Mine lasted 15 months before going DEAD. .......2007-09-17

I purchased this model for work and can honestly state that I use it no more than a couple times a week on average. 14 months of use and now I get skewed printing, a problem that technicians have told me is not an easy/cheap fix. So I place a call to Brother to see if I can get some sort of customer "service" and all I get is a cold "NO". We are not dealing with a $100 printer here and the fact that they were so unwilling to even cover the cost of parts makes me regret ever purchasing a Brother product. According to Brother, they cover for the first year after purchase or sixteen months after date of manufacturer. My machine is 18 months out of manufacturing, and 14 months since the date of purchase. Sure its a bit off but you would think that they would be willing to help out considering its a $500 machine. Unfortunately, the company has a long way to go in their customer service department.
Basically, I would suggest looking into other similar machines with better manufacturer's warranties...it will save you a lot of trouble and money in the long run.

We are very happy........2007-09-17

This is a user friendly, with a little concentration, true multi-tasker. For 1/3 the size of our previous copier and our previous fax machine put together, we have both. The print quality is truely outstanding and the auto feed function doesn't miss a page. You'll be pleased with this one!

Great network printer/scanner.......2007-09-16

Prior to buying this machine, I bought a Canon multifunction printer which was supposed to work with an Axis print server. To my disappointment, there were all sorts of problems and I would end up having to check on the print server every time I wanted to print or scan something.

Unlike the Canon, this machine has worked perfectly. I am able to scan and print from all 9 computers on my network without ever having issues. This is a great printer for anyone on a small network with moderate printing and scanning needs.

Poor support for Vista.......2007-08-29

I have had the machine for about a week and just now got around to doing some scanning with it. Much to my chagrin, I discovered that scanning from the machine (instead of using the software interface at the pc level), does not work. I called Brother and they told me that there is no support for Vista. Amazingly, they have no known plans to offer support for Vista in the future either.

A big disappointment from Brother. Why didn't they outline this incompatibility in their sales litterature? I hope that this post helps others avoid the hassle of buying a machine that will need to be shipped back.

Poor quality ink.......2007-08-19

This printer works well except for one major problem - Brother ink does not adhere to the paper. I use good quality stationery in my business and found that the ink smudged and rubbed off, particularly on envelopes. The problem is not too bad with regular white copy paper, but if you plan to use good stationery, don't buy a Brother printer!

Solid office machine.......2007-09-20

I have owned three different HP OfficeJet all-in-one. The Brother MFC-8870dw is the best yet.

PROS:
Fast printing. Excellent first page out speed with power saving turned off.
Good paper capacity.
Built in Ethernet networking works good. We do not use the wireless capability.
Excellent faxing. Scans the item before dialing number. So a paper jam doesn't waste a long distance fee.
The best document feeder i have used.
Duplexing works great.

CONS:
The software needs updating.
Mediocre first page out speed with power saving on.

Conclusion: This is a solid Small Business Machine. It may not be suitable for home use.

Dependable Printer.......2007-08-11

This printer is reliable and heavy-duty. Our business has had good response from technical support in wireless issues with our printer. The end result has been a total success.

mfc-8870 DW Toner issues.......2007-06-24

We got this machine it performed flawlessly. both pc & macs are printing via usb & wireless, quality is tops. After, the 2nd cartridge, we have NOT been able to install a new cartridge properly. We have bought 3 different cartridges none fit in properly. We got a new machine and still the same problem. when we manage to get the cartridge in properly the paper jams all the time. Darn, it was too beautiful to last.... we are using brother stock all the way and it still doesn't work. The techs at Fry's don't seem to be able to correct this either. so it is in the repair shop for 5 weeks and we have a brand new one that has the same symptoms...Man it was too good to be true. If we don't resolve this we are going to HP. We've had several Brother machine and they did work well.

Great choice.......2007-06-13

This machine works very well. It warms up fast from sleep mode. The printing looks great. The scanning and copying are excellent. The only problem I've had is that once in awhile the copies print a little off center. I haven't had time to figure out if it's my fault or the machine. Overall it's a great performer.

What you should know before you buy a Brother.......2007-05-15

I have owned the MFC-9420CN, but you might want to read this before purchasing any Brother printer. I have had this machine for about a year it cost over $1,000 and is suppose to be for business. This machine is in my home and I do use it more than probably most homes, but not nearly the amount a buisiness would use. After I print about 100-200 copies the machine overheats and needs to take a very long break, sometimes overnight. Make sure you read the entire manual. You need to know how heavy of paper you can use. It won't even take standard coverstock 67lbs. It will only take up to 55 lbs. This machine jams all the time, both at the paperfeeder on top as well as the papertray on the bottom. I have made many calls to Brother. I do get to speak to a live person; however, they are not all trained very well. One problem took them a week to fix, many many phone calls and a guy coming to my home twice. I will give them credit for taking care of the problem and not charging me anything. My most recent problem was with a toner cartridge of theirs. Read the fine print, they only guarantee their cartridge for 90 days with a receipt. So, now I'm out $100, yes, that is how much their cartidges costs. Think twice before purchasing any printer, read the fine print and do a lot of research.

