Visit goo.gl/pvxyyv to learn more about Brother Printers MFC-9330CDW if you do get new cartridges try these goo.gl/5HA5EU Linkyo ones. They work REALLY well :)
You can do a test print from the dialogs on the printer itself see which colors are not printing on the test print... fyi ~ if it's telling you to replace the cartridge many times you don't need to. Simply reset the cartridge / page counter. Then shake the cartridge and put it back in.
Thanks very much. I like you have been fed up wasting my time and money with ink jets and have decided to take the plunge to a more serious printer. You've made my printer shopping experience much easier with these videos. The other printer I was considering is a Fuji Xerox but your video has swung this decision in favour of the Brother. Sorry I can't help you out in return by using the Amazon link - the shipping costs to Australia would be as much as the printer.
Hi Matthew, thanks for the insightful review; I really appreciate your candidness. I was wondering if you could elaborate or do a video on the pass-through feature with irregular (heavier) paper. You mention in the video that in the future you might try printing post cards. I would be curious to see it prints on heaver paper weight and double sided; perhaps if you were to pass through printing on paper bags (material that has a bit more thickness to it), would the printer be robust enough to accommodate this type of printing.
+bigfishnerd I'm not sure about a paper bag. I have done quite a few post cards now. You have to use the bypass door on the back so it goes straight out and you cannot do duplex printing when you use the really heavy stock but other than that I've not had any trouble. However a paper bag is several folds of paper so I'm really not sure how it would take that. I'd probably do a sticker and transfer the print onto the bag that way.
*****, thanks for your response and I'll keep looking for alternatives. Its good to hear that the post cards go through the printer well. I think through your vids you demonstrate that this printer is a good overall printer for business and I might actually purchase one in the end for admin purposes as opposed to product creation printing.
Did you ever get a chance to print off any photos? What was your impression? I am looking for a printer that can do photo cards. I don'tneed the photos to look like something in national geagraphic but I also want them to still look very nice. The scanning and copying features are a bonus, but I figure if I get something they may as well be built in.
Thanks. Your video has been very helpful to me. Questions: How toner cartriges bring? How many pages could you print? Is the Automatic documents feeder double sided?
The MFC9330CDW is full duplex / prints on both sides. It takes 4 toner cartridges black, cyan, magenta, and blue. I've reloaded cartridges and bought a new set. Got nearly 10,000 prints out of the printer, drums, and waste toner bin so far without any trouble. I couldn't say exactly how many pages each cartridge can print. However, it's pretty decent, especially if you reset as the printer will tell you they are empty before they ever are. It's very cheap printer to operate. I also reload toner in the cartridges and get a couple reloads out of each cartridge before I have to throw them out.
iz3da I think the difference is it does full duplex (2 sided scanning) right? I'm still loving my 9330 :) If I'd known though think I would have gone with the L8850CDW
Matthew, I have the Brother MFC_9340CDW and I need to kno, How do change paper to ledger size? Alos what does the A3,, A4 and I also need to copy a ledger paper onto a ledger paper.
Hi, after several months of normal and happy use of this machine, we are experiencing huge problems to print images -even black text- in well and proper sheets (I would love if youtube allowed me to load an image here to join these explanations...) We have followed all tutorials and steps to clean all we could, In seems to burn like plastic does. Desperate... Any idea?
+Trini Martinez i Rubio oh my gosh... that's not cool to hear. Sorry for your troubles. Shoot me a pic in email :) weinerschizel (at) gmail (dot) com. Let's see if my somewhat archaic knowledge of hacking printers may help.
We have this at the office and I can NOT figure out how to make it FAX. We receive faxes just fine. When I hit the HOOK button, there is a dial tone. When I send a fax, it just says "dialing" but it never connects. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you for the video; it has been very helpful. I am have two small problems. 1 - I can't print multiple documents using PDF; I updated my Adobe and still it will only print one document. If I used WORD it will print multiple documents 2 - If I download a document from email (GMAIL) it makes me save the document before I can print. I am using an older machine (VISTA) but my Inkject could do both items above. What did I do wrong?
do you empty the waste toner or buy a new wt-220cl? I've only seen ONE video on a related printer about emptying this. All other info says not to reuse it, but that's also said about toner cartridges as well... thoughts or a new video idea?
