This printer is great until you go to buy more ink. The hack is to change the date on the initial setup screen to 2021 year. Power off the machine then remove ALL the ink cartridges and refill as needed with a needle and syringe as seen on UA-cam. Then power back up and install the same cartridges when asked. It will then show them all as full.
The easiest and possibly best deal is their subscription service. $8.99 a month for 700 copies. $3.99 a month for 300 copies. Ink cartridges come in the mail.
PICTURE CAME OUT G. Just bought this for $100 so worth it. Ink is cheap too $14 for Black 200 Pages or $56 for 2 Pack 500 Page Yield, $9 for the Individual Colors. The MFC J1170DW seems to print Color a bit Faster but is more $$. Uses same ink.
Just changed over from a canon inkjet that cost about the same (allowing for inflation). WOW this printer is 1000 times betterand easier to use. Setting it up to my wireless network was a dream. AND it has separate inkjet cartridges for each color. I will never go back to Canon.
I discovered that you have to use the ink they give you for the initial setup. It wouldn’t allow me to use the ink I bought. You can buy inks that last longer.
If you have Photoshop. File/Import/WIA Support/Check mark all Options/Start Select Printer(scaner)/ OK/ Scan. Works for any scanner including the one that built in the printer.
Thanks...I am wondering how to load 4x6 photo paper. I loaded it at the top feeder but it didn't take it! Instead printer used the 8x11 paper tray...???
These are cool until you have to replace the ink. I have tried all brother original cartridges and printer still cannot detect the cartridges. It’s a nightmare.
How the scan quality? I want the integrated printer just to scan photos with it. Because to buy a scanner alone, their prices are quite expensive. Thanks ;)
Don't! Any scanner will blow up image flat, unless its some expensive scanner. I know it's primitive but I take a picture of photo print with my DSLR in RAW file then edit with Photoshop. Beats any my scanned with scanner photo scans.
I think It should require landline from your service provider with RJ-11 telephone Jack not RJ-45 which is bigger and works with computer Ethernet card. If you will be able to connect this printer to wall RJ-11 outlet, it should work as same as regular Fax. Just switch to Fax on front panel of that printer.
I can't get my prints to print like your picture. There's a white border around the print when I print out my resume and other pics come out like it to. Can you help me please?
4:05 saw your review on Amazon. I thought: maybe Amazon just have a low res. to see all quality you were talking about. Nope! The same flat image here on UA-cam. What pores were you talking about? There is not even shadows on this image to distinguish chick bones from chin. And your face on video looks just fine. I just bought this printer anyway in hope that this image of yours was that bad due to not photo paper printing. Or maybe this printer requires to reduce brightness in settings. Anyway, highlights, whites are blown along with shadows on that image. I just trashed my HP D7260 due to Ink System failure Error after 15 years of it's casual printing. which I could fix by re-setting printer but then it started to print images like zebra stripes, missing colors and This Ink System failure error came back again. I picked that Brother for RJ-45 jack (wired connection). Will see.
They are ALL pieces of crap. Bought an expensive Brother printer. After 3 months of very little use. Ink cartridges NEVER worked properly. Bought the large new packages of ink 3 separate times. All 3 never worked correctly. Tried every suggestion under the sun, from online & the company website to fix the issues. Still none of the cartridges work. (brother ink cartridges, NOT knock offs). Gave up on printing. Kept the printer just to do scanning & if nothing else, since I can't print anything or make copies, at least I could scan images & print them some place else. Does NOT even scan images correctly. Images come out like the old massive office copy printers. Tried every hack, fix & suggestion to fix it. NOTHING!!!! SPENT UPWARDS OF $500 on this poor excuse of a company. Now, I won't have the money for a loooong time to spend again on another printer. The word "anger" falls completely short of how utterly enraged I feel for being screwed out of my money & a printer. THIS COMPANY IS ONE BIG SCAM!!! It should be absolutely ILLEGAL to do this to anyone, because it is nothing short of CRIMINAL!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy anything but Brother. I am now printerless for a long foreseeable future because of these S.O.B.s And I REALLY REALLY REEEEEALLY NEEDED A PRINTER!!!! Don't let them do it to you too.
Lol, if you think that is bad. I had a Canon with a broken print head. The startup routine states "replace print head" and then the software would be stuck there and nothing would work. Even scanning. I'm sure there's nothing physically wrong with scanning but it's just scambag Canon engineer that "forgot" to let the user bypass the error on printhead message and allow scanning.

