is fine (Not letting my bias affect the egg score)
  • Can't a company make a third party package that works with the drivers without giving me a bunch of stuff I don't use Who does anything but scan and print out the occasional page anymore

Scanner disabled when low on toner

The first time we received the low toner message we ordered a new cartridge right away but found the old one continued working for quite some time. When we began receiving the low toner message on the replacement we ordered one right away not expecting to need it for weeks if not months, but at...

I would not recommend this product at all

This is my second brother MFC. It always goes "offline" and I then have to turn it off and back on every time I want to print something. I would not recommend this product at all.

Worked great until dark line on page of every sc

This has been working fine until a couple of months the ago. Then a thick dark line appeared on every scanned page. Bought a new drum andand toner and still there, wasting a fortune when I could have bought a new one!

Bad UI

Works OK, but terrible user interface. Trying to figure out how to scan-to-email was really hard. Using the touch-screen is clunky, slow, and confusing.
