Good Machine for the price of an all in one printer

bytedsloper Feb 12, 2006

Pros You just have to change the color that is low.
Cons Scanner doesn't give you capabilities of selecting only a part of the document to...
Recommended it? Yes

I like the ease of installation because it was done automatically but the fax part wants to answer the phone no matter how many rings you set it for. I found it to work with my computer very easily and the manual that came with it is great. So far no problems and I've had it about five months now. Read full review »

This printer is GARBAGE!

bycrocodile69 Nov 8, 2007
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Network ready
Cons Drinks ink daily, head will dry fast, made with many cheap and fragile plastic parts
Recommended it? No

This printer will be my ticket to anger management! Right now I feel like smashing it with a baseball bat, p*ss on the remains and then mail the pieces to Brother's CEO, so that he too can enjoy his piece of trash product. Anyway, first of all the printer will use all the ink through its "self... Read full review »

Brother 420CN is a real Piece of Junk -

bychambu Oct 24, 2007

Pros Good for a few days.
Cons A real Piece of Junk.
Recommended it? No

I was impressed with this Brother-420CN for a while, then it started acting up. Drinks that ink like a thirsty dog. Spent more on the ink than the printer itself. As long as it stayed plugged in (NOT even turned ON), it kept cleaning itself and my wallet over and over. Now, only after 6 months of... Read full review »

Pros The price was great for all the functions.
Cons The color printing is not very good at all.
Recommended it? No

I bought this printer about a year ago, on clearance from Walmart. It has all the functions I was looking for without the expensive price tag, ($79.00 plus tax)but there is only one problem the color printing. It seems that it has no idea what purple is, and the blue is always a greenish color. I... Read full review »

DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!

byihatebrother Jun 11, 2006
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros multi-function machine
Cons paying for expensive ink you don't actually use; scanner doesn't work when ink...
Recommended it? No

First, the print quality is sub-par and then, well....the automatic 'cleaning' process gradually empties your ink cartridges (cleaning out your wallet, more like) - EVEN if you've never used your colour cartridges, you'll have to replace them! Ridiculous. AND, if your black runs low, the scanner... Read full review »

Brother MFC-420 CN is a very good buy

bybongohead25 Feb 26, 2006
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Small size and nicely designed. Photo capture options.
Cons Don't bang this around. Kind of delicate. Be gentle.
Recommended it? Yes

Has all the functions I wanted. Saves space because it loads from the bottom and the auto feeder portion loads from the side. Be sure to go back after installing and install the other programs. You can customize the types of scans you want etc.. with the software. Make sure you set the proper paper... Read full review »

Pros Great scan, copy, and print quality. Network capable.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

First saw this all in one machine at a local electronics store and liked it because of the machines size and profile. Unlike other all in one machines, this machine height is minimal. Surprised the mfc-420cn can also be hooked up to my home network, which is a big positive.
I bought the... Read full review »

Paperless PC-FAX receive is nearly useless!

byfiery Apr 7, 2006
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Still nice if meets your needs
Cons Not so nice paperless FAX operations
Recommended it? No

I bought a 640CW and so a friend bought a 420CN thinking that he would lose just the wireless network connections function of my more $$ 640CW.

Wrong!

With the 420CN, you can output paperless FAX's from any networked PC. However you can't receive FAX's to ANY PC for paperless... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

Baught this machine from Wal-Mart for really cheap for the features it has . Found out later I cannot use it as a plain fax machine without first installing the four ink cartridges. Got the idea - make a cheap machine and force people to buy expensive cartridges. Good for office use but not... Read full review »

This is a lousiest Brother's product I have ever own!
After about 2 months of using it. The ink sensor started acting up. It gave error message of "out of ink" when there are still plenty of ink in the cartridges. I replaced with brand new ink cartridges but it still did not recognized there... Read full review »
