Brother MFC-7440N AIO MFP Laser (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Unfortunately, I have to separate myself from this unit again, after quite a short time.

The reason: the heating of the printing unit accompanied by a 7-second mark penetrating Alarmpiepton - After each cold start was - from the initial power-on. Each printing after the machine came out of the sleep mode, there were during the heating again the same alarm. Even after a call to the hotline and all the advice, the error could reproduce, and the hotline advised finally stumped the return, especially since it can not leave the speakers for this alarm ...

Apart from this shortcoming (probably the exception rather than the rule):

The installation on Mac OS 10.5, including involvement in a well-insular LAN was quick and the device was addressed right away. The operating software "Control Center 2", however, is not Mac-alike to use: From intuitive operation no trace. But if one has the hang of it, everything, etc. These inputs runs fine, all settings are available via software, starting with the basic settings such as time, date, fax sender identification through advanced network settings to the more complicated things like FTP ADDRESSEE right on device unnecessary in the rule. Via web interface are also the settings also feasible and somewhat clearer, although quite carelessly designed - not beautiful but functional.

For me, the main reason for the device selection: The Network Scanning works really great, if not exactly fast - but not too slowly, if I give to consider the price of the device. The file is stored directly on the computer was started from the scan in the file system, ie without the email crutch with other producers who also advertise a "Network Scanning" to where the scans via email attachment are freely definable email sent - is super awkward something. But with Brother which is great solved. The document feeder works properly.

The printing of text is also fine, images come in default according to me quite dark out. However, I have made a few copies of these reasons, and started not experiment with the settings.

By the way, quasi-direct-color copies-in-a-step with the device are theoretically possible, since the output of the copy on any printer - including color printers which technology whatsoever - can be done. As you scan saves to any format, call a program, print and delete the file. But I have not tried, because the appliance is already packaged for return to Amazon.

Conclusion: Apart from the mistake in my unit I of the Brother MFC-7440 appears super for operation in the network with a Mac with Mac OS in a SOHO or small workgroup. It should be emphasized that the Network Scanning reliably and comfortably in appropriate settings in the "Control Center" funkioniert.

To operate the USB port of your Mac, as well as for operation under Windows (of any connection) I offer no empirical values. The fax from Mac's via LAN has also not been tested.

PS: 21 hours after the order click (noon) the goods with normal delivery was with me (am on the following morning). Thanks to Amazon and DHL!

PS2: Some housing parts I call "sufficiently stable" and the price is reasonable. Who wants to nag about "too little material", may please spend more money elsewhere accordingly.
