- Good points:
- small ish printer for a laser and very easy to use. I had no problem intalling in onto my home network and printing via my pc and also wireless on laptops. Duplex is good too
- Bad points:
-
Having had a Dell 5100cn I found only two probles
1. when the printer is hot at around 40 prints duplex it really slows down copaired with the Dell, so this has to be taken into account when looking for a fast large number of prints.
2. The paper try could have been bigger to take a ream of paper
Appart from that the printer is a good little worker.

- Good points:
- ability to use only black toner as needed. excellent quality of the highest settings. works on a Mac without issues.
- Bad points:
-
I bought the larger paper tray which fits underneath but the printer will not collect paper from it.
Complexity of keeping track of toner and incorrect error messages. Disparity of cost between 'official' Bro-ther toner carts and remanufactured ones, why does not Bro-ther make their own!
