Thank you for this review , I ordered this after reading to replace an inkjet where the nozzles kept getting clogged (sometimes not used for weeks) and for a reasonable 215 € it will fulfill the tasks for the family.
I've had this printer for less than a week, and I still can't get it to print text darker. I turned off "toner save" which helps a little, but not enough. There's a print density adjustment if you use Windows, but not on the Mac. Everything else is fine, but the faint text may lead to my returning it.
You clarified that you can scan to email, the other options on my Brother MCS 490-CW are scan to file, scan to image, and scan to OCR--Optical Character Recognition, the process that converts an image of text into a machine-readable text format, which is only important when you realize your printer doesn't contain this software. The 490-CW had it, then with the Window 11 upgrade, it dropped that software from the updated software package. So does this machine have it? What IS the software package that comes with the machine? Also, can you save as PDF with it?
I have used this printer for about 8 months. The printer and software are pretty easy to set up and use. The printing and scanning quality are pretty good. But there are a few things I don't like about. The toner doesn't fuse well to envelopes fed through the manual print feed. The scanner crops off 0.12 inch from each side of the scanned image, and I have not found any way to override this.
can it also scan duplex pages? for example I have 3 sheets and every sheet has a picture on each side which makes 6 pages to scan. or do I have to switch the page manual?
To convert 16 inches to cm multiply the length in inches by 2.54. The 16 in in cm formula is [cm] = 16 * 2.54. Thus, for 16 inches in centimeter we get 40.64 cm. 12 inches equals 30.48cm,
Thank you very much for your very clear and user oriented review. Any problem with MAC OS? I have os 12.4 on my mini and my old HP m1212nf MFP can't scan anymore for a lack of a driver for Mac os12.4 so I wonder if Brothers has the same issue, hope it does not.
Hello, a question. Does this printer allow connection to Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox applications, to scan directly to the cloud? Thank you, greetings
I am one of the 3-5 people on earth that still uses a traditional fax machine, so this is the printer for me! Question about the scanning feature…can I scan to email from this machine or does the scan image go into a cloud or something?
Thank you review of this printer. I have only one question about it. Is this a 'stand-alone' / onboard setup machine or do I have to download an app? I don't have a smartphone. Thanx for your or anyone else's answer. Pat
Hi Pat. Please check out my set up video where I walk you through the process of setting it up without a smartphone: ua-cam.com/video/Gc9JI5HqRWQ/v-deo.htmlsi=lmWNQaNbXUkaRoGZ

Yes Hi we're having some issues with Our Printer 🖨 it is making some noise and it is snagging on and pulling the paper 📃 when trying to make a copy. Can you help?
You just gave me more information in five minutes than two Best Buy store associates did in 20.
I purchased one in 2013 from Best Buy. It’s still working perfectly in 2024 and I use it regularly.
thanks for this comment, this is the type of comment I was looking for :) do you print with 3rd party inks too?

That’s true
