Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using my Brother MFC-7340 Flatbed Laser Multi-Function Center for over a year now and I really love it! Before I purchased this Brother MFC-7940, I previously had an inkjet printer, but got tired of constantly paying so much for new ink (which would run out rather quickly). However, that's not a problem with laser printers -- even with the starter toner cartridge this printer comes with, you still get 1,000 pages of printing, which is pretty significant.
The MFC-7340 produces very high-quality printed pages, which looks professional -- with no smearing or smudges. It also prints pretty fast, as one would expect with a laser printer. I also like the fact that the MFC-7340 has a manual duplex printing option, which walks you through the steps of printing on both sides. This can save paper, and the software makes it relatively easy to do, including how to orient the sheets for reverse side printing. I've not had any real problems with paper jams, and the device is pretty easy to use overall.
The scanner also does a great job, and you can scan at pretty high resolutions using either the flatbed or the ADF (automatic document feeder) above it. One thing I particularly like about the multi-function center is that if you have a stack of pages you'd like to scan - you can load them into the ADF, press "scan" and walk away. The machine will scan the entire stack, and send the scans to the software included with the printer.
Also, you can use the MFC-7340 to make simple copies - without even needing the computer to be on. It works like a regular copier in that sense, so you can load documents in the ADF or place them on the flatbed scanner, press "copy" then "start" and you're done. You can also adjust the contrast, size and quality of the copies you wish to make.
The fax also does a pretty good job, and like the copier - doesn't require the computer to be on. However, you do have the option of sending incoming faxes directly to your computer - if you want to save on paper. Alternatively, you can send faxes via your computer as well.
The software include's Brother's Control Center, which is pretty handy - and provides a panoply of scanning, copying and PC-fax options. I also found very useful the included ScanSoft PaperPort 11 -- which offers a lot more scanning options, and the ability to convert documents to PDFs. You can also use PaperPort11 to merge PDFs and rearrange them pretty much anyway you like. The PaperPort software can be a little clunky to use at times, but once you get over the learning curve, it's actually quite useful.
Overall I have to give the Brother MFC-7340 Flatbed Laser Multi-Function Center an excellent review. Prior to purchasing this product, my experience with all-in-one printers is that they do a lot of things somewhat adequately, though often lacking in some manner or another. The Brother MFC-7340 really impressed me because it does a lot of things, and does them very well. The only drawback I can think of is if you want color printing (it prints only in black and white).
The manual could have been a bit shorter, though it was still readable and often provided useful information. The size of the device itself is not too much larger than a comparable device in its category, and actually fairly small compared to some of the larger laser all-in-ones I've seen. It could easily fit in any home office or business with room to spare.
In general, the MFC-7340 has exceeded my expectations and I've not experienced any issues or problems with it. It's an excellent product, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who looking for a nice little device that does a great job with copies, prints, faxes and scans.
