Nos conformes

I searched quite a bit, and read many reviews for a combo printer scanner (I don't use fax). I previously had a Samsung printer ( CLP-310n, purchased 2011 if I recall correctly) I was very happy with and a Fujitsu scanner (SCANSNAP S1500, purchased 2008) that was fantastic. Replacement cost for the FJ scanner alone would be the price of this Brother MFC. Both required some part replacement to continue with their use, however, the ultimate reason I chose to replace them was due to the fact their respective software was 32bit and MacOS no longer supports such (per MacOS 10.15+). I have had this just one day, however, scanning and printer are quick and seamless. Setup was easy - striping all the orange plastic separators and blue taped items, add paper and away we go. I later installed the printer and scanner drivers from the Brother site as the scanner initially had few options. Now works well. I am using MacOS 10.15 and while my Scansnap had a nice interface for scanner settings (and profiles), once the scanner driver was installed the scanner options appeared under "show details" allowing for a full configuration for the scan including duplex. The scan is fast and accurate (up to 600dpi in a dropdown). The only downside I have seen is the scan did not auto eliminate blank duplex pages, nor did I see such an option. One is able to choose scanning from the flatbed or the feeder (I use only the feeder, didn't realize there was a flatbed). I include a photo of the back as I was unable to find that online. There is a typical USB interface, ethernet and two telephony - one in, one out. Hope that helps.

Excellent printer.

We've had this printer now for 5 years. That's a long time for a printer. Initially, we had to have the first unit replaced due to a problem that I don't now remember. Brother replaced the unit quickly. We have used OEM toner cartridges because we have found them to be more reliable and better quality, though admittedly much more expensive. We have replaced the drum unit and other parts as indicated. On average we print more than a thousand pages per month and sometimes 5,000 or more. The printer has been a reliable workhorse. We took it in for servicing once to an authorized service center only to discover the problem we were having was not due to the printer, but due to the distance from the wifi router. We installed a router signal extender, which resolved the problem and ended up hooking up the printer via cable to the extender. No more problems. We honestly have had very few problems with printing for five years. There are many positives about this printer. It is very expandable in terms of paper feed trays. We have two, but I think it can handle about four. We use standard 20 lb bond paper in a 500-sheet tray and premium 24 lb paper in the second tray, which has a 250-sheet capacity. The printer also has a bypass tray from which we print heavy papers (card stock, etc.), checks, envelopes, and more. The color is reasonably good though sometimes the match between the computer screen and the printer output can be off. Print coverage is typically quite good. We print wirelessly from computers, tablets, and phones. If you need to, you can print from a USB port. The automatic document feeder works very well and can scan both sides in one pass, which makes it very speedy. Brother has good software for monitoring and serving their printers across a network. You do need to accustom yourself to a few limitations. The heaviest paper that will reliably feed from a regular paper tray drawer is 24 lb. I wanted to be able to have premium 28 lb paper in our 250-sheet tray, but it won't feed reliably. To print more than 24 lb paper requires using the bypass feeder tray. Brother says you can load and print up to 50 sheets of paper from this tray. I haven't tested the preciseness of this claim, but I know you can put a small stack of 28 lb or 32 lb paper in the tray and it feeds fine. For 80 lb or 100 lb cover stock it will reliably feed about 4 sheets. For 10 pt coated paper, you will probably have to feed it 1 sheet at a time due to the high gloss. One area of frustration for me has been the wireless scanning. When it works, it works great. But for some reason the wireless connection between computer and printer breaks every so often and then it's a bear to get it connected again. I'm going to see if somebody in tech support at brother can help me solve this problem. I have another scanner on my desk that I use most of the time, but I'd like to have the ADF feature for scanning from time to time. All in all, based on my personal experience, I would highly recommend this printer to anyone looking for a reliable quality printer that will print thousands of copies per month rather quickly.
