A great small business copier for the price

 

This brother printer copier is a great addition to any small business. Copying and printing work great. Only complaint is no duplex copying or staple/collating, but one can't expect that at this price. A very good product.

Scanner software does not function properly

Excellent Product with Misleading Title

 

The machine is excellent, but the "All-in-One" designation by OfficeMax is very misleading. I purchased the DCP–8085DN thinking that I was getting an all-in-one machine; needless to say that I was disappointed when I learned that it does not have fax...

Easy to Use, Features, speed, high quality product