Very happy with mine so far. Beats the hell out of the HP I had for only 4 months....lost commands, printed when it wanted to, lost docs...etc
I was happy to toss the HP into the garbage
will NEVER buy anything else with HP on it. !!
Just dumped my hp too. Holding customers hostage with their ink was the last straw. Never buy hp again.

Where is the valve that's needed to be pressed on the LC401 ink cartridges if anyone could tell me or point me to a resource. Thanks
nice

Thank you for posting this. Made me confident I purchased the right printer 👌
Hey, any problems with it so far?
Just changed over from a canon inkjet that cost about the same (allowing for inflation). WOW this printer is 1000 times betterand easier to use. Setting it up to my wireless network was a dream. AND it has separate inkjet cartridges for each color. I will never go back to Canon.
Aye thanks for the review my man 🙏🏿Much appreciated.

do you have any names or links for the bigger ink cartridges?

The LC431 only does 200 pages the XL does 500 pages
@@bethbarclay855 oh ok, thanks.
I didn't find cartridge chip resetter for Brother mfc-j1010dw and I think you will need to use new cartridges
Thank you for this video. How do I set the default folder for scans?
Can you scan directly to your computer? Also, does it have a usb port that you can stick a flash drive into? Also, is the auto scanning duplex?
If you have Photoshop. File/Import/WIA Support/Check mark all Options/Start Select Printer(scaner)/ OK/ Scan. Works for any scanner including the one that built in the printer.
Great video keep up on next video
What are the steps to change print quality from best to normal?
what is the mobile application for the printer where it is downloaded from
Thank you for the video, you edited pretty well the video. ^_^
Thanks...I am wondering how to load 4x6 photo paper. I loaded it at the top feeder but it didn't take it! Instead printer used the 8x11 paper tray...???
Thank you so much baby. Very good explanation.
Thanks for the great review. 👍
These are cool until you have to replace the ink. I have tried all brother original cartridges and printer still cannot detect the cartridges. It’s a nightmare.
What app are you using?
Can you use cardstock on this printer? I wanna know if its save to print my business cards on it
Curious, does this printer allow you to continue to print in black and white when the color cartridges are depleted?
I wish he would answer the questions !! Why do a video and not respond 🤷🏼♀️
No😂
No😂
@@user-cx3mm2iu9n This is a commercial. This is why.
It will print in colors which you will have left. Switch Image to B&W or picture will going to look really not good.
Great Demo!! Thanks
Do we have resetter for this printer? Or we need to order new original cartridge only?
Yaaay thanks for this ❤ I’m gonna purchase this printer❤
You’re welcome 😊
What do I do when it wants a yellow cartridge to print? I have been clicking the black only and it is not working.
How the scan quality?
I want the integrated printer just to scan photos with it.

Nicw review! Thank you!
Is it possible to make business cards if so I’d like to see on how
Can it print business card? That think paper?
How about 4x6 labels? Had a Canon Pixma that would not feed the extra thicker paper through.
It has a feeder on back. I tried with normal labels and no issue. However for labels, usually better to use a laser
going to get one of these...
is the cartridge ink liquid or dust
This is InkJet printer. All cartridges are Ink, not toner (dust).
Hi, I have this machine but i do not know how to get fax message. Can you explain?

@3:54 How long did that picture take to print?
Where can I buy it?
I can't get my prints to print like your picture. There's a white border around the print when I print out my resume and other pics come out like it to. Can you help me please?
It should be in your settings to remove the borders.
@@TheFrenchGlow - Looked in "settings" didn't see that option.
ty
Can you do AirPrint with this product?
You can’t you have to use the app
runs on macOS?
tells me nothing about loading 4x6 photo paper... found no way that works. apparently it only works on 8.5x11
You ain't show how to load the papers in
How do you print 2 sided
On the PC, you click the option when you have the print window open. Click on double sided, it does it automatically

Why would you spend over $500 on printers and accessories if you are broke? Doesn't make any sense.