R Elston here's the link goo.gl/pvxyyv (it's also in description if you scroll up). Little update, I'm confident I've printed over 20,000 pages with mine now cannot say exactly as the unit went out and brother helped me rebuild it. I'm a real estate agent and print constantly. Honestly, it's an indestructible office copy station but darn, it's seriously like the little train that could... It's still chugging along and printing even after resetting the drums a few times. I did have one blooper, I tried to pull a jammed paper out of the fuser and ripped it. Brother sent me a new unit (minus drums, cartridges and waste tray). They paid all shipping and turn around time was FAST. I've also reloaded cartridges many times and they seem to work with reasonable quality but best best it always new... I found these are VERY affordable, goo.gl/5HA5EU Long story short, some of the best office equipment I've bought yet.
a bloody hard printer to setup for wireless printing. It's taken me ages to set it up for a Mac. Now I'm trying to set it up with Windoze and I hate it. Did I mention how much I hate it...?
Hi, In the pictures of this printer (which you can see on Brother's website, for example), you can see a numpad on the right of the touch screen. In your video I can't see it. Is it there, and the video is just dark?
+barak1997 the pad actually illuminates when you touch it. Otherwise it's black / hidden :) Kind of cool... but if I had a gripe I'd prefer the pad remains visible.
Could you please check for me how it is "attached" to surface? Whether the whole of its bottom is attached to the surface or whether there are 4 attachments to get the machine laid flat on the surface? The reason i am asking is because this machine is 8 cm longer in depth than the area that is available to me. If the whole of its bottom could attach to the surface, that would still fit even though its depth exceeds a bit. Thank you!
Wilson Wong I'm a little confused? Are you referring to how the printer rests on the table? I see 4 little rubber pads to keep it slightly elevated and from scratching the surface of your desk / counter top. Let me know if that answers your question :)
pc mag really rips into this printer for poor color graphic picture quality.. but your original test print seemed decent enough.. looking to replace an ancient hp 7400 series printer, cause I'm sick of the remove and check color cartridge nightmare!
+Gb Xx I honestly feel an inkjet would better serve you if you're looking to print photos. However, high volume acceptable (to good) quality color print is what this does. Laser isn't really meant to do photo prints. That said, I do have photos on my wall I printed with this printer. They look as good as anything I'd have printed by a print shop. However, the printer quickly runs out of toner doing that or you end up with small anomalies if you do it often enough. Really I don't feel this is a printer to do picture prints though. I use it to make flyers for my listings for which it does a decent enough job.
i understand that color pics may not exceed 600dpi.. but its not a deal breaker. most of my printing will be b&w, maybe with mixed color. ive noticed that as toner goes low or corona wires/drum wear issue regardless of which cartridge it pulls from, images get blurry.. this is with most laser printers, just their natutre... just a maintenance issue when you do volume prints
It's a personal feeling but I don't feel as though printing much over 300DPI results in a higher quality image. Most professional printing is kept at around 300 dpi
Hello my husband bought this brother MFC-9332CDW from Germany and we are French lol and I am wondering if it is possible to change the language please thank you
Good question. I've never seen this error. Sorry I don't know much about it or how to upgrade the memory :( I'd say try to contact brother on that one.
Does this unit have toner cartridges that are chipped? Or do they use a reset wheel? I will be looking to refill the cartridges when I run out and save some cash.
There are no chips, the counters are all internal programming by page number. This is one selling point of the brother laser printer line. Nearly all the others have chips which can raise the cost of refilling. Oddly enough, I think the brother inkjets do have them-- but not lasers. (all inkjet mfg now chip their cartridges with FEW exceptions- but there are workarounds & 3rd party chips to refill)
+ardythe14 yup... as long as it's not wider than 8.5".. I have scanned legal paper before for my business :) I simply put it on the ADF set the paper size on the printers touch screen and it scans it :)
Oh weird... I am sorry I have never used the fax on mine. Is your internet hard wired? If so, maybe your phone line is running through the same line. This could cause you to drop packets.
