Printer arrived next day via FedEx.
Wifi setup was a tad tiring. I finally figured out I could do it entirely from the app (save for occasionally needing to push a button on the printer) instead of fiddling tediously with the up/down buttons on machine to enter the wifi pw - but even from app it seemed a little more complicated than necessary, and timed out a few times during connecting. But in the end got it done. So don't give up. lol
I've printed out a few docs so far, and all came out perfect. It prints fast, and can print on both sides of paper.
I bought this printer, after doing some research, to replace the frustratingly sorry as can be Epson inkjet printer that constantly needed cartridges replaced, and then either left blank spaces or ink blots on printouts.
I already like this brand new Brother laser printer 1000% more than the old Epson inkjet. I only occasionally need to print anything, and my understanding is that laser printers that use toner cartridges are much better suited for such use. Fingers crossed! This printer only prints in black and white (thus the "monochrome"), but that is perfect for my needs.
To help with setting up, especially with installing the toner cartridge, a youtube video was a big help and easier for me to follow than the diagrams. Look for the 9 minute 14 seconds video titled Brother DCP-L2640dw Setup, Install Toner, WiFi Setup, Copy, Print %26 Scan Test that has over 57k views. There are other good videos but I found that particular one the most helpful.
If photo comes through, printer is on a 16.5 x 16.5 in table. Oat bar on top for scale.
