I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I bought this printer for my home and I'm very happy with it. The presence of wi-fi allows you to install the printer anywhere. I saw reviews about problems with connecting to wi-fi, I didn’t notice anything like that (d-link dir-300 router). The printer is always on (in standby mode) and prints from any device without problems. The setup is also very simple: I launched it from the disk, a few steps and you're done, you don't even need a usb wire for your computer. There will be no problems…

Pros
  • - Fast printing - Availability of duplex printing - WiFi - Large paper tray - Price

Bought to replace old samsung and hp printers. An important condition was the operation of the printer via Wi-Fi. After reading reviews and reviews about different printers, the choice fell on this one (although I had never heard of such a company before). Everywhere they wrote that the printer is super in everything, but it has only one drawback - you need to manually wake it up when printing via Wi-Fi. However, it was a pleasant surprise for me that there was no such drawback in the…

Pros
  • Beautiful, prints quickly, double-sided printing, quality materials, loading paper into the printer as much as half a pack.
Cons
  • Missing

A good product, more pros than cons.

for the money that was bought (4.4K) brings only joy and pleasure. He saves on paper, but bends over the toner - philosophically: somewhere he lost, somewhere he arrived. Got pros: Compact, affordable and stylish printer. Works in an office with an average load (100-150 pages per week), prints perfectly on both sides in automatic mode. Without dancing with tambourines, he registered on the network, and now he prints from a smartphone and laptop without wires - well, not smart? With its cons…

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

In the reviews before buying, I read about problems with Wi-Fi. I don't have them at all. Maybe not yet?). I connected without problems to a mobile router, which we turn off for the night to save the battery. The connection is not reset either when the router is turned off, or when the printer is disconnected from the network (they moved it several times from place to place until they found a permanent one). Comes out of deep sleep on its own. A laptop on win10 and two smart phones on android…

Pros
  • Low noise, quite smart, connects several devices without wires at once
Cons
  • Have not found

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

It is not black, it was a surprise and a huge plus, because it does not look the best in the photo, it looks great live. The body itself is a very dark grey. The only black cover is the one on top. For a very long time I chose between the two models, oddly enough, his appearance didn’t suit him, like a cheap Chinese balalaika in the manufacturer’s photo) When I unpacked it, love at first sight immediately) I connected to an iPhone, an iPad and a laptop on Windows 10 without problems, wakes up…

Pros
  • Appearance. Live it is much more beautiful than in the photo, wireless technology.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

There was a problem with wireless printing after deep sleep (when Windows 10 automatically adds, it does not print after sleep). It is treated by adding a printer in manual mode, specifying the static ip-address of the printer (port). He also prints from the android, without doing anything he added himself. On the iPhone, it was not possible to add it, apparently the problem is in the router.

Pros
  • Print speed and quality Wireless printing The cost of the printed sheet
Cons
  • not found yet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

Some pros: Speed. My brain doesn’t have it (after the correct settings))) I print purely from a smartphone and don’t bother. Has some cons: Not silent, does not brew coffee, requires electricity, had to pay money for it, cannot print without paper.

twice in 4 months turned out to be unavailable in win8.1. I suspect that the problem is not in the printer, but in the operating system. bought for the office, used constantly, they replaced the old laser color hp, which was constantly stupid. We think that we need to put another one of the same. Its pros: fast printing, easy setup, relatively inexpensive consumables, two-sided printing, closed paper tray, stylish appearance With its cons: I didn’t find it, except perhaps the small capacity of

The product is really good, Im glad I bought it.

Pros below: Beautiful. Two-side print. Prints from any device, even a phone. Relatively easy setup No need to turn off You can install a non-original cartridge cost from 520. Cons below: Prints very slowly, not only the first sheet. but also subsequent ones. The first cartridge was enough for 1 pack of paper.

A good balance of price/quality, recommend it.

