5.0 out of 5 stars Great printer

I waited for a month or two before I reviewed this.Scans:I use scans for work and need a scanner that can easily handle multiple pages. This scans a lot of pages- which is great. I used the feeder (and I also downloaded the software from the website). I use the program to scan. It is fabulous. I scanned a 25 page document easily and saved as a pdf to my computer. This is a huge plus because many scanners don't work well with multiple pages. The output was clear and it scanned it quickly. I do have to own up to my first scan being blank as I had the pages turned the wrong way for the feeder (it scanned the backs). Maybe I was in a rush, or I read it wrong-but it took me a second try to figure that out... so if you are using the document feeder make sure you scan the documents with the pages faced in the right direction.I have an older brother at work. You can scan it directly from the printer to the laptop because it is connected via a printer cable. I didn't set that up here, so I had to use the program to do it wirelessly which was very simple (after I did it a first time- see above). It was so easy that I decided to forgo the expense of the printer cable and just use the laptop to originate the scans wirelessly.Copy:This take copies from the glass and from the document feeder. It holds a lot of pages and it copies them quickly and clearly. I was very happy with the ADF because I copy larger documents and this poses problems for many personal printers. The glass was also very easy to copy from and it is clearly marked for orientation. My former computer was a pain because it was not very clear and I had to remember to place it against the right vs. the left.Print:Love this printer, it is fast and clear. The colors are deep and the printer easily and automatically prints (wirelessly) out my papers. I usually print out documents about 20 pages so this handled that well. I didn't have to wait a long time and my ink is still at full.....Overall I am very happy with this printer. My other printer would always give me issues when I needed to print in terms of connectivity and it would take several attempts and a lot of aggravation to print a something. This printer is a blessing in that area. It automatically connects to my computer, even after I haven't used it for a week, and prints it out quietly, quickly and clearly. It is smaller than my previous printer and it is quiet.I recommend you download the software but it is a big file(s) so it takes up memory (as a programmer I watch that load of the programs). I use the program for wireless scanning, but if you are not a big scanner than you could probably avoid it.I recommend this printer. I think it has a lot of functionality for the price-most of which I do not use-- but more importantly it works as it is supposed to - when it is supposed to. That is a big change from my former Cannon- which did what it wanted, when it wanted and took forever.

Great quality and simple to set up!

Awesome! This is by far the nicest printer out of the box ever! The quality is way better than any of the Canon printers ...and I have owned quite a few and will never go back! The setup was simple, it connected to my wifi network like a breeze(once I remembered my password...lol). Both computers in our home connected in a flash. Good warranty. Only printed a couple of documents to try it out, and it is crazy fast...... couldn't be happier at this point.

All you need for a great working home printer!

Excellent printer and copier. Does everything you need it to, with efficiency and accuracy. Connected to Wifi quickly and with ease (unlike a previous printer of another brand which presented numerous Wifi connection issues). Great clarity of printed documents, simple ink installation, and great screen display. Very happy with this printer!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Compatible with Linux!

Great little printer! Not the absolute best print quality but more than adequate for home use and for the price. Easy setup. Connected to my phone and home wifi quickly and without glitches. Whole setup and creating an account with Brother took about 20 minutes. WORKS GREAT WITH LINUX! I didn't even have to download any drivers or even set it up on my computer. Linux Mint (22.3 Zena) automatically recognized it and I was able to print immediately! Definitely worth purchasing!

1.0 out of 5 stars Update: 8 months of ownership, and it's already a useless piece of junk.

Update: I've only had this printer for 8 months and it is a useless piece of junk. I've spent hours on the phone with Brother support, wasted gallons of ink "cleaning" it, and the print quality only gets worse and worse. I'm done with this thing and never buying another Brother product. This is ridiculous. My next step is to compel Brother to honor their warranty.After 12 years of hard service and expensive ink, I retired my HP printer and tried this Brother. Here are my first impressions:The Misses:1. I hate the 1980s grey plastic design. It looks like crap on my desk, particularly since all the rest of my computing equipment is black, but I was buying for functionality, not style, I guess.2. I have postage stamps that are bigger than the LED display on this thing. It's not easy to see and you have to scroll down to see some of the messages the machine is providing.3. The set up is kind of clunky and involved compared to other printers. Some set up is done on the machine, other parts are done by going to the Brother website where you have to figure out where to go to download the drivers. I was looking for something on the website home page that said "set up your printer here", but instead you have to hunt around.4. During the set up process, it asks to download several ancillary services. These are not well explained, and I may have inadvertently downloaded annoying bloatware. We'll find out.5. If you are considering printing photos with this machine, just stop and move on to something else. My HP was far better. The photos are crisp, but the Brother interprets certain colors in bizarre ways. For example, white tents are rendered in light blue. Looks very strange compared to the actual photo.6. The power cord on this is ridiculously short compared to my HP, and I pretty much had to change my entire desk set up to stretch the cord far enough to reach my power strip.7. It wouldn't kill Brother to give you a printer cord if you want a wired connection. Fortunately, I was able to reuse my HP cord THAT CAME WITH THE MACHINE.The Hits:1. Printing a standard page of text with an illustration or two is lightning fast. I've never seen an inkjet as fast as this.2. Standard printed text is very sharp.3. It's more compact than my old HP All in One, mostly because the paper tray doesn't stick out an extra 5 inches on the side.4. It is much quieter than the HP, which would go through a lot of noisy gyrations just get itself prepared to print.I'm not sure I did the right thing in buying this printer. I wanted to be thrilled, but so far I am not.

Muy buena Calidad precio
