Does it copy? Does it scan? does it FAX?

Accepted Answer

Yes it copies & scans. No, it does not offer fax. This printer is absolutely awesome. It's easy to install and connect to wirelessly without the usual difficulties experienced by other printers.

Question 9

Is this unit L2380dw compatible with Windows 10?

Accepted Answer

I am not familiar with Windows 10. It works with Macintosh OS 10.10.5 and Windows 8.

My suggestion would be to go to the Brother support webpage and see if they have Windows 10 drivers. If it was not compatible, then the support page would note it.

Either way, you always want to download the latest drivers from the support page to make sure your printer settings are compatible with your OS.
