worst printer ever

 

even though functions are lot. but following are lot of issues: 1. never ever can print fast when you need lot to get a fast print out, it start with its own sweet time, will do its own cleaning first. 2. many times even after cleaning activity by itself doesnt print, so again manually u need to choose cleaning and testing print. wastage of lot of time and paper for this. 3.The fuse is useless and gives you trouble lot due to it blow fast if a country like Indonesia where the main power has only plug point and has no swtich. while plugging itself the fuse blows. 4. if no ink then you cannot even scan for scoftcopy, couldnt understand what is the link between scan and ink. Becuase of these very recurring issues, you will be frustrated many times very often and feel like throwing this printer. This is a sincerely feedback, plz avoid purchasing this printer. If want to purchase this printer from me I am ready to sell half the price from seller, even may be free better than If I break and throw. it is just 3 months old and max I took only 30 pages from it. Thanks Best Regards Pradeep Singha

Brother MFC-J265w

 

The Brother MFC-J265w all-in-one printer is a solid and affordable option that includes a built-in fax machine. Prints look good, even if the quality of color photos can drop off at random after a number of prints, which is actually a common problem...

This affordably priced and speedy all-in-one printer includes a fax option

The quality of color photo prints tends to randomly drop off after a number of consecutive prints

Despite some irregular color printing, the Brother MFC-J265w is a solid all-in-one printer.

Inoperable Just After Warranty Period
