So then the focal points
=> Optics / PROCESSING
I've noticed when carrying the package that I won a very nice chunk of land here. With around nine kilos you orders a lot of technology, such as the additional copy module for the ADF function or the lush sufficiently sized paper storage.
Once the device is unpacked one recognizes the additional cost to some other device that provides similar features. The Brother is processed very neat and a quality image. Mattes plastic changes in the upper part with plastic panels in I'd say distant from carbon-look. The gaps are even and nothing rattles around.
All guides are designed precisely and stable, for example, paper guides rest nicely in the desired size and can not be displaced by what a crooked catchment prevented.
The touchpad as well as the keys are also available for people with thicker fingers (which I am one ;-)) pleasant to use, and are fitted properly, the pressure points are clear and pleasant.
=> SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER
Done on the whole not a big deal, and in about 30 minutes. I have chosen to set up the printer via USB connection and installation CD and einzupflegen the wireless network. The steps are explained in the manual step by step with graphics and there were no problems when setting up.
For the experienced user, this represents no problem for the inexperienced user if he adheres to the instructions should also be no problem.
=> HOW AND SCAN / PRINT QUALITY
Well, the printer does what he should do, he prints. The range of functions you'll see that in the description and I've tried all the functions up to the fax function already on the first day.
Everything is given by Brother is done. Although the copying / scanning feeder (ADF) does not work as fast as a real photocopier, but much faster than a regular flatbed scanner what the fact remains that work already considerably more pleasant, alternatively, but you can still regularly as the flatbed scanner loading documents (ie flap up, insert, and scan).
The scanner does its job very well and scanned documents are saved quickly and qualitatively on the computer or the USB stick.
If one decides for printing so the Brother can also convince thanks duplexing. The quality is doing fine, even if my HP has previously delivered a slightly richer and denser black typeface. The Duplex function works perfectly and I could not complain about a paper jam. The Brother pulling the leaves a clean both from the paper cassette as well as from the tray in duplex printing.
Very nice on the paper tray is the second separate compartment for smaller formats such as envelopes or photo paper. The small compartment You just have to advance and the printer will feed the small-format templates.
Two invaluable for me advantages of Brothers, I would like to stress once more. These are the networking capability via wireless and the almost complete support for the printer function range even without a PC. So you can only from the touch panel tasks grant without the PC is turned on.
=> CONCLUSION
The Brother is really very well prepared for the private office needs. He carries out his work quickly and without technical errors such as paper jams and crashing or incompatible drivers and acoustically remains at a comfortable level. All technical features are well thought out and can be operated quickly, the communication with the device is logical. For me, the purchase was worth, I would go back to buy a Brother and would recommend it, so there's 5 star.