I will not draw conclusions about the advisability of the acquisition. Everyone decides for himself. If you need wireless printing, then it's easier to purchase a Deshman router with wi-fi and connect the printer to it via USB. Overpaying for a wireless connection in the printer itself by almost 2 thousand is not worth it. Doubtful "savings" when purchasing fresh models of Brothers due to the high cost of cartridges and a separate photoconductor unit. Although not chipped and self-refueling is…

Pros
  • Excellent speed and print quality. Turns on quickly. 32 mega RAM contribute to this. Double-sided printing allows you to save paper and not suffer from shifting the leaves (and guess which side and orientation you put). A huge plus is the closed paper tray. Put a couple of hundred sheets and forgot. Dust will not get inside. This is especially true for those who type infrequently. And in general it is more convenient and more aesthetically pleasing than when "everything is out." The printer is not noisy! There is also a low noise mode, but I have not tried it yet.
Cons
  • Firstly, I was unpleasantly surprised by the high cost of cartridges. The cheapest standard capacity costs 2200. For a double-sided i-sensys installed at work, a cartridge (new) costs 1250. Those. the price difference is more than 2 times! Even a non-original cartridge for Brother is more expensive. At the same time, the photodrum in the Brother is installed as a separate unit. Its declared resource is 12 thousand copies, which is doubtful. If we take into account 10 years of experience in refilling cartridges, we can say that 5-6 refills (maximum 7-8), and then the photoconductor in the cartridge needs to be changed, because. streaks in printing are unavoidable. And this is where imaginary savings come up. If Canon and others have a photoconductor in a cartridge (when buying a cartridge, we get a new photoconductor), then you will have to buy it separately from Brother. And it costs 3 pieces. Question - how often do you have to buy a photoconductor for a brother? 6-7 refills of a high-capacity cartridge and you need to buy a new photoconductor. That. a separate version of the photoconductor and the expensive toner cartridges for the new Brazer models make the purchase not optimal. Unfortunately, I did not see that the cost of new cartridges would be higher than the cost of previous models. The ability to self-refuel and the lack of chips eclipsed the rest of the criteria . Consider this. Secondly, I could not connect the Brother via Wi-Fi. The unintelligible instructions that came with the printer did not say anything at all. The supplied CD is unreadable at all (tested on 4 computers). I had to download everything from the site. The interactive instructions on the manufacturer's website did not help either. The printer was either connected or not. At the same time, the printer automatically printed a sheet or several sheets of reports each time. Used about 30 sheets of paper. Once I still printed it through a wafer, but the next day the tasks sent to print remained hanging and were not printed. I had to buy a cable (which is not included) and print via USB.

I bought it because of the presence of WiFi, and it seems that the consumables are not very expensive and it is possible to refill the cartridge, including yourself. I couldn’t connect to my home WiFi without a cable, I saved the cable from the old printer with it and the supplied CD set up a WiFi connection. After the printer was connected to the local network, setting up the printer on all devices was no problem. The computer and laptop picked up drivers from the network themselves, the phone

Pros
  • Network connection via WiFi; Two-side print; Ease of use.
Cons
  • A bit large in size; Attention: there is no cable for connecting to a computer.

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

above it is indicated that there is a problem with Wi-Fi, but you can set the standby mode for a very long time from a poppy it works without problems both from a phone and from different computers, but from a phone, for example, from a safari it translates text as if it were a raster and the text is not very clear and so it’s a nice device, I chose for a long time and, as a result, I’m quite satisfied, I print extremely rarely, but sometimes something is needed and urgently and copy centers…

Pros
  • size, appearance, price, more Wi-Fi and the ability to configure without a usb cable, prints without problems
Cons
  • wifi disconnects and won't reconnect when printer goes into deep sleep

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

The printer connected to the Wi-Fi network without problems using WPS, a quick installation guide is attached (point 5C). Even before turning on the printer on the router, he assigned a fixed IP address to it (it prints its own MAC address and other network parameters). All the problems with the need to reconnect to a Wi-Fi network, which are written in the reviews, are supposedly related to the fact that routers can give out different dynamic IP addresses from time to time and all you need to…

Pros
  • Wi-Fi, closed tray, two-sided printing, black and gray.
Cons
  • No wired LAN interface, no web user interface, awkward one-line display.

