Pretty Sweet
First I tried the printer/USB cable and it printed from my iMac computer. I didn’t even need to download any software. Next, I tried wireless from my iPad, just needed to make sure that they were both on the same Wi-Fi network and it printed great, no new software required. It’s a pretty sweet printer and meets my needs perfectly.

Unfortunately we had to return it
Hooked it up and it made a copy and printed a page. It would not scan the second date it stopped print in and copying. We deleted the printer and divers and downloaded the installation again. Still had problems so we returned it

Serious scan problem
The printer works fine. However, I do scan a great many documents and email them. Your machine will only send the scan documents to outlook. I do not use Outlook. This means I have to scan the documents, save them in a folder in my documents, then find said documents, write an email and attach the documents. This is very inefficient. And it is for this reason that I wil...

Love my Brother
I had my first Brother since 2004. I had to print multiple educational materials for 10 Skilled Nursing Facilities every quarter- that’s about 5,000 sheets of paper each quarter. I continued to use it after I retired in 2020 and only took consulting jobs. It was compact and portable enough to carry in my trunk.
Finally I purchased a new one April 2025 and it has all the...

It was difficult to find directions.
We had a LOT of trouble getting it set up. You need to provide good - easy to follow instructions for older people who are not as computer litterate as the younger generation is.

The printer is great love
I love this printer. It works great. One of the best parts is I bought it from Staples. Being an older guy and not very tech savvy I over looked a very obvious connection problem. The tech support from our local staples store was great. The high level of patience was greatly appreciated.

Works really well
These five stars are for the personnel at the store--one of whom was the store manager--who spent a lot of time helping me and giving info on the different printers. Much appreciated!

Envelopes
Works well. Instructions could be clearer can it print envelopes? Told it could but can’t see how.

Love this printer
So far we are 100% satisfied with this printer. It was a little difficult to learn how to turn it off but just hold the on/off button 10 seconds or so and it will turn off. Other than that, this printer prints crystal clear, totally satisfied. I would buy it again and recommend it to any one.

Brother Replaces HP!
My new Brother MFCL2820DW replaced a five year old HP printer and I am absolutely delighted with the quality and ease of use. The video and print tutorials are far superior to HP. Set up was also a breeze. Well done Brother.

Great entry level printer!
A great printer, with quick wifi response. It's very quiet, and has dark, legible characters. A great product with a responsive service team.

Not user-friendly, setup is way too involved, scan menu doesn't have organize scanned pages option, big, cumbersome, and an all over 100% bad purchase.... in my opinion & for my work needs. Should not have listened to the salesperson. Returned the printer 3 days later.

Waste of material.
Printer itself is not bad. It goes through toner very fast, and you are required to swap it before it is fully depleted. Waste of material and money.

Maybe should do more research?
A few things I do not like about this printer:
1. It makes too much noise when printed.
2. Everytime I turn my computer on or wake it up I have
A update notice it automatically begins to update but never completes. I have to stop it using task manager.

Great for Home Office
Perfect size for my home office, and the fact it is wireless means I can print from whereever I am using my laptop throughout my house and deck. Crisp printing, easy to use copying.
