fairly good hardware but poor software

 

(3) the bypass feeder has poor paper alignment. The printed material is in most cases seriously misaligned on the paper, making the bypass feeder basically useless for printing checks or formal documents such as letterheads. That means for that type of...

fairly good hardware but poor software

 

Given the price, the quality and performance of this multi-function printer isn't bad. Scanning speed, especially that for black-and-white document, is among the best. The automatic document feeder on the top works quite reliably, rarely jams up

Great product

 

Buy extended warranty. Currently we have 6 of this + 50 different MFC's/printer's/faxes Brother models in my work environment.

Fast printing, long live for toner, cheaper than HP, etc ; More capabilities than other brands for a lower price

none. Everything works perfect

Very good hardware but poor software

 

This review is for Brother MFC-8440 Laser Multifunction bought in 2004. I can't speak for the later models although they do look very similar except for a faster speed and more features. Given the price, the quality and performance of this ...

Fast and highly competitive price.

Poor ergonomics, software and the user interface design.

OK

 

Pros: I like the way it looks, it's so professional-looking, very fit for the office. It's user-friendly, no need to be a genius when setting it up. The buttons and the menus are very eye-friendly. Printing quality is good, even the faxing is speedy...
