Pros: It's fast, sits perfectly idle for days making no noise
Cons: It's loud, but only when warming up or printing, not overly loud, but you wouldn't want to be sitting next to it printing 200 pages
Overall Review: If you need a fast color laser buy it, the toner is cheap to replace, and it's easy to set up. One note, using it over wifi it only supports WEP, WPA, WPA2-AES not TKIP.
Pros: Duplex printing, easy install, great support page at Brother and USB/wireless/wired access.
Of course, the Newegg experience -- arrived within delivery time and intact!!
Cons: None
Overall Review: Color -wife thought it was all black and not b&w to match our decore! Not an issue!
2 years old and it has to be returned10/26/2016 12:52:13 PM
Pros: cost, wireless feature, decent printing
Cons: Cleaning wire prior to changing toner a hassle, won't print on card stock, stopped acknowledging toner, continuous reminder when toner is low, poor quality
Colors very dull. Bad Windows drivers.11/9/2011 8:19:02 PM
Pros: Wireless Ethernet port.
Cons: 1. Colors not vivid at all. Very dull colors. 2. Bad windows drivers cause Windows 7 64-bit to completely freeze up. Had to roll back to a restore point prior to driver / printer installation. 3. Wireless / wired Ethernet setup is very quirky. Wireless port and Wired Ethernet port cannot be active at the same time. If you enable wireless port, the wired port is disabled -- the light on the Ethernet switch will not even light up. You have to do a network setting reset to re-activate the wired Ethernet port. Simply turn printer off / back on will not reset it.
Overall Review: Always bought Brother printers. This is really bad one. Office Depot's Xerox color printers have much better colors. So unfortunately, when we need high quality color prints, we still go to Office Depot.
Pros: For general document printing, an excellent printer.
Not unduly loud.
Cons: Banding on both colors and greys.
Somewhat complicated and confusing instructions for wireless setup.
When printing watermarks, the greys are too prominent.
Overall Review: Our main printer for years have been HPs. When we set up documents to print on both sides, we don't have to tell the printer to use duplex. If the Brother has this capability, we haven't found it yet. However, you can manually select duplex (ditto mono) on every print job. Just a bit more time consuming and wasteful of paper if you forget.
