Works Great So Far! Reasonably Fast & Clear Printing - Convenient Wireless Connectivity

I have used Brother laser printers for years. I decided on this particular model, mostly because it offered just exactly what my small business and home office needs were. I have no use for a fax machine any more, so this printer and scanner was really all I wanted, and it seemed like a pretty reasonable value. I have tested it several times with various paper media. I print normal text documents, some with graphics, envelopes, and voucher checks regularly. This printer has handled everything really well so far. There was a bit of a learning curve with some odd sized envelopes, but I'm pretty sure my struggle was with the software I was using, not the printer. I did experience a couple of situations where the machine said there was a paper jam when using the front tray to print an envelope, but it was easily resolved. The quality and clarity of the print seems great to me. You can adjust the print density, toner ecology, etc. pretty easily. The machine itself has a heavy duty and durable feel to it, and I'm happy with how it has been working so far for me.WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY: I was reading other people's comments about having issues with this. I am going to share what I found worked best for me, and maybe that will be helpful for others. Since I have owned and used several Brother printers in the past, I've learned that getting the machine on my wireless network is easiest by simply using the machine's console push buttons. I know in the literature it says it should be discoverable by going through the steps outlined in the instructions after downloading their software. However, I've never had consistent luck with that process. I still download the software to make sure I have the right drivers and features loaded, but when it comes to getting the printer on my network, I just use the machine's console to find my router and then type in the password. It's a tiny bit tedious typing the password using the console buttons, but I've never had it not work for me. Honestly, seconds after doing that, the wireless printer was discoverable and available to all of my devices. I was able to print from my CPU, laptop, phone, tablet, etc. without any issues. I know that's not the only way of setting up the wireless functionality on these printers, but it's what I've learned causes the least amount of stress and frustration. I hope that's helpful. They provide details on how to accomplish this method in the accompanying literature that comes with the printer.At this point, I have no reason not to give this five stars. If something shoud change down the road, I'll be sure to update this review.

You never know it was renewed let's brand new works brand new

Got it yesterday but had to remove my 15-year-old brother black and white laser printer and make room for this one and my color inkjet brother scanner, printer before I could set it up. I bought the renewed version for $137 versus the $200 new one and this thing came out of the box looking brand spanking new took 30 minutes to set it up have it updated and working like a champ. You never know! Haven't figured out all the bells and whistles yet but that'll be in the next few days but so far the scanning and copying and printing have been outstanding. I've owned brother equipment for over 15 years and never had any issues until my small black and white laser just finally was cost prohibitive buying a new drum and toner and this one at 137 does it all. Now I think they're one up to 179. Very happy with my purchase

A nice printer

While I'm spoiled by the pictographic touchscreen on my Brother MFC–L3770CDW which this printer doesn't have, this printer is nevertheless a very nice unit. Its output is beautiful, as output from a black-and-white printer goes – the blacks are pure and vivid, which they aren't always on my 3770, and it's not a great noisemaker like some printers.The one issue I had in setup was that my Mac seemed to have an outdated driver on it or something that it tried to use to communicate with the printer, causing it to sometimes take 10 or 15 or 20 minutes for the printer to print, and to sometimes not print at all. When I went into the Printers and Scanners pane on the computer, it interestingly showed this machine as a fax but not as a printer. So I started by deleting this machine from the Printers and Scanners pane and adding it back in. This caused the printer to show up as a printer, but I noticed when I did this that the computer did not choose AirPrint as the driver like it had the 3770, but chose some other generic driver...and the print delay/failure issue persisted. So finally I deleted all the devices from the Printers and Scanners pane and added this one back in again, whereupon the Mac did choose Secure AirPrint as the driver and all printing problems were resolved.When connected to wifi, the printer's wifi button lights up a steady green, which is great for letting you know the printer is successfully connected to the network but less great if you plan to sleep in the same room as the printer. My solution for this is to go into the printer's menu and go Network -> WLAN (wi-fi) -> WLAN Enable (I believe it's called) and set that to Off for the night, which causes the green light to turn off, and then to go through the process again and re-enable the WLAN in the morning. This allows me to turn off the green light for sleeping without having to set up the network connection all over again in the morning (entering the password for the network is a bit of a pain on this machine as it doesn't have any form of alphanumeric keypad, so you have to just use the plus and minus buttons on the front to go through numbers, symbols, and the alphabet in sequence until you get to each character you want to enter, which is a bit arduous and time-consuming, so you really don't want to do it any more often than is absolutely necessary). Once it's all set up, however, it's quite the nice printer and if you're in the market for a black-and-white printer, I can recommend this one.Update: I've stopped disabling the wifi to turn off the green light as I've found that, once re-enabled, the connection can behave badly as described above, with way-too-long print times and so forth; nowadays I choose the much less elegant but more effective and less troublesome option of putting something black (e.g., a sock) over the green light at night so the connection will not be broken, which in turn has proven effective in keeping the printer printing as one expects it to. A more elegant solution that would serve the same purpose might be to find a little black plastic cap for...something...that just covers the green-lit wifi button. But you get the idea: your objective is to block the light at night without interrupting the wifi connection so problems don't arise from the latter scenario.Enjoy!
