Customer Reviews:

You’ll never go back to inkjet after using this – Easy setup (Mac or PC), speedy, good quality, compact, and networkable I was a little worried about the paper curling issue at first, but having used this printer for a while, it is not as bad as some people make it out to be. Yes, the paper is curled slightly when it first comes out, but if you set it aside on a flat surface and let it cool for a few seconds, the paper will flatten out by itself. I have seen other laser printers that do far worse curling.

Network setup is very easy, especially if you’re using Mac OS X Tiger or Panther. I was able to connect both with Bonjour/Rendezvous wirelessly via Linksys 802.11g router after installing drivers downloaded off Brother’s website. Also was able to connect a PC running Win XP, which required an extra step or two. After you’re connected, if you need to change any default printer settings, it’s all done through a web interface (both FireFox and Safari worked fine).

Overall print quality is noticeably better than any inkjet and as good, if not better than similar laser printers in this class. Even graphic printouts were much better than I had expected and is perfectly fine for non-photo quality jobs. There are settings for 300/600/1200 dpi, a toner saver feature, power saver timeout, print density, and paper type selector (someone mentioned that selecting “thin” paper type causes less curling). Various other advanced printer and networking settings, and emulation modes exist also.
