I owned and used an earlier model of this printer and it was very good and highly reliable. Based on this use I decided to upgrade to the Brother MFC-5860 Photo Inkjet machine. It is very good and I am glad I selected this item.
The printer works great. However, I wanted a legal size flat screen. The descriptions on the printers will tell you what size documents they will print but I could not find anything that told me the size of the flat screen. The printer will copy and print legal documents by using the feeder. The worse thing there is nothing to catch legal size paper and so it just falls on the floor and if on a desk the papers end up in random order.
Letter size documents and labels work great. There is a catch for them so documents do not fall on the floor.
I also like the ink cartridges that come with this printer verses the cartridges on my earlier printers.
Conclusion: If you deal in letter size documents or smaller this is a great printer. If you need legal size find another
I am very disapointed with this printer. I bought it for the sole use of prining 80 copies of a bulletin I prepare each week. It jams after 5-10 copies every single time. It takes me hours to print my 80 sheets because I am constantly fixing the paper jams (the printer is slow too). I have lost reams of paper due to this fault alone. It also seems to use a lot of ink- I have to refill my black ink after 3 rounds of my bulletins.
The blue nozzle is clogged and the built in nozzle cleaner cannot fix it. This kind of printer’s nozzle is not easily fixable either.
Like many of the other reviewers, I was lured in by this multi-function machine’s impressive specs. However, after owning the printer for 6 months, I am disappointed with its performance.
My family purchased this machine for the fax function it offers in addition to print/copy/scan, as well as its wireless capabilities. While the printer connects wirelessly to our desktop and to my laptop, it does not connect to my father’s work laptop because he has to sign on to a proxy network. Since his ability to print wirelessly was one of the main two reasons we bought the machine, discovering that it did not cooperate with his computer was a major disappointment.
The machine goes through ink quickly, even with four separate cartridges and only light print and copy duty (my father uses a simpler printer connected directly to his laptop now).
Setting up the fax machine to screen incoming calls and ignore those that are not faxes meant that it interfered with our answering machine and we were unable to understand the messages left for us. We changed the fax setting to work only when specifically turned on, but again this defeated the purpose of having an accessible fax machine.
My biggest complaint with the machine is that paper jams easily. The top tray is often difficult to remove to insert paper, and the machine will pull a sheet partly through and then insist that there is no paper in the tray. When it does work, it frequently pulls two or three sheets through at a time. When the machine declares that there is no paper, you cannot cancel the print or turn the machine off without unplugging it! The only way to ‘fix’ it is to insert more paper, which it then misfeeds!
If I had know about these difficulties before I purchased the printer, I would have chosen another machine. Since this is my first experience with a Brother printer, I’ll be switching back to HP or Canon.
