Brother MFC-8860DN Flatbed Laser All-in-One Printer with Duplex

I would love to give a review on this printer but it’s been 3 days since I placed my order and it hasn’t left their warehouse. I feel this is unacceptable for an item that’s in stock so I will never buy from Amazon again.
There are a lot of things about this multifunction machine that I like. It makes nice copies, and although the printer output is not as dark as the old HP 5MP that I was going to replace, it is acceptable.
But I am returning this machine. When making multiple copies of a page (like 9 copies) or when printing a document of about 15-20 pages, the machine makes an audible alarm noise while printing. Brother customer support says this is normal, and is due to the fuser expanding and contracting. But I am not going to accept that, since, as I said, this noise sounds like an audible alarm, not normal mechanical noise.
The scanner on this MFC is useless due to horrible UI, way too loud, and way too slow. Prepare to press buttons needlessly until you decide that scanning isn’t worth it:
To scan to file you’ll have to press a lot of buttons and wait a loooong time.
1. Put the document on ADF
2. Press scan button if it’s not already selected
3. press down button FIVE times to select scan to file
4. press OK
5. press down button to select duplex L side
6. press OK
7. press down button if necessary to select which PC (I’ve only configured one but it still wants me to confirm
8. press OK to select
9. Then it can’t find my machine on the network…I’m not going to debug this since I’m going to send it back.
Did I mention the really loud, annoying beeps for all ELEVEN button presses? All the many unnecessary scanning functions are controlled by up-down arrows and the OK button. There’s no way to assign a default to one of the many useless buttons on the nearly overwhelming front panel. The UI is really set up for faxing–lots of buttons to store address book…but who faxes any more?
Did I mention that the scanner is really slow (initiated scan from PC) since it pulls the paper through the ADF THREE times (even though there’s only two sides of the page)? 23 seconds per page on black and white 300dpi!
Did I mention that this is the loudest scanner I’ve ever heard. It’s louder than the printer and the printer’s really loud. I’m not just being sensitive here–it’s a lot louder than the Brother 1670N (also a duplex laser printer) this was supposed to replace.
I was hoping for a replacement for my fujitsu fi-4120c sheetfed duplex scanner but there’s absolutely no comparison.
I did lots of reading before I bought this printer. this is just great one.
This is my second MFC from Brother. It is faster than my last one, and prices have down too. I would definitely recommend it for home office use.
