copier review [Posted on 2007-01-04]
This copier is much slower than expected. It also doesn't copy thicker paper very well. It jams when we try to copy on two sides. It curls after copying the first side, then we have to wait a long time and flatten the paper before we can copy the other side.
The quality of the copies are good.
Buy the better model [Posted on 2007-12-21]
I highly recommend the MFC-8820DN instead of this model. It's about the same price and it includes automatic duplexing (that's the 'D' in the model #) and it includes a network interface (that's the 'N' in the model #). Definitely don't go for a 7xxx model. The 8xxx models use high capacity cartridges which means about seventy bucks for > 6000 pages instead of fifty bucks for about 2000 pages for the 7xxx models. Think about it. After just a couple toner cartridges you'll have paid for the better machine!
I didn't buy mine on Amazon as they don't sell the MFC-8820DN. I don't know why - it's much better IMHO.
huge on the desk top [Posted on 2008-05-21]
I am fairly happy with this machine. It takes up a lot of space on my desk, but as I use it all day long, I don't really want to put it across the room. I mostly use the print feature. It has only jammed a few times in the year or so that I have used it. As for the scans, they usually come out crooked, but I don't often need high quality scans, so I'm ok with that most of the time. I've only used the OCR once or twice and it did ok. It made some mistakes, but the font on the original was rather small. We also have the similar model with the fax Brother MFC-8460n 30ppm Network Multifunction Laser Printer and we are happy with it, too. It makes good copies, but I don't usually try two sided printing or copying on this machine.
Good printer, serious shortcomings [Posted on 2008-08-01]
I have had other Brother printers and they have been great. I hoped for the same and am disappointed. Although this printer was easy to set up, the scanning software was easy to figure out, the print quality is excellent, the printer simply does not print envelopes properly. No matter what I do, the envelope is always creased and bent when it comes out of the printer. I have never had this problem before, even with other brands which have not been as high performing as Brother, so I do not understand how the problem can be so serious. But I would not have bought this printer if I had known it did not have the capacity to print standard sized envelopes!
