Hello ... I also purchased this printer ... In windows X I cannot choose which tray to print from. I just get "tray 1" or "auto select". In windows 7 the printer works normally .... Could you help me on solving this problem please?
I was interested in seeing a tabloid size print as well as a discussion of the Inkvestment issue(s). But, you answered several of my questions and thumbs up for that.
Thank you so much for this, now i understand how to use each part of it. I have bought this for a simple home use cause i wanted the option to scan and print in A3 as i use this size for arts and craft ideas. I love injekt printer cause with those printers you can print at home on thin cotton fabric and also tissue napkin paper and use it for a lot of ideas and decorations too. Thank you (:
I have ordered the Brother MFC-J6955DW which I believe is very similar to the model you reviewed. I hope it will meet out needs, what I wish to know if it can take thicker types of paper like glossy or even matte photo paper and the print quality on those papers. Also because I have switched to an Iphone, I also sould like to know if this printer ic compatible with Apple air print. The review is very good, thank you!
Is this printer also compatible with matte, gloss or luster papers? For like stickers and thick gsm paper. Or maybe do you know any other model that can do so?
Hello Dave, Thank you for the review. I appreciate the thought and effort you put into this. A few questions.... What Wifi standards does this printer support? Can I connect simultaneously to WIFI and my LAN (what speed)? At the time of recording, what do replacement color cartridges cost? If one uses the FAX option, does the printer have the option of storing the incoming FAX(s) on a PC for review prior to printing?
I didn't know what you meant by A3 and A4 paper so I looked it up and as it turns out, I'm still a bit confused by both. I'm in the U.S. and am looking for one that can scan and print what we call legal size paper (8.5X14) here in America. Will either of those trays fit 8.5X14 paper?
Ordered MFC-J6957DW but it scans documents landscape mode not vertical as most printers. I can’t seem to find in the settings where you can change it so that it’s automatically vertical when you receive it in email. Any ideas ?
I decided to purchase this printer after watching your review and I can say that I am content in general. There is only one issue that I need to solve. In windows X I cant choose which tray to print from. In windows 7 I can choose which tray to print from before sending the print to the machine. Could you advise me on how to solve my problem ? Thanks a lot.
Not an MFC - there are lots and lots of jumbo sized printers - just go your local Fed-x store (or similar) to take a look at what they have. For example, they have poster printers for about $8 a copy as I recall, banner printers, and blueprint printers.
How would you rate the durability of this all in one? Does it suffer from clogged ink? I would like to print in volume but still undecided between an inkjet or a laser at the same price.
I already bought it, as long u use daily should be not problem or least print once a day (FULL COLOUR CMYK) . The ink is cheap! compare to canon(I use canon before the E series). As long u keep printing should be not clog(I already use about 3 month now, all good and really fast!)
For my small business and personal uses, I'm looking at 4 possibilities. For an over all AIO; Print, Copy, Scan and Fax. Ink sustainment is a major factor that is a requirement. Does anyone have any experience, insight or knowledge in comparing the Brother InkInvestment as compared to the Epson You Fill the Tank types of AIO's or the excellent HP Envy Photo 7855 AIO? Or the various HP/ etc Color Laser AIO's? Over the years I had both the Two Cartridge HP Ink AIO's and a Four Cartridge AIO. My experience has been that the Two Ink Cartridges use lesser ink than the Four Ink Cartridge version. I'd like to see HP also come out with such a an large tank Ink well type AIO series. As HP did come out with their Ink sustainment plans which only applies to certain models. The HP Color Laser AIO's also look very promising as well. It looks like Laser or these Larger Ink reservoir types of AIO printers are AIO's of the future. Thanks for your insightful video!
Need your expertize. I am in the market for a wide format All-in-One small office 2-tray capacity printer. i.e. Brother MFC-J5945DW vs HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 vs Epson WorkForce Pro WF-7840
Demonstration of the paper tray load of the A3 would be very useful... you have to extend the tray so it sticks out, and leave it out to make it available. You should really have demonstrated the 11 x 17 printing and scanning option. The 11 x 17 scanning is the only thing differentiating this printer from the MFC-J5945DW, if I am not mistaken. So why would anybody even buy the MFC-J6945DW ?? Only for the 11 x 17 scan. Yet not even a mention...
Yes, as MakeWayForCJ said. Note that he says he's going to do it at 6:29, and that you can see that it scans both sides in a single pass, then he comments on it (and shows you the results) at 7:07
Just bought one. Surprised to find a video so well done and right to the point. Thanks mate.

I am looking for a good printer and I love this review.

Great review! I think I am sold on it!

The review is very good, thank you!

That is a monster multi function Brother printer.
Thank you for all that information.
Very good review
Double side copies as well?
Great review Dave !
Great video can you do one of setting th sprinter up to print envelopes
I was hoping you would show the ink tanks
Does the ink go dry ? This was the problem with me when I used inkjet printer long time ago
theres no cartridges so it not suppose to clog
Very informative...nice speech pattern.
How do you get a fax confirmation sheet
are the two trays for a3 and a4?
Is this printer also compatible with matte, gloss or luster papers? For like stickers and thick gsm paper. Or maybe do you know any other model that can do so?

If one uses the FAX option, does the printer have the option of storing the incoming FAX(s) on a PC for review prior to printing?
What is the difference between this one and the MFC-J6955 ? Also does it support Apple air print?
…I think Apple air print app has a subscription fee from what I can tell in 2024

How do I print on envelopes?
Can i ask if I can photocopy through the scanner? I need a copier thats wide
is there a wide format printer for like 12" wide by 24" long?

Can you scan photos or film negatives on this machine?
How does scanning work if you can't use the app?
I will benefit if you make a video on how to print hard paper to do door hangers or post cards
A+!
can it scan duplex?
can you do bleed

Dear friends, good afternon, you can help, i need extract the count impress of machine, thanks

That's what I was most interested in too.

Pleaz can you help me to imprim with computer in rectoverso
The one thing I wanted to see was the INKvestment thing.
up to A3? not A3?
How to scan a large copy like A3 paper not A4
I like the aussie accent.
However it can NOT do Poscript or Print PDF's from the USB port.
That wee detail is hidden away on page 635 of the horrible 643 page manual.
It is annoying that there are no real reviews for this printer on youtube

11x17 scanning and output... is super useful though in many situations.
it can be duplex scan ?
Yes, that's what he did here ---> 7:07 when he said he scanned "double sided". Double sided is the same as duplex scanning.
@@MakeWay4CJ thank you 😊
@@ahmadmansoor2030 You're welcome! Be well!
Yes, as MakeWayForCJ said. Note that he says he's going to do it at 6:29, and that you can see that it scans both sides in a single pass, then he comments on it (and shows you the results) at 7:07
@@rafowell thank you 🌹
