In the office I had a comparable device from HP, which was very loud and he had a very long lag time until he finally went into standby and again became quieter. The Brother is against it pleasantly quiet. After commissioning, he had an unpleasant odor, but has since gone during the first prints. From the size it is slightly more compact as the HP but significantly larger than the Samsung I had previously privately, but because of the low life - just one held some 3,000 pages. Thus Brother remains the outdated drivers CD is the only shortcoming. However, since the drivers are mostly current in the download anyway, that's no reason for a lower rating.