It will only work if all cartridges are installed. You may be able to place black toner in all the other slots, but not for sure I do not have enough cartridges to test that. I know the drums for color is different.
Printing quality looks horrible. People watching the video cant have a real impression of the printing quality if the video is very dark and of bad picture quality. Think of that the next time you make another review video.
+Leza ODowd What exactly did you do in the cleaning? Also is it completely white strips? Are they consistently located in same spot on page or do they change location from print to print?
I purchased and do like the printer but I need to print about 150 envelopes a month and guide says I can only feed one envelope at a time. Is this true?
+Mary Palma yes this is correct. Manual feed tray only takes one envelope at a time. You may be able to fit them in the paper tray. But I've not tried that. Sorry to hear you were not happy with your printer. Let us know if you find something better :)
I know this is an old video, but The 9330 is a Class 1 Laser Product If a printer uses LED technology to print, it will say. But you have to look close and read very carefully. For the last three months , I thought I have found a laser printer , several times, but most times the one I was viewing printed with Led technology. The 9330 is the king of AIO printers, for the $300-$400 range.
Try this link... select Mac radio box button, and then your OS Version, support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=mfc9330cdw_us_eu_as
Hi Mathew, Just wondering if you know why my brother mfc-9330-cdw keeps telling me its offline (wireless) it's like it wont come out of sleep mode any help would be appreciated
Debbie Zimmer excellent question. I'm not sure, here's what I'd try (1) unplug the printer for 5 minutes then plug it back in (2) check that it's got the correct wireless network settings / passwords (you will have to do this through the printers menu system / screen (3) set printer to factory defaults using printers built in screen (4) reinstall the driver.
+ballerinagirl860 Yeah it's the achilles heel of this printer. You need to be very careful. feed only one sheet at a time and make sure it goes in straight.
+Sonia Saini sure... I believe I have some videos on that on my youtube channel. It's pretty simple though. Unscrew the cap on the right side of the toner cartidge (this is side w/o the gears). You will see a small plug you can remove and dump toner back into :)
I am not familiar with that kind of paper. I can say I have passed postcards through the manual feed tray. You can open a door at the back of the printer. Then they come straight out the back without ever bending. You cannot do auto two sided this way though. If you want both sides you have to feed them back through.
How can you tell if a brother printer uses a laser or LED? Which is better? Does the MFC-L2740DW use a laser or LED? Please reply to all of these questions. thank you.
The MFC9330CDW as I reviewed printer uses an LED. I don't know how to tell which process a printer uses other than reviewing the manufacturers documentation. And I couldn't tell you which process is better LED or Laser. However, what I can tell you is I've had no issues with print quality using my printer which uses the LED print process. I've even printed 8x10 photographs and framed them. They looked fantastic. I have also printed over 10,000 pages with no major issues yet, until recently the fuser unit went out. I believe possibly because of a paper jam that broke off a roller and ripped the fuser unit. Brother is rush mailing me a new printer at no cost! I was amazed with their customer support!
+dale hamilton the one I purchased came with toner. Have to double check the ad though :) There's a couple that may not... but they are more the exception.
When you click print. Then your print window will pop up titled "Print". Next click the button "Preferences" . Towards the bottom there's a setting for "2-sided / Booklet" select "2-sided" from the drop down. Click "OK" then "Print" button. Hope that helps :)
Excellent question. I couldn't say for sure. I get a complete set of toner now for about $80. It really depends on how much toner you use... how large the color prints are. eg. printing photos versus printing text. The tone seems to last a very long time. I'd imagine I've got it down to a very low cost but couldn't say exactly. I seldom change the toner... but I print less and less these days too. Sorry for the ambiguous answer, truth is, I'm not sure what it costs me to print.
Not really. It has option to email a scan on the menu.... however, simply opens your email application and places scan as an attachment. It doesn't email the scanned document by itself.
after this Video i'm seacranck! That what i see on this Laserprinter is very well looking i mean this is Super! I see this Printer and i think i must buy this Laserprinter.