Customer Reviews:

minimal.......2007-08-21

Brother 7820N:
1. Cannot reliably print envelopes, including and especially #10. If that's important to you, find another machine.
2. Scan for fax very slow. VERY slow. Interminable.
3. Software minimal, very poorly designed. Fax and scan management thin, missing functions and management options.
4. Support (help; manuals; online) incomplete, inaccurate.
5. Will not automatically re-set after paper jam clear. (Have to power cycle.)

Everything about the machine says "absolute minimum"--fit, function, design, engineering, materials, assembly, software (incl driver).

A reasonable guess: Brother put the machine out there to hit a price point. Sold a bundle of them on the strength of early reviews.

DO NOT BOTHER.......2007-07-18

I assume other printers/copiers must do their jobs better than this one. The quality of the output is fine but I have constantly had to clean the drum (done easily, admittedly). The two worst features are its inability to print envelopes--at least five creases per envelope on every try--and the print/copy output comes out very curled and winds up on the floor. This printer appears unable to copy/print more than ten pages without pushing it into a messy pile or all the way onto the floor. And did I mention the high degree of curling of the output (I did, but I will do it again). As a small business I will not buy a Brother printer-assuming they all share these faults (admittedly could be wrong). I will search another company's product line.

Oh, Brother !!!!! You are fast and cheap........2007-06-27

The printer is fast in all respects: printing, warm-up, copying, scanning and faxing. The automatic paper feed is outstanding. The output (printing and copying) is clear and excellent. The only negatives are that the envelopes get creased pretty badly when being printed and the paper seems to curl a lot. The creased envelopes, I think, has to do with the tightness of the paper feed. The creasing occurs only in the lower right quandrant of the printed envelope. The curled paper probably has to with heat within the unit (I never turn the printer off) although it goes into a "sleep mode" when unused.

I still recommend the printer because I generate a lot of paper output and create few envelopes. I am investigating a better grade of paper which may solve the curled paper issue. This is a fantastic value and it a good-looking device.

Nice small office printer.......2007-05-19

I have always been happy with Brother printers, and this one is no exception. It prints fast and clear, the functions are plentiful and it doesn't take up all that much desk space. One thing I have noticed is that the paper gets kind of curled after if comes out of the machine if you print a bunch of copies. And it's not very convenient to get the printed pages out of the middle of the machine. But overall, a very nice machine and one that I would recommend.

Super fast little guy.......2007-03-30

We have been using this printer for a little over a month now at work where we print an average of about 100 pages a day and this little guy chugs through it like it was nothing. The best part of it all is the speed. It is quick to warm up and prints 30ppm, which is a billion times faster than our previous Brother printer (or so it seems). The print quality is excellent but so are most laser printers so that's not really a stand-out. As mentioned by everyone else here, the envelopes do get a little crinkled when they are printed through the printer but that beats our last brother printer that seemed to jam more often than not when printing envelopes. I have yet to have an envelope jam. A trade off (crinkled envelope to jammed envelope) we are willing to take any day. To print an enveiope you have to open a little door in the front of the printer to access the feed for it. Not a big deal but I thought I would mention it. So, why four stars? Well, the crinkled envelope issue mainly and also the plastic quality used to build the machine seems a little cheap (at least compared to our last Brother printer). Definitely not a big deal but warrants the four stars.

Great Value.......2007-07-10

I've never owned a Samsung before but am pleasantly pleased with it's performance. Slow to start but multiple print jobs are quick! The toner saver button helps to conserve without giving up the quality of print. My only criticism is that the tray doesn't accomodate a full ream of paper - but I can live with that :)

Product Description

The OKI C9300 series printer is all you need for fast, versatile A4 and A3 printing in the office. It offers super-fast color printing at 30ppm and efficient mono printing at 37ppm without compromise. In fact the printer is so reliable and versatile it is unlikely you will need another printer. It can handle up to 5 different paper types and weights from separate trays, which the printer automatically senses, to ensure the perfect print, day after day, week after week, month after month.Unlike conventional laser color printers, with multi-pass technology taking each page around the imaging drum 4 times to achieve full CMYK color, the new Oki printers use an innovative and compact Digital LED system with four in-line Digital LED heads and image drums that print each page in a single pass. The automatic color calibration process built into the C9300 Series ensures precision color registration, whilst a new feature that stabilizes the amount of light emitted by the Digital LED heads, delivers outstanding print quality. The result is faster throughput and more precise registration of colors, yielding superb print quality. Typical applications include general office documents, reports and presentations with complex graphics and images, or the in-house printing of flyers, mail shots and web pages. Businesses such as property agencies, hotels, restaurants and major stores can produce high-quality handouts and displays, whilst technical and scientific organizations can print detailed, colored schematics, labels, charts and images with ease.
