Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Brother MFC-7820N 5-in-1 Network Monochrome Laser Multifunction Center
Customer Review: The best all-in-one for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried a lot of different printers, all-in-ones and separate. This printer performs everything perfectly. It is very easy to figure out how to use it. It took me 5 minutes to connect it to the network and make my computer recognize it (you just have to run a CD).
Copying is a breeze. Also the fact that you can send faxes from the scanned and from the feeder is extremely useful, so if I have to send a small format paper I do not have to copy it first and only then send it.
The 32 MB of memory is very useful. It allows the printer to store several jobs, and for the network printer it is a must.
One fact I know from experience about brother printers that unfortunately you can not use aftermarket ink. I used aftermarket on different brother printer and it clogged the drum. However on the bright note, brother ink is one of the cheapest.
Output bay is very small so I do not think I can print a lot of paper in the same sitting (I would estimate not more then 100 pages)
I am extremely impressed with this printer and the price (and it is also networked). The comparable Dell (in the same price category but more expensive) is made my Lexmark and do not perform at all as good.
Customer Review: Awesome multifunction laser fax machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a home-based business and does a lot of faxing (both incoming and outgoing). I have no complains about this bad boy. I also used it as a network printer. Had a little problem installing the network drivers but with some help from Brother customer support I was able to get it up and running in no time. One of the best customer services I've ever dealt with. Distinctive ring feature works very well too. I have a single phone line that receives both fax and voice. The only issue I have with this unit is it cannot receive incoming faxes over the network. You have to attach the USB or parallel cable to be able to receive incoming faxes to your computer. I think the reason for this is that the machine does not know which computer on the network to send the incoming fax to. Maybe in future upgrades they can add a configuration to enter destination IP address(es) for incoming faxes if you want to receive them directly to a computer in your network.
Other than that the machine is a work horse, plus its sleek and sexy. Good bang for your moolah. So if you are in the market for a multifunction fax unit consider the MFC-7820N.
Customer Review: Very Impressive
Summary: 5 Stars
When my Sharp AL-800 copier broke down after 5 years, I decided to try upgrading to an MFC, which would also replace my fax and printer. My fax is a Brother Intellifax 1820c, and it had difficulty after about 1 year with the ink jets. So I researched MFC's and decided to try the Brother MFC-7820N since it is laser (not ink jet) and reasonably priced. (The customer service received from Brother for my fax machine was very good; the repair service was covered by Brother, and they repaired the problem quickly and properly.) I received my Brother MFC a few days ago and have been quite impressed. It is very easy to install, with excellent, well-written instructions. And, everything works as it is supposed to. The copier is fast (even faster than my prior copier). The print quality is excellent. Controls are easy to use. Also, the machine is relatively compact and fits conveniently on my file cabinet. I'm using USB to connect it to my PC with Windows XP. The software included is easy to install and works well with Windows. In conclusion, this is an excellent all-in-one machine that comes from a solid company.
Customer Review: Excellent All-In-One for Small Business
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in charge of purchasing a printer, fax, and copier for our new office, and I decided on the Brother 7820N because of its versatility, and especially because of its built-in network interface. The product is flawless!
Within the hour I got the printer set up on our network, installed on every computer in the office. Setting up the printer is easy with the browser-based interface, where I was able to assign the printer a static IP. We now receive faxes, print, and make photo copies quickly and easily, on all one machine!
The major advantages of this multifunction include:
* Price (very affordable all-in-one, with laser printing)
* Speed
* Flexibility
* Network Interface
* Compact Design
* Auto-feeder for faxing and copying
* Fax directly from computer for added confidentiality
I have not experienced any dissapointments with this printer. It is perfect for us. We are a company of four now, and we expect it to last with us until next year at least, with eleven employees.
Be sure to buy a network cable -- it's not included.
Customer Review: Great MFC at an affordable price
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned HP, Epson and Brother multifunctional machines since 1998. This machine is the best I have ever used.
First of all, it is compact . Small foot print makes it easy to be placed anywhere in my home office.
It is networkable. Not only can you print through network. You can also scan and copy through network. I have 2 laptops, 1 desktop Windows XP and a Mac G5 at home and they all share the machine perfectly. HP has a full function print server that is designed for HP's MFC machines and it costs $299.
Print quality is good. When it comes to laser printing, I always prefer HP, but this machine prints a good as HP.
One other impressive feature is its web interface that allows you to view and change your configuartions using a browser. No configuration program to install or to take up your computer's memory.
I am very happy with this machine and highly recommend it to any small offices and home offices.
