Worst ever due to stupid ink management
Pros
- built-in Ethernet interface - automatic feeder
Cons
- scanner doesn't work over Ethernet - stops working when one ink cartridge is empty
Recommended it?
No
I recommend NOT to buy this unit.
The reason for this is, that as soon as one ink cartridge is low (not even empty), the unit stops working. On their website Brother mentions that it was designed that way to ensure quality printouts and protect the heads. In my opinion the only reason is to force you to buy the expensive cartridges.
Even if you only print black & white, you still need the other 3 cartridges. The problem is, that the automatic cleaning process drains the ink. This means even if you NEVER print a single color page, you constantly have to replace the color cartridges.
