Good Points

Easy to use, long life inks, quiet and fast printing


Bad Points

Scanner sheet feed only works with paper (photo's jam it) and re-connecting the printer after re-installing windows can take ages.


General Comments

It's a good, neatly packaged combination printer/scanner for wireless home networks. The only bug really is how tricky it is to re-connect the printer if you have to re-install your computer operating system (initial installation and connection is easy, but make sure you follow the manual) I've had to do this 3 times now, and each time I've had to take several attempts, and never been quite sure what I did to re-configure the PC printer settings to make it work.

    One thing worth knowing about brother printers, is the self clean cycle operates automatically and can empty the ink cartridges if you don't use the printer much but leave it turned on.

    Also when one cartridge is empty you cannot print until it has been replaced. I finally had to change the colour cartridges, first the cyan, then the printer did a clean cycle and emptied the yellow, changed that and then another clean cycle and the red ran empty.

    tbh with what I know now I wouldn't buy another one, for the light use I give it it uses too much ink on self-cleaning cycles.
