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. Review: Brother Laser printers are fantastic, work without the fuss of most printers. Consistent and fast. - After suffering with overpriced ink and inkjet printers for years I finally decided to jump ship to a laser printer. This is leaps and bounds beyond a typical b&w inkjet printer in every way. The ink cost is lower, it prints faster, more consistently, no paper jams, why oh why didn't I switch to laser earlier? I had heard that Brother brand was highly recommended and I'm a total convert now. This printer just works out of the box. I hooked it up to my network and was printing in minutes. It also has an app but everything is totally usable without ever touching the app which I appreciate. Installing the ink cartridge was also very easy, it's designed so it's pretty difficult to not do it correctly. The scanner copier functions also work perfectly, no issues at all. Can't recommend Brother laser printers enough.
