    I was advised by someone I trusted to buy a Brother All-in-One machine for my home office. I checked for user reviews online in as many places as I could. The Brother MFC 8220 did not have that many, but they were all positive. Other machines seemed to give their users some level of inconvenience; such as frequent jamming, excessive noise, heat, or power consumption.

    Although this machine is network capable, you have to purchase a separate network card. since that was not an issue for me, I did not mind. I can't say that I use anywhere near all of this machines capabilities, but it has performed everything well. It is a great laser printer, great copier, and great fax machine. I was concerned about not having a flat-bed scanner to scan odd things into a file, but I have not needed that yet, and have an scanner with another pc in the house.
    I am very happy that I purchased this unit and would do so again. I think it jammed once on me in the 3 months I have owned it. I was feeing an envelope I think, which is a little different. You quickly learn how to feed so that the machine "grabs" the sheet and then takes it.

    We purchased this machine less than a year and a half ago (7/09) and it was working great up until yesterday. In fact I would have highly recommended it. However, while receiving a fax, we heard a terrible grinding noise and the machine completely stopped working. After removing a side panel, we found one of the gears had fallen off and the plastic piece it was attached to had disintegrated. When I called Brother and explained that the machine was defective, I was told it was out of warranty and I would have to pay for repair. We have several other Brother printers in this office. Needless to say, the replacement machine will not be a Brother.

    Comments about Brother� MFC-8220 Laser Multi-Function Printer, Sheet-fed:

    I have owned 2 of these all in ones, as well as other Brother all in ones. We use this for a business. We print hundreds of documents a day, as well as dozens of faxes. Both units I have owned have had issues making copies. We make hundreds of copies per day. Quite frequently, when you are making multiple copies of the same document, the machine will stop and give you an error. You have to turn off the power and wait for it to reboot. Once this happens, it will continue to do so over and over. Both printers I have owned have done the same thing. I have had few problems with jamming, and get great life out of both the toner (use the higher quantity toner) and the drum. The unit will make thousands of copies after it tells you the drum needs replaced soon, so do not replace until the drum is completely used up.

      This product does not have a flip top copier, so it is impossible to copy pages of different sizes. If you only ever need to copy 8.5 by 11, it would probably be fine.

          I have never bought any printer, fax or scanner that wasn't a HP. When I needed a new fax, I looked at the offerings from HP & was very disappointed. This Brother got great reviews & I decided to try it. I am very glad I did. It is a wonderful fax. It can keep up with my extremely busy fax traffic that comes into my office. When I send a multi-page fax it puts it right through, no jams, no problems. I am thinking of buying another one to use in another part of the office for a copier/scanner function. You will definetly get your money's worth with this printer.

                I received your inquiry through the Question and Answer Feature of Staples.com and I apologize for I was unable to answer you directly. Since you already have this product I believe this may be a question that the manufacture will have to research further to trouble shoot for the best resolution to fix this printing issue, please feel free to contact the mfg at Brother at (800) 284-4329 or review your user manual. Please also note that the new drum item number for purchasing is #561176.

            • Q:

              Does a sheet fed mean that if I hve 3 pages in my document that I want to scan, can I put all 3 sheets into the "machine" at one time and then the machine will scan all 3 without my having to do anything. If it is one of Brother's all-in-ones with "flat bed", would I have to put each sheet separately and scan each one separately?

              • A:

                Yes sheet feed does mean you can feed documents in to the fax unattended. A flat-bed scanner does require that each sheet be scanned one at a time.

            • Q:

              when I scan 2 or more pages, each page is saved independently instead of as one file. this is very frustrating since it forces me to have to save each page to my desktop and then grab them to send the. However, each page is still separate. This all started when I upgraded to windows 7. my MFC-8220 is about 4 years old. Do the new 8220s have this problem? what is the solution. thank you.