Yes it does print them quite well. However if you plan on printing lots of them I believe a ink jet is better though I'm quality is pretty Mich the same
@@matthewjeschke this Brother printer is not good for photo, it leaves a flat looking print and NOT glossy, I spent way too much time with brother and after all they suggested like 'you have to use 'special' photo paper' nothing worked, I found that if you heat the pring again with even a hair dryer the ink melts into the print better but not like my Okidata did
the belt unit is under the cartridges, it is wide and black with a green tab for removal. if your unit did NOT come with a belt unit it would NOT WORK! the waste toner box is underneath that... check out some videos on the waste toner extraction, they show what the belt unit looks like upon removal. youtube: brother waste toner removal.
Tim Smith Thanks Tim. Since shooting this video I have become better antiquated with this printer. I've actually completely taken a couple of them apart now. If anybody is confused by my explanation in the video please see Tim's response above. Thanks!
I have printed quite a few boxes of printer paper... I had to replace the drums (I think I could have got more life out of them but cleaned them with 70% alcohol and left a residue). I accidentally ripped the fuser too. A paper got jammed and I pulled it out without releasing the tension. Other than that it's cranking away like a rock star yet.
Do you use the manual feed tray? If you use that and then open the bypass door (on back) I think it should work... I have not printed envelopes before though.
What software are you using? I wounder if it has your page size wrong? You could try passing 8.5x11 sheet through to see where it's applying the text in relation to the manual feed. Just a thought.
I've had the best luck with these right here goo.gl/5HA5EU I get most everything off Amazon :) Have ordered quite a few of the replacements now as I print many thousands of pages and tend to go through quite a bit of toner.
+Matthew Jeschke Do you print property brochures? I need to print quite a few a month. They are double sided and my daughter and I cannot get it to work properly. Prints one side and slow!
double side printing is about half as fast, single side is faster, but only as a single job, once you send the printer multiple jobs it will be slower... almost any low to mid grade toner based system printer would under similar circumstance
I don't really keep track. I do know I had to reset the cartridge a couple times though. I recently started using generic linkyo cartridges goo.gl/5HA5EU as well which seem to be lasting virtually forever. I print LOTS of full color picture flyers so even if I did keep count it probably would be far less than what you'd get :)
i bought 2 epson printer and less than year both of them out and down. im frustrated i cant depend on this. in all i have 4 printer...none not good. now im consider to buy this brother printer
Yeah, I had an epson that was the most expensive consumer grade inkjet they made. I bet it didn't even print a single 500 page stack of paper before it went south. I'll NEVER buy espon again. Then I had a Canon inkjet which actually worked VERY nicely. It was a great inkjet but I needed laser / led since I print such high volume now. The Brother has been very reliable. Reloading toner cartidges has been hit or miss but I've been able to reload quite a few with good results extending the life of some toner cartidges and saving a little more money yet. It's a very durable and good printer. I recommend it. (I've printed nearly 10,000 pages with it so far :)
***** i print wedding stuff.invitation,programs etc which model brother would you recommend? consider card stock paper is thick etc. i dont like my paper bend when printed. which model is best?
Excellent question... I thought maybe it was full duplex scanning but it doesn't do that either. At first glance looks like a newer version of the MFC-9330 CDW. Let me know if you're able to figure out the difference. May take a call to brother to ask.
Yes this printer can use HP paper like any other paper.
I got my Brother MFC9340CDW and works with any media paper.
does it work on c2s or 250gsm paper?
I work at the retail store and I am defiantly buying this printer. Thanks for reviewing it! :D
defiantly, eh? That'll show 'em.
You can do a test print from the dialogs on the printer itself see which colors are not printing on the test print... fyi ~ if it's telling you to replace the cartridge many times you don't need to. Simply reset the cartridge / page counter. Then shake the cartridge and put it back in.

Yes it can print smaller paper through the manual feed tray... But not preferred to print photos. You'd want a ink jet for that.
I got one same printer but I just can't download the printer driver. My mac is a OS 10.10.1. Hope you can help.
Try this link... select Mac radio box button, and then your OS Version, support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us_ot&lang=en&prod=mfc9330cdw_us_eu_as
Can you print on Construction Paper 9inX12in from this printer?
how to tel which cartage is finished in this printer ?
how many print i can make with normal colours?
