Duplex?
Good quality printing, but no duplex (2-sided) scanning. Just duplex printing. The features description on the box and online needs to be clearer about that. e.g., "Automatic duplex printing. (single-sided scanning)"

Seamless installation
Very pleased with this printer. It was easy to connect to all my devices, and prints documents quickly. I previously had an Hp that NEVER worked properly and I spent two four hour time blocks trying to get it connected to my computer, to no avail. Which reminds me, I need to go on their site to review my horrible experience

This brand came recommended and I was eager to try a laser printer in my home office for the first time. Set up was easy and output was crisp and clean.
The first issue came when I tried to print 2-sided which resulted in a tumble print vs head to head. The second issue came when using the ADF for the first time. First issue was resolved by downloading a different print driver - which was new for me — my question being why was this necessary and why wasn’t I instructed to do that during initial setup? Still working on the second issue. While the Brother Support site helped resolve the first issue, it was not for the second.

1 Month and Already Broken
Only 1 month in use and already broken. Called Brother for Warranty and HORRIBLE! TWO HOURS on the phone making you try different things on the printer to FINALLY tell you ok we will send you a REFURB! Now the problem is it's been several days and no tracking no confirmation for ticket or trouble. Would never buy another brother printer again.

I have one Brother printer that does a perfect job with envelopes. My two higher cost machines crumple them. I print a fair amount of postage so this is a disappointment.

An Excellent Workhorse
We've used this printer for a couple of years and absolutely love it. The only issue is that it does not duplex scan. Other than that one issue, it an absolute workhorse ready to print anyway we want, scan and fax. It makes the office run much smoother!

Product not fulfilling expectations
Not what we thought it would be: Ink runs out much quicker than we thought it would. Sometimes things print long after we send them which ends up wasting paper because we reprint thinking it didn't go through.

Paper curls
pages curl no matter the brand or type of paper and the print will quit, it seems, via page count not from being out of toner. pages look fine but won't print until you replace cartridge. Big waste of resources. good quality prints otherwise.

Slow to start printing, QBP check print problems
This unit is much slower to start printing that my prior office printers. Once it is set to the quiet mode the sound level is OK. One aggravation I have not found a solution to is getting checks to print from the MP feeder. I have tried a dozen different suggestions and QBP checks try to print horizontally. I would have returned this if I could have for this reason.

Dual Printer Trays is a Lifesaver!
We bought this machine because of the ability to have two paper trays. It is amazing! No more switching checks in and out with paper. It's a little slow to spool and warm up compared to an inkjet.

Connectivity issues
The process of getting 4 office computers set up to connect with this printer is way more complicated then it should be. Multiple tech support calls in to Staples Tech Support (where we bought the printer from and bought the tech support warranty as well) ended up advising us the DOWNGRADE our internet service from 5G to 2.4G as this printer is not used to such high end internet speed. I'm still confused on that ...... meanwhile connectivity issues still exist
Our relation ship status with this printer? ..... It's complicated.

This would be 5 stars if it scanned in duplex.
Prints great, amazin ad integration to store scans on my nas. But the fact that it doesnt actually scan via the adf in duplex makes adf scanning virtually useless.

BLACK LINE-BEWARE
Black line appeared after 4 months in use only when using print from feed. Followed all directions to clean. Webiste has videos and the compartment near the white guard on the inside cover does not open per video. It is not manufactured as videos indicate. The AIO has to be physically brought to an authorized repair and they claim it is not covered under the general warranty. Good luck finding that warranty on the website. So now I have to physically carry it out of the office? Hire a strong man? Had an IT person set up initial installation for 7-person office. Too difficult to set up double-sided printing, options are minimal. Copying from glass cuts off edges. Not a great solution, but a cheap one.

Good printer but no great
As a printer the printouts are great. The speed of printing is not the fastest medium sized print jobs of < 50 pages take quite a long time to complete the printing. The document scanner does not handle duplex document automatically. For a printer of this size the paper tray should hold a full ream of paper which it does not, which means for a busy office a lot of paper fills are needed.

As a printer, YES. As a copier/scanner, NO.
Good for basic printing needs, but if you're looking for a scanner or copier that does double sided this is not the one for you.

Good printer does not duplex copy through ADF
Ok printer. Does not duplex copy with the ADF. This is something I do a lot and I would have not purchased it. I figured my old brother did it why wouldn't a new more expensive model have that feature. I have to use the scanner bed and flip the page over. It's not a crazy big deal but it just adds time.

My Brother Printer Initial Review
I purchased this printer as a replacement. It is used primarily for home projects and for an annual event that requires copies of various documents for up to 500 participants, usually 6 - 10 documents per attendee. I also use the fax, although I have not had a reason to use it at this time. I typically fax document 3-10 times a year.
Many of my printed documents are printed two sided. It was my misunderstanding that this printer would print duplex copies without the need to manually flip the page in the printer because of a dual scanner built into the print screen. I have since found this is not the case with this printer when trying to print 2 sided originals to 2 sided copies. I can't do this without manually removing and turning the original document on the document screen. Fortunately, I can print two sided from documents sent from the computer.
The document quality is excellent and toner life appears to be good, although I have not made enough copies to really accurately express toner life expectancy.
Access to the toner cartridges and the drum unit appears easy. I have not looked for the waste unit yet but expect it should be readily accessible as well.
Before processing I talked with a repair facility and they gave the Brother printers high marks.
Overall I am currently happy with my purchase of this printer and expect to have it for many year to come.

Excellent printer, easy setup
This is a really nice printer that produces clear text and sharp images. (Though, as with most laser printers it's not suitable for high quality photo printing.) The setup process was fast and easy, the menu tree is clear and logical and it sync’s flawlessly with my WiFi network and AirPrint devices. Print speed, even in duplex mode, is plenty fast for my use. During the print cycle it produces a sort of plastic-clanking sound that makes me a little worried about long product life. However, my last Brother printer lasted seven years and over 40K prints, so I’m hopeful this one will last a long time as well.
My only real complaint is that the replacement toner cartridges are way, way too expensive.

Overall great product
It’s a great all in one printer. Not giving 5 stars because it is a slow printer. Takes longer than past printers to process wireless printing. When printing larger number of copies it will print 10 sheets-pause-“think”-print 10 more sheets- repeat. It makes for a slow process.
