I’ve been working from home since April last year and found my old printer frustratingly slow in printing & scanning. This Brother printer has changed that.
Installation was straight forward, connecting it to my WiFi router and printing the initial test pages were quick & easy to do.
The only issue I had was inputting the password into the touchscreen. It’s a little small and my fat fingers kept catching the wrong character. This was easily resolved by using the eraser end of a pencil to select the password.
The video I’ve uploaded shows the printer operating in quiet mode, which is a massive improvement on my old printer. It does slow the printing a little but that’s not a major issue for me.
Colours and print quality are good. The colours appear a little dull but as I’m not looking for high quality gloss photos, I don’t see it as an issue. I’ve uploaded a sample showing the original photo with the printed photo below.
The printer does not dual scan, which is something I miss. I have a lot of double sided pages I need to scan, it would’ve been 4 stars had that facility being included. When advertising as a home office product, I do think this would be one of the facilities you’d expect.
