Brother MFC-L2740DW Laser Multifunction Printer, Monochrome, Duplex

Having struggled with inkjet printers from other manufacturers for years I took the plunge and bought a Brother laser printer. This printer is easy to setup, offers great connectivity working seamlessly with both Apple and Microsoft products and has lots of bonus features. The touch screen menus are clear and concise and it just sits on my wifi network ready to wake up and print whatever I want. I think this is probably one of the best products I have bought in recent years. Thoroughly recommended as it just works!

Easy install and flawless wireless connection. You can't hear the price! The only con I would say is it could print/scan pages faster.

[Employee of walmartcanada] I'm glad I bought this a month ago and am so happy that I did

This MFC-L2740DW is printing everything I send it - & getting the finest print so well on those fillable PDF tax forms that I am glad I chose against e-file. It also made stellar copies of the pages I needed to sign, in duplex, just as they were printed. So, my taxes are done! In addition, it printed a 97 page Owner's Manual in duplex - 49 pages output! All the diagrams & the tiniest screws are very clear. That saves me memorizing the thing anticipating the dread day my Inspiron 15 3000 series should break down! I've also made a test copy-to-file in color that looked fine. It seems odd that a black & white printer could do that. I installed it from a download of the full package, instead of using the DVD. I chose to do it with a temporary USB connection. A 16' USB cable worked despite I read it should be max 6'. Afterwards, poking around, I think I've determined the versions were probably the same. But no matter, using the Status Monitor in the Taskbar, I've updated both the Brother firmware & software. The install put a shortcut to Brother Utilities on my desktop, & the Status Monitor & CC4 (Control Center) on the Taskbar. All have plenty of options & are working well. Well - actually - I have neither been able to use OCR in the scan tab of CC4 (it says I have no OCR software installed) or to scan to e-mail (it says I have no default e-mail application registered on my computer). I'm sure those things are fixable, & scan to file worked beautifully & in color.

After years of have a Brother Inkjet MIC, I decided to switch to this printer because I liked the idea of the printer taking care of duplex printing. A bonus is that I can print direct from Android and an iPhone. No complaints so far.....but then I'm not expecting ant.

Great scanner & printer; however: Instructions for wifi connections with Apple Laptops were not clear. We had to call the Brother customer service line to resolve issues. The agent was very good and was able to resolve the issues. However, it is suggested that your packaged instructions be updated and revised.

Printer works very well, meets all my needs....BUT...I'm a little disappointed in the apparently small amount of memory. What I consider to be small print jobs (40 to 60 pages of mostly text) are interrupted by an out of memory error. Most of what I print is less...so it's more of an irritation than a huge problem.

Better than my last Brother multifunctional machine, except cannot get this one to function with my downstairs answering machine, which is on the same telephone line. When you have the distinctive ring feature switched on you cannot select fax/telephone mode. Somewhat disappointing.

Double sided print, scan and copy function. So far meeting the expectations. Using scan facility through WiFi is cumbersome. Have to use cable to scan the documents. Overall satisfied with the purchase.

Instructions are difficult I don't like the way it operates Can't print in color Still not totally operational A fax came in with only 1/10th of the top portion Ridiculous top flip to fax Touch screen sucks (It's better with buttons) Too heavy to move/slide when wiring/testing
