This printer will break your spirit. All those guilty of its existence should be ashamed.

Nobody should buy this printer. I've never had a more frustrating technique. I'm a software developer and good at networking. And it was just impossible to keep this thing going. As other reviewers have said, Brother's efforts here are shameless. Shame on you. The user interface is beyond terrible - a one-line screen controlled by seven buttons that you have to use to navigate an exhaustingly ill-conceived menu tree. Do you want to confirm your choice? Press the button up! Or sometimes the OK button. It depends. Most of the time, the single-line screen doesn't get highlighted. The power button does nothing at all. To turn off the printer, you must unplug it. Ridiculous. What's worse - if possible - every time you need to reboot your router, you have to go through a full WiFi reconfiguration. This is not how devices on the network should behave. Other devices have managed to reconnect themselves since the 90s. The problem of deep sleep mode is extremely painful. Whenever I tried to use the printer, like others, I had to fight to wake up. After many failed attempts, I found the following solution. This behavior of the product indicates that it has not been tested by anyone. Deep sleep mode renders the printer unusable. Any use that occurs after the sleep interval expires - I had it set to 1 minute! - Requires extensive user interaction. I don't need to look for solutions to such a problem. And I definitely wouldn't need to find these solutions in a comment on the Revain page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R6R3ZFGMQUXS6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LEA5EJM#R6R3ZFGMQUXS6 Unfortunately after that the "Correction " Deep sleep problems The printer absolutely refused to reconnect to Wi-Fi. I spent three hours fighting it. Never again. I smashed it (for joy) and threw it in the trash. My wife is not happy with me. Even though the price is really low, it's still a rip off. In 1995, typing was less of a chore than it is today. Look at what people had to go through to keep this thing running. It has to give a support group. I understand that links to other negative comments may be frowned upon. But, moderator, please note that I'm trying to spare people the pain I've been through, and that's not the point of it Comment Report oak? Life is already too hard to waste time on a device like this. Below is just a short list of highlights from people suffering from this pathetic device: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RD3V9JBP60400. /ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LZS5EEIhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R24N2ZMJ547VOP/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LZS5EEIhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews /R3MQ2UYEN71RBM/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LZS5EEIhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3W0WEMQX7FJY9/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LZS5EEIhttps://www. -reviews/RFJQZUE8SH57M/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LZS5EEIhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3TNTX1QJT9JK8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LZS5EEIzon.com /ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN =B00LZS5EEIzon.com/ru. /customer-reviews/R2C5DFXRA8WO32/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00LZS5EEII bought it because some sites had the audacity to call it one of the best printers of 2018. Now I understand that it should be a paid advertisement. I can't find the link right now, but they are ashamed too. Warning against tempters.