The purchase is a failure, very unhappy.

After connecting to Wi-Fi, the laptop sees the printer, but the printer itself does not print, the print queue hangs endlessly, and the printer is in deep sleep (below is a screenshot). The nettool_1223 utility re-establishes communication with the printer, prints a test page, and the printer goes back to deep sleep. The printer was bought as a replacement, for printing via WiFi, but can only print via USB. Without WiFi printers are cheaper. This printer works great via USB. I do not recommend!

Pros
  • Prints fine, fast, built-in paper tray
Cons
  • The connection is not for the faint of heart, I could not connect to WiFi without a USB cable, they don’t give a wire with a printer. Prints only on a wire.

Bought a few weeks ago. While the printer only pleases. I can’t say yet about the complexity of setting up wi-fi, my sister set it up. I haven't tried printing from many devices either. Printing via USB is quick to set up. The instructions say that sometimes you can press a button on the printer and on the router, and printing via wi-fi will set itself up, but something didn’t work out for me. OK. I have another printer (HP Laser Jet) with one-sided printing and no wi-fi. It's cheaper, of…

Pros
  • As already written - WiFi - Automatic two-sided printing - Relatively fast printing speed
Cons
  • There is an odor if many pages are printed.

Bought for occasional home use. Less than 300 sheets printed in 3 years after purchase. Everything worked perfectly, there was not a single failure or even a paper jam. Immediately after the end of the guarantee, I began to print virtually - the inscription "printing in progress" is displayed on the indicator and silence - no mechanisms inside even try to work, but no errors are given. But during self-diagnosis after turning on, everything is fine - it turns the drum, buzzes and clicks, after…

Pros
  • Double-sided printing, works stably via Wi-Fi, consumables are not chipped.
Cons
  • Stopped printing right after the end of the warranty period.

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

Good inexpensive printer with good software. If you need a scanner as well, look for similar models that already include a scanner. The scanner will cost more. Some pros: Ability to print from any device connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the printer (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android). Relatively inexpensive for such functionality. Has cons: The cartridge in a set is calculated on 1200 pages. 60% consumption per month. Who is typing here? Original cartridges are not cheap. The most normal…

Good value for money, I recommend it.

I would like to stay on Wai Fai, because. it was on him that I killed 2 hours of time (no printer took so much time, honestly). Firstly, it was not clear how to start the Wi-Fi setup through the setup utility from a PC, it turns out that I had to contrive to get this setup to start there, I had to select the item "Yes, I have a USB cable". Until I got to this point, I tried all the others, it seemed like it was logically possible to guess, but it was possible to somehow make the Wi-Fi…

Pros
  • Have a web server Wi-Fi and network setup utility Printer and Cartridge Control Utility Small dimensions and weight
Cons
  • Drivers do not open on the official page, you need to look for a link to the software separately (it took extra time) However, when I tried to open the instruction on the page, it was also not found. A non-working instruction from the disk - a blank page just opens, like you need to allow the use of Java and so on - some kind of nonsense, I didn’t do this and waste my time. Why it was impossible to make one in PDF only God knows. Not an "omnivorous" wi-fi, it took an hour and a half or two to figure it out. Cut off Wi-Fi. Something creaks when printing, as if the cartridge is already old and refilled a couple of times (usually these produce similar sounds) It buzzes at rest and waiting, I don’t know what exactly the hum depends on, but after a while it stops, I think it’s when it goes into a “deep sleep” - I had to set it in the settings for 1 minute so that it doesn’t make noise (sitting next to such noise impossible, I haven’t seen this from other printers), he kind of heats up his oven to be ready for the next print (which, as it were, may not be, the strange logic of the control program)

It is convenient that you can send for printing from any device, whether it is a PC, laptop, mobile phone or tablet. But not everything is so good. Before the printer appears in the list of available devices, you need to wait until it wakes up (in time, this can take up to 5 (!) Minutes, and it’s not a fact that it will appear on the network .), it’s easier to turn it off and on, it’s faster. In this connection, there is no point in keeping it on, which is not at all convenient. It turns out…

Pros
  • Price. WiFi. Laser printer
Cons
  • He goes into a "deep sleep", after which he wakes up for a long time. It's easier to turn it off / on than to wait until it wakes up and finally appears on the network .

