HP difference for me because of the cost of consumables from (cost of toner and delivery with an almost empty toner) - sh. div. Reviews for HP devices.
Furthermore, with me a predecessor device, an HP and the experience was so have suggested to me a change.
Respect. Support has a comparison of the div. Manufacturer shown to me that only structured Brother and also for older devices support supplies (eg drivers for new Windows releases).
Brother gave me yet fallen since when comparing the div. Brother products always came only a SW for use, ie the interface to the product is standardized. Thus, to obtain a criterion in a few years yet support. Other manufacturers often provide product-specific solutions, which are then soon taken out of service.
This Brother SW is structured so that you have to install only a simple driver. Any editing programs "dock" then at this interface.
I have the product fully satisfied now for about 4-5Monaten in use and have since.
Some reviews can respect. Problems in device WiFi or LAN read. It is not (more), these problems are. Brother has learned and obviously a very good description regarding incl. Illustrations. Setting up the network support included.
The features that I have pointed out above are fulfilled very well. I am impressed also by the fast response of the printer. A few seconds betw. Standby and finished print are really top.
After printing, the Brother is still running after a few minutes. This is common for laser printers. This could possibly be disturbing. In standby, he is silent (no fans or similar audible)
Yet in addition:
The fax function is not important to me and therefore I have not used this.
Automatic Duplex is only for printing. Duplex scanning does not work automatically, but will be part of device support (manual rotation). But can one in this price range is not expected.
In summary:
, Totally thought through ... highly recommended top appliance purchase
