Outstanding Function, Very Low Cost per Page

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

.
Loved my MFC-7820N. This is even better.

PROs:

* Cost per page is very low (see Note 1)
* Printer cost is very low at times (see Pricing below)
* Duplex and Booklet functions save paper
* Browser interface - tons of settings, options, & reports
* Reliability is good
* Energy efficient when not in use (see Note 2)

OKs:

- Ease of use is pretty good. Print, Copy, Scan, Fax functions all work well.
- Toner-low shut-down hassle of previous models is now solved with a menu setting
- Warranty: 1 year

CONs:

- Noise: Fan noise for several minutes; chunk-a-clunk noise while printing. I've learned to ignore it.
- Does not support AirPrint (Apple's protocol for printing from iPhone, iPad)

- - - Alternatives - - -

- Wireless networking version ( MFC-7860DW ) if you're not hard wired. (average $20 more)

- Non-duplex version ( MFC-7360N ) (low tide around $100)

- - - Pricing - - -

Price is very bouncy. Low tide is around $138. Amazing deal. There's an "Online Price Alert" that will email you whenever this or any amazon product dips below your target price. Google it. It's nicely done. Or try camelcamelcamel.

- - - Tips - - -

- Toner refill powder such as TN-450 Toner Refill with Reset Flag Gear & Lever by AAAtoner or Laser Tek Toner Refill Kit 4 Pack for Brother TN-450 reduces cost even further.

- - - Notes - - -

Note 1: Cost per page (Toner + Drum) can be...

- 2.3 cents -- Brother toner and drum replacements at average amazon price
- 1.9 cents -- Brother toner and drum replacements at lowest price and extended usage; (3,000 copies per cartridge, 15,000 per drum -- reduced quality at tail end)
- 0.8 cents -- Use toner refill powder at lowest price and extended usage.

Brother Toner TN-450 is $42.50-47.00, 2600 pages. Brother DR-420 drum is $ 69-74, 12,000 pages. When replacing the gougy-priced drum, it's sometimes cheaper to buy an entire HL-2230 or HL-2240 printer on sale for $70 or less (includes DR-420 drum and a 700 page starter cartridge).

Toner refill powder: $8-12 (assume 3000 copies -- average 0.30 cents per copy). Starter cartridge requires Flag Gear Kit, about $3-6 (one time).

Printer comes with drum and 700 page starter toner. Subtracting the value of these, the hardware itself costs about $57 ($138-69-12)

Save more ink (and paper) by shrink-printing (2 to1) when appropriate.
.

Note 2: Standby energy: My old Brother MFC-7820N pulled 7.3 watts on standby. That's $35 to $105 over 5-years (24x365x5 @ 11 to 33 cents per kilowatt hour). This MFC-7460DN draws 1.2 watts on standby ($6 to $18 over 5 years). This printer also has a hard-off switch, which some other printers don't have.

Great printer

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have owned this printer for two years now. It has been reliable with no faults. The print quality with both OEM and aftermarket toner cartridges has been very good. When printing, it is not unreasonably loud and the internal fan shuts off after a few minutes of inactivity when the printer goes to sleep. Holds an adequate amount of paper, although I wish there was a second tray for both legal and letter sizes. Only one paper jam during two years of medium printing. Button layout is fairly self-explanatory.

EDIT: Six year follow up! This printer is still working wonderfully. The scanner has not developed any deal pixels, I haven't had any issues with paper jams, and the printing is just as good as the day I purchased it, even when using refilled toner cartridges. The drivers for Windows 10 were there when I upgraded and they haven't trimmed any functionality as the product has aged. I have the same great printer preferences and the scanning suite works just the same. I recommended this printer to a number of family and friends and they all have had positive experiences with them.
The printer works with Windows XP x86/x64 and Windows 7 x86/x64. No issues setting up network printing. Scanner is quick and software allows saving to PDF and multi-page TIFF in addition to the usual image formats.