— I use a printer running OS 10.9 Mavericks and I print from an iPad (iOS 8.3). The router is an inexpensive TP-Link (WR841N). There are no problems, nothing falls off. The printer goes into deep sleep after half a minute and CAM wakes up at any time when I send a document to print from a computer or iPad, AirPrint works without problems (I don’t go anywhere and don’t restart anything). Whoever has the printer falls off and is not configured via Wi-Fi - this is your problem in the operating…

Pros
  • Dimensions and weight (~7.5 kg). It is critical for me, I put it high on the shelf, put 300-400 sheets in a closed tray and print via Wi-Fi - no extra wires, except for power. Double-sided printing - then just pick up documents and no unnecessary gestures. Low cost of 1 print when compared with analogues and even cheaper printers with wi-fi (I chose among them based on reviews). Consumption in deep sleep (deep sleep) is only 0.5 watts. Plug it in and you don't have to turn anything on and off. Quiet and fast, there is an even quieter mode (did not turn it on, because, in my opinion, it will do). Easily and quickly customizable wi-fi, no dancing with a tambourine. AirPrint works without glitches. I just downloaded the software from the site (for a Mac, they immediately send it to the site), launched it, three minutes and you're done. You don’t even need to use any web interfaces - the printer already has three and a half basic settings, they can be adjusted from the menu (toner saving, resolution, density). Although, the web interface is really simple and informative (go from the browser by entering the address of the printer on the network, for example, I registered at 1922022820220221. You can make a bookmark in the browser). Through the web interface, the printer firmware is ated at the touch of a button (he finds it on the network, downloads it himself, installs it himself). In general, the printer from the series set and forgot! In terms of printing, ergonomics and the printing device (printer operation), I am satisfied with everything. I use for a small (home) office, the load is above average - documents, materials, etc. high degree of occupancy. To be honest, I was not going to write a review, as everything was completely fine, but after seeing the previous, largely ridiculous comments, I decided to add my experience, which someone might find useful. It feels like earlier reviews were written by people who didn’t even really bother to figure out what they bought and read the instructions .
Cons
  • Purchased consciously after reading reviews online and weighing different options, so there is nothing that doesn't meet my expectations. I don’t see any fundamental shortcomings in this model compared to analogues (at least for a few weeks of operation - then, perhaps, I will clarify the review). Of the little things: 1) there really is no USB cord in the kit, for someone it may not be a convenience (I already have 3-4 such cords from previous devices). This can be a serious disadvantage only if you do not have a router and you are going to print over a cord. The cable is also needed to quickly set up the printer on a wireless network (initial copying of settings), but as far as I understood from the installer, this can be done without a USB cable, it will just be a little more complicated. And so you connect the printer via cable, enter the access point and password - and voila, then everything works. 2) Starter cartridge for 700 pages - I would like a full-fledged one, of course, but, alas, this has already become part of the mandatory marketing of manufacturers. 3) The cost of the photoconductor is almost the same as the cost of the printer itself. (But it seems that the resource is 12 thousand pages + refillable cartridges without any problems: in general, it is still cheaper than many "cheaper" counterparts with chip cartridges. PS. In one of the comments there was a complaint that "the program suppresses printing without options" when the toner runs out: in fact, there you can choose whether at first a message will simply be displayed when the toner cartridge resource is approaching the end of the toner cartridge resource, or printing will be completely blocked until the cartridge is replaced ( the default is the latter, but this can be changed). So, if necessary, you can print something, pale and with stripes, but print it out, and not run to the store urgently for a new cartridge.