Hi Mathew, Just wondering if you know why my brother mfc-9330-cdw keeps telling me its offline (wireless) it's like it wont come out of sleep mode any help would be appreciated
Debbie Zimmer excellent question. I'm not sure, here's what I'd try (1) unplug the printer for 5 minutes then plug it back in (2) check that it's got the correct wireless network settings / passwords (you will have to do this through the printers menu system / screen (3) set printer to factory defaults using printers built in screen (4) reinstall the driver.
Thanks Mathew will give it a try. If that doesn't work I might just add a new port with the IP address Will let you know how I go
Do you have trouble with the manual feed tray?
+ballerinagirl860 Yeah it's the achilles heel of this printer. You need to be very careful. feed only one sheet at a time and make sure it goes in straight.
Would you be able to show how to refill toner?
+Sonia Saini sure... I believe I have some videos on that on my youtube channel. It's pretty simple though. Unscrew the cap on the right side of the toner cartidge (this is side w/o the gears). You will see a small plug you can remove and dump toner back into :)
all brother printers have that fan noise. My Brother 22440d does the same thing
+Marshall Mayes It's a fan to cool the fuser... The fuser heats up and if it's not properly cooled could cause a problem.
Could this print 10-Point Tabloid Paper?
I am not familiar with that kind of paper. I can say I have passed postcards through the manual feed tray. You can open a door at the back of the printer. Then they come straight out the back without ever bending. You cannot do auto two sided this way though. If you want both sides you have to feed them back through.
thanks
How can you tell if a brother printer uses a laser or LED? Which is better? Does the MFC-L2740DW use a laser or LED? Please reply to all of these questions. thank you.
The MFC9330CDW as I reviewed printer uses an LED. I don't know how to tell which process a printer uses other than reviewing the manufacturers documentation. And I couldn't tell you which process is better LED or Laser. However, what I can tell you is I've had no issues with print quality using my printer which uses the LED print process. I've even printed 8x10 photographs and framed them. They looked fantastic. I have also printed over 10,000 pages with no major issues yet, until recently the fuser unit went out. I believe possibly because of a paper jam that broke off a roller and ripped the fuser unit. Brother is rush mailing me a new printer at no cost! I was amazed with their customer support!
***** LED is better I THINK because the prints has no streaking.
Ah good to know :)
does this come with ink or toner ready to go when bought from amazon with your link
+dale hamilton the one I purchased came with toner. Have to double check the ad though :) There's a couple that may not... but they are more the exception.
I worked a document in word office and has 2 pages. But I want to print both pages on one single page, on both sides. How I do that? Thanks
When you click print. Then your print window will pop up titled "Print". Next click the button "Preferences" . Towards the bottom there's a setting for "2-sided / Booklet" select "2-sided" from the drop down. Click "OK" then "Print" button. Hope that helps :)
I will try and let you know. Thanks
What is the cost by color printing of the printer?
Excellent question. I couldn't say for sure. I get a complete set of toner now for about $80. It really depends on how much toner you use... how large the color prints are. eg. printing photos versus printing text. The tone seems to last a very long time. I'd imagine I've got it down to a very low cost but couldn't say exactly. I seldom change the toner... but I print less and less these days too. Sorry for the ambiguous answer, truth is, I'm not sure what it costs me to print.
Hi, Does this printer have scan to email option? Please let me know
Not really. It has option to email a scan on the menu.... however, simply opens your email application and places scan as an attachment. It doesn't email the scanned document by itself.
after this Video i'm seacranck!
That what i see on this Laserprinter is very well looking i mean this is Super! I see this Printer and i think i must buy this Laserprinter.
can I print photos aswell?? with photo papers??
Yes it does print them quite well. However if you plan on printing lots of them I believe a ink jet is better though I'm quality is pretty Mich the same
@@matthewjeschke this Brother printer is not good for photo, it leaves a flat looking print and NOT glossy, I spent way too much time with brother and after all they suggested like 'you have to use 'special' photo paper' nothing worked, I found that if you heat the pring again with even a hair dryer the ink melts into the print better but not like my Okidata did
So, how long the cartridges lasts?
