Tiresome but simply best in Printer

The printer arrived at my place today. It was easy to set up but tedious as I had to switch from computer to printer and back multiple times. It plugged in and worked great with no wires required. The instructions were clear and simple except for finding the serial number to register the car. Had to search the internet to figure out where to look for it and found that the number on the device screen can be called so no gymnastics needed to find it. It would be nice to have this information in…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Obsolete Model

Problems persist

Bought printer for personal use. The attitude was fine. However, since then I have had various problems. At first I had problems with the message that I was offline. After about 1 1/2-2 hours on the phone from the hotline, this problem seems to have been resolved. Then I got error messages saying I'm using the wrong paper size and I'm out of paper, which wasn't true. I couldn't solve them even after numerous computer and printer restarts and uninstalls and reinstalls. I am completely frustrated

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Just a bad experience

I knew installing it would be a daunting task, but mostly you wait for updates. The printer worked as a wireless printer on my phone, laptop and iPad. Just not for very long. The paper is jammed on the fourth printout. I unblocked it. The printer showed an error code. I kept trying to find the jammed paper, but the printer barely worked. Some online help says that error 48 is due to a bad circuit board or printhead. The troubleshooting guides you through the places where the printer can jam and

Difficult setup in Office Electronics

I spent over 3 hours on my phone with Brother or Revain trying to connect to my computer. The simple setup guide that came with the machine was cumbersome and didn't work. I have a Mac desktop operating system 10.13. The customer service reps were knowledgeable and helpful, but some settings eluded them. Someone accidentally mentioned that this is a 'new' printer model. So you can wait until the car is "new" before buying and the setup will be easier. After the phone coped with starting…

  • There are cons

Can arbitrarily omit text from your document. Not good.

This printer has garbled text. I received an email with directions that were detailed and accurate until I printed them out on my new printer. In the printed manual, a critical part of the text was simply left out. I'm so angry that I can't return this piece of junk. Very angry and disappointed. I thought Brother should be one of the best. NO!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

What a terrible purchase

It was very difficult to set up. I spent 3 hours with support to set it up. The ink is very expensive. A set of 4 costs $90 plus. Very slow color printing. I should have researched more. I was in a hurry, I won't make that mistake again.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Little things

So disappointed. Cheap junk.

I couldn't be more disappointed with this purchase. If this review can help someone reconsider their purchase, then it's worth it. 1. The quality is as cheap as possible. I'm concerned about moving one of those sliding tabs as the plastic is very thin and poor quality. 2. The system becomes very cluttered and difficult to manage when you are offline! I know there must be workarounds, but if you just want to plug and print, you're in trouble. Maybe if I give up and buy a cable that connects it…

Pros
  • It's
Cons
  • stupidly done

Nice upgrade in usability and ease of use

It's been a few years since my last color inkjet all-in-one and I'm delighted with the improved features I've found in this Brother MFCJ805DW. From the first steps I noticed improvements that increase comfort. The entire LCD panel can be tilted up for optimal visibility. I love the fact that I don't have to bend down and try to read every step from an awkward angle. The LCD screen not only guides the user through the initial setup but also through various functions. The ink tanks are located at

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • There are flaws

finished part of the installation in an hour. Then it took me almost half an hour to register the printer. I keep getting messages that my password doesn't match. and then I had to go back and reset the password. then I had to go back a third time to reset my password and, wow, they let me continue. I didn't have too much trouble finding the serial number, and luckily I had a small flashlight, paper, and a pen. Letters and numbers are too small brother if you read this. my eyesight is fine (I…

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • sad packaging
