Customer Review: Is It Possible to Love a Printer? YES
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this printer for over two years now and have used it extensively. It produces consistently high quality, fast and inexpensive documents. I was tired of fooling with cheap, flimsy, inconsistent color printers when most of the printing I do is B/W and this puppy is actually cheaper than those garbage, ink hogs. I don't regret this choice for a second.
I have not needed to use the wireless option, but the instructions are very clear on setting that up. Just read before you proceed.
I have saved a fortune on ink. The toner is much less expensive than ink cartridges which seem to be a racket and the first, included, toner cartridge lasted much longer than expected, especially if you ignore the low toner light and put a piece of tape over the clear windows on the toner unit as others have suggested and explained in greater detail.
Don't confuse the drum unit, which needs replacement much, much less frequently, with the toner cartridge. Only the toner cartridge needs replacement every so often... the drum last much longer, and actually, you can almost buy a new printer for the price of a new OEM drum and get the smaller toner cartridge too... when that time finally comes!
The reason I advise using Brother replacement components/ink cartridge is because the "generic" ones are a crap shoot and Brothers seems to be one of those rare companies, like Samsung, that just make really good products consistently and seems to care about the integrity of their products and materials used.
One really nice feature is the ability to "feed its face slot" with a custom label or sheets of thicker stock or special paper one at a time; but don't worry, the tray holds lots of paper for everyday use and when you place a sheet into the face, it automatically knows to print from there. Just wait about 2 seconds for it to be "sucked in" slightly and held in place a quarter inch while you finalize your printing command. The printer goes back to the tray when there is nothing there (in the face slot). Have multiple sheets to feed the slot? Don't worry, you just have to be ready with the next sheet to feed it and that will again, auto override the tray.
Another word of advise... stick with Brothers Original replacement toner cartridges (and I am all about saving a buck)... no need to replace the entire drum unit-- unless, like me, you got a bad "generic" toner cartridge and it muffed it up a little. The replacement, re-manufactured cartridge I received once my original cartridge was dry, was not fresh, fit a little goofy and had a short "use by date," shortening the life and creating the mentioned minor damage to my drum unit. It didn't ruin the drum, so I will wait for it's normal life cycle to end on that, but now the text is ever so slightly mis-sized from line to line and that is being picky...
STICK WITH BROTHER REPLACEMENT TONER CARTRIDGES. You pay a little more up front, but can be more sure your drum will not get goofed up (a little pricey) and the toner is more likely to be fresh, meaning longer life and will not damage your drum unit.
The printer function itself has been 100 percent problem free for over two years with thousands and thousands of prints and is simple, simple, simple.
Consistently produces very high quality, bold, clear, clean B/W printed docs! I cannot recommend this one highly enough and have owned a-lot of printers and have played the "ink price games."
GREAT VALUE ON A VERY HIGH QUALITY BUILD, INSIDE AND OUT! Has fairly thick, quality plastic casing and good, quality internal components (at least what can be seen).
Did I mention the fresh print-outs smell good? ;
One tiny complaint... I wish the toner unit was a little easier to change; it does take some finesse, but that may be because of my mistake of buying a cheap, generic replacement cartridge.
Grab what is, in my opinion, the best Laser printer value out there. I really appreciate Brothers thoughtful design and quality components. No bells and whistles and glossy gizmos, nor flimsy plastic doo-dads... just a good, quality, well built product meant for serious, no nonsense, reliable use.
This is the Ford Taurus of B/W laser printers. Just a good, reliable design and build!
Great, unobtrusive size to boot!
Keep it up Brother!