Very good printer for the money – except for the fumes

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent multi-function device, with amazing features for the money. My only complaint is the heavy fumes (technically ultra-fine particles) that are emitted every time I print more than a few pages. I have this printer in my bedroom and open the window whenever I print more than a few pages because of this problem. I have had several laser printers before, and have never encountered fumes to this extent. If I breathe them in they cause me to cough. An Internet search suggests there is no clear proof yet that these emissions cause health issues, but it has not been ruled out either. Laser printers are also said to vary a great deal in terms of how much of these are emitted. They do disperse fairly quickly, but I would not buy this printer again because of this problem.

I bought this installed it into my Windows 7 - worked great!!! Ijust got a computer with Windows 8. Went to their support site to download the drivers - yes, they had them!! Everything worked fine until it was time to hook the USB cord - it read USB composite device. That meant the computer didn't recognize the Brother printer and wouldn't finish updating the device driver. I contacted Brother support via "online chat" (they answered once) and they told me to download and run a program to fix the problem. Did it and still didn't solve the problem. Tried to get back online support 15 times and no one connected to chat. I tried to call them. NO answer. I emailed them and got a "form response" with no follow-up. THEY ARE TOTALLY WORTHLESS WITH THEIR SUPPORT. What good is a printer if you can't get the device drivers downloaded that are sitting right there on their website. What good are they if they can't even provide customer support.

I just went out and bought a Canon Imageclass D560/530. The drivers say they are for Windows XP and 7. I had absolutely NO problems and it runs beautifully on Windows 8.

The upshot? I will NEVER buy another Brother. They are relatively inexpensive but that's because they don't have any support people to pay for.

Excellent value

Reviewed in Canada on June 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

I chose this to provide a compact print/scan capability for everyday use at home, with thought of occasionally using the FAX. I particularly wanted a duplexer for double sided printing. Been using this for 8 months and it is performing well. I have it connected via cable to my wifi router with an ethernet cable so that it is wifi accessible to anything on my network. Because I have cables from my previous printers and computers, I didn't mind that the printer did not come with a cable. It can connect via USB to a computer or some routers, or via ethernet to a router as I have done.

The printer is fast enough for home use, does double-sided printing well. Print is clear and crisp. No paper jams. The scanner is good for everyday work. The MFC is shared by two desktop and up to 4 laptops at a time, and I can print from and scan to any of them. Because the printer is a device on the network, queuing multiple printouts from multiple computers is handled by the printer and the driver on the computers. I don't do enough simultaneous printing from different computers to really know that this works well, but I have not had any issues like two printouts becoming interleaved.

As with virtually all printers sold today, this printer comes with a "starter" toner cartridge that does not print as many pages as a full one, but it lasted quite a while. My experience was that the low toner warning came on early, but no earlier than any of the other 4 laser printers that I have had. I could print about 100+ more pages before the cartridge was really empty. Printed pages are deposited on the top of the gray section in the middle, and it can't hold a lot of output so when printing a long document you have to remove the printed pages every 50 or so.

I recommend this as good value for home use. The real value will depend on how long it lasts, but so far there is no reason to think it won't provide years of service.

The unit needed a new drum which was twice as expensive as the unit itself and was not disclosed. It scan one page at the time and the wifi didn't work. So NOTHING was right about this unit. Then I bought a Canon half price and it does all of the above. So go figure.

Great Device

Reliable, easy to use, and works well. What is not to like. It does double sided printing. It prints 29 pages a minute. It is small and quiet. The output looks crisp and professional.

Gripe ... I wish Brother would stop setting on the toner low message so early. Every time I see the toner low message I know to ignore it as there is plenty of toner left in the cartridge. Come on guys ... don't do this.

I would expect them to supply the cable!

Reviewed in Canada on September 8, 2013

The printer works just fine,does what it should do no more no less and it seem to be reliable.
What i couldn't believe was the fact that the manufacturer doesn't supply the data cable(the one bet the comp and the printer)with it.
After i paid 20$ for it at a store I realized that this is prob the one of the reasons for the printer to be as cheap...

This printer is fast & reliable. It would be more interesting item if it has integrated wifi. I had to interface it with an external wireless device (Linksys).
