It duplexes automatically. I never thought I would use this but I use it all the time. When I want to print more than one page I set the preference to duplex and it automatically prints on both sides (you do nothing!) thus saving paper and space in folders as there are less pages! Has toner saver mode. This is great for most of the things I print. Can print multiple pages on one page by making them smaller to fit (you can choose 2, 4 or 6 pages on one page)- it's smaller but for some things this is great - which in turn saves lots of paper! Can scan and copy too! When not in use it goes into a quiet mode so you think it's actually off but it isn't! More features than I will use but am happy I got this one. My 18 yr old Epson ActionLaser 1500 (which I loved beyond words and tried everything to get it to work) would not work with the new Win 7 OS on my new computer so I had to bite the bullet and get a new one. HATE inkjets as ink cartridges are so expensive and I rarely need color. The toner cartridges for this are around $50 and last for around 3,000 pages - and in toner saving mode even more! In my opinion, for the money ([$]) I could not have gotten a better printer. Love, love, love it!!! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good home or small office laser printer. I almost don't miss my old one :-)

This is the absolutely a horrible printer. I've had nothing but issues and was finally offered a REFURBISHED printer from brother after four hours dealing with their customer service line. Apparenlty power surges are a normal course of operation even when it blows up your computer. Paper jams are frequent, ink goes quick, hard to network to a wireless system. Brothers attitude is oh well. Do yourself a favor and buy something differnt.

Comments about Brother� HL-2280DW Laser Multi-Function Printer:

Sometimes HP tends to hog the frontline in printers due to it's mass marketing. After noticing a favorable review in a Consumer's Publication as a good buy for quality and cost per page, I tried it. It is compact in size and fits well on my desk. Cost per page is super!

On Windows 7 DO NOT load the CD software, instead load the current version from Brother's website first. It fixes a few bugs, especially the wireless portion. Also set Toner Saver Option to on, if you want to conserve ink for draft documents.

    Comments about Brother� HL-2280DW Laser Multi-Function Printer:

    After spending years with inkjets, we finally made the plunge in getting a laser printer with wireless connectivity. Setup with the cd was a breeze on most of the computers. We have Mac, Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista in our house. The Vista computer gave us fits, but I think that was the computer's issue, not the software since the software installed so easily on all the other computers. Now we have a printer that we can print to from anywhere! It is zippy, and the menus are easy to understand and use. We put ours on toner-save mode, so hopefully our print cost won't be too high. Ultimately, we are loving having this printer. It was a great buy with all its features, it looks great, and most importantly, functions well. I am a demanding critic of things that I buy, but this critic is very satisfied. 5 out of 5 stars.

    It seems to work well for what I use it for. I haven't had it long so it's tough to tell how well it will last in the long run. It hasn't jammed yet, which I take to be a good sign since other printers I've had always jam frequently and early in their lives.

    Comments about Brother� HL-2280DW Laser Multi-Function Printer:

    Overall looks like a good printer. But the first thing I noticed was there is a small fan on the side that runs all the time. This started to drive me nuts. Also when it boots up, prints or scans the lights in the room flicker. Very annoying. This tells me that the electronic parts are not very good quality. This is a bad sign and this printer won't last. Took it back right away. I am going back to Canon.

          A:

          With this great 3-in-1 you will be able to print, copy, scan your documents. The HL-2280DW can be connected to a Windows computer or a Mac: And can print in PDF format. The paper handling includes automatic duplexing (two-sided printing). You can scan to your computer or copy with the usual assortment of scaling and layout features. A Duplex button on the front control panel walks you through two-sided copying via LCD prompts. With these great features, you should easily be able to scan documents and convert them to pdf to send to email with this printer.