Approximately 2.500 pages b/w and 2.200 colour pages
I can not work out how to print
how to get a fax transmission report
i just got one of these and there was no belt unit in it, nor do I see where the waste toner box is
The waste toner I believe is under the cartridges between the cartridges, drums, and paper tray. I'm not sure what a belt unit it.
the belt unit is under the cartridges, it is wide and black with a green tab for removal. if your unit did NOT come with a belt unit it would NOT WORK! the waste toner box is underneath that... check out some videos on the waste toner extraction, they show what the belt unit looks like upon removal. youtube: brother waste toner removal.
Tim Smith Thanks Tim. Since shooting this video I have become better antiquated with this printer. I've actually completely taken a couple of them apart now. If anybody is confused by my explanation in the video please see Tim's response above. Thanks!
any problems with it
I have printed quite a few boxes of printer paper... I had to replace the drums (I think I could have got more life out of them but cleaned them with 70% alcohol and left a residue). I accidentally ripped the fuser too. A paper got jammed and I pulled it out without releasing the tension. Other than that it's cranking away like a rock star yet.
how do you replace the drums ?
I can't get the printer to print Envelopes correctly????
Do you use the manual feed tray? If you use that and then open the bypass door (on back) I think it should work... I have not printed envelopes before though.
Matthew Jeschke I do but the format is off it prints the mailing address at the top of the envelope and no return address
What software are you using? I wounder if it has your page size wrong? You could try passing 8.5x11 sheet through to see where it's applying the text in relation to the manual feed. Just a thought.
Matthew Jeschke. I was using word but I'll try that. my other brother printer worked just fine. thank you
You bet. Glad I could help out :)
Price is dropping below $30 as of 1/25/16 on amazon
+Tim Smith yeah they've really come down in price :) Almost cheaper to buy new cartridges than reload them anymore.
+Matthew Jeschke Where do you buy the ink cartridges inexpensive?
I've had the best luck with these right here goo.gl/5HA5EU I get most everything off Amazon :) Have ordered quite a few of the replacements now as I print many thousands of pages and tend to go through quite a bit of toner.
+Matthew Jeschke Do you print property brochures? I need to print quite a few a month. They are double sided and my daughter and I cannot get it to work properly. Prints one side and slow!
double side printing is about half as fast, single side is faster, but only as a single job, once you send the printer multiple jobs it will be slower... almost any low to mid grade toner based system printer would under similar circumstance
wondering how many pages, black and white or color you normally get?
I don't really keep track. I do know I had to reset the cartridge a couple times though. I recently started using generic linkyo cartridges goo.gl/5HA5EU as well which seem to be lasting virtually forever. I print LOTS of full color picture flyers so even if I did keep count it probably would be far less than what you'd get :)
great, thanks so much
i bought 2 epson printer and less than year both of them out and down.
im frustrated i cant depend on this.
in all i have 4 printer...none not good.
now im consider to buy this brother printer
Yeah, I had an epson that was the most expensive consumer grade inkjet they made. I bet it didn't even print a single 500 page stack of paper before it went south. I'll NEVER buy espon again. Then I had a Canon inkjet which actually worked VERY nicely. It was a great inkjet but I needed laser / led since I print such high volume now. The Brother has been very reliable. Reloading toner cartidges has been hit or miss but I've been able to reload quite a few with good results extending the life of some toner cartidges and saving a little more money yet. It's a very durable and good printer. I recommend it. (I've printed nearly 10,000 pages with it so far :)
***** i print wedding stuff.invitation,programs etc which model brother would you recommend?
consider card stock paper is thick etc.
i dont like my paper bend when printed.
which model is best?
a next question.
what is the difference between this and the MFCL8600CDW
Excellent question... I thought maybe it was full duplex scanning but it doesn't do that either. At first glance looks like a newer version of the MFC-9330 CDW. Let me know if you're able to figure out the difference. May take a call to brother to ask.
ok will do.....ive been reading alot.i want to make a purchase.i live in jamaica
A
Is this compatible with chrome OS ?
