Review on 🖨️ Brother MFC-J6930DW: All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer with Wireless Connectivity, Duplex Printing, and Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready by Richard Cuneo

SCAN: When using the drivers and software from the supplied CD-ROM, scan sizes larger than A4 were not displayed in the PC menu. Called the hotline and didn't understand why. Higher level help sent for later call back (pending). Subsequent downloading and reinstalling the full software/driver package from the Brother website did not change the paper size menu items. Dimensions A3 / 11x17 were not shown. The Brother software has already reinstalled the latest software/driver I downloaded (and is now allowing fax drivers to be installed that I don't need and weren't originally installed). Large paper sizes are now shown in the menu below the size selector. After two days of scanning documents for several hours, the device began to emit a harsh but not loud "purr" that sounded like it was coming from plastic gears. Now on the third day of scanning, the device is very noisy, a confusing noise that sounds like an impending failure. Having scanned thousands of documents with the previous MFC-6430 with no errors, this is disappointing. The MFC-6430 was dropped due to a connected printhead (as was the subsequent Epson WF-7620), not a drive/gear failure (which I believe happens after hours of scanning). Duplex scanning made easy! A major plus that eliminates potential misfeeds that could be an issue with the above two devices when paper condition was less than ideal. The scan quality is very good. paper, from magazines, but even then it's impressive and forgivable for some misfeeds, which are probably not part of the device's design criteria). And the ADF scanning was so quiet!, . with the device, just out of the box. PRINT: Only test prints so far, but prints quickly and with good results. Louder than Epson. COST: The price is really amazing (low) for these devices (including the ones mentioned before) but as usual I will pay it with the purchase of ink. If I decide that the new hiss and noise level is "a feature" rather than an imminent ADF pick/transfer failure, I will keep the printer.
