Brother MFC-J280w

 

The MFC-J280w can print, copy, scan, and fax. It lets you fax either from your computer (PC Fax), or standalone faxing without needing a computer. However, it lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF) for unattended copying, scanning, or faxing of...

Fast at business printing. PC Fax. Computer-free faxing. Low claimed cost per page

Slightly sub-par text and photos. Lacks port for USB thumb drive as well as memory-card reader. No automatic document feeder (ADF). No auto-duplexer

The Brother MFC-J280w is fast for a budget MFP, and has a feature set geared to the home or micro office.

Great Value

 

I never had a Brother printer until 4 years ago. Since then, I have had 3. I find them very reliable and good value. I just got this one and it was easier than any to set up and I like the touch screen.

Very Nice

 

This printer is everything that you should expect from one in the this price category. It lacks some features like a document feeder and the paper tray and paper output are a little awkward, but it is by far the best printer I have used that was under...

Would like to see bigger screen on printers

 

This is just one of several Brother items that I have purchased over the years. As usual it is extremely high quality. However the screen is way too small for someone who is vision impaired or elderly. I KNOW that they can't please every aspect of...
