Brother MFC-7820N 5-in-1 Network Monochrome Laser Multifunction Center Reviews
No cleaning, no purchasing new print cartridges. It is cheap to operate and is always ready to go. I would highly recommend this MFC to anyone that wants a multifunction device and does not need to print in color. I plan to pick up this same printer for my father for Christmas. I bought the Brother 7820N 9 months ago and love it.
I am a solo attorney and have to copy peoples documents and documents for court. I love it. I have not replaced it in the year that I have owned it but rather held the sheets as they go in. BAD COPYING/SCAN/FAX OF MORE THAN 5 PAGES AT A TIME. It can take less than a minute to email smaller documents from scan to email sent. If copying is not important there is no better machine. BAD ENVELOPES.
My clients love it. GOOD EVERYTHING ELSE. This machine has a really really easy scan to email or fax to email function where you can press the scan button on the machine then down to select email or click an icon in brother's program from your computer. In addition it does not do envelopes because it crinkles them and ghosts (slightly lighter duplicate imprint in a different position). You title the email and address it and click send. FAX TO EMAIL ROCKS. Cheap great machine. It can use the sheet feeder for multiple pages.
It makes it into a PDF and opens an outlook new email. It misses a page by throwing 2 or more through at a time every time I do more than 5 pages. I use a separate printer for envelopes. I use about 1000 sheets per month in the Bother 7820n and a bother hl-1440 so my use is below requiring a corporate copier. If I copy, scan or fax 5 or more pages I have to either hold each page as it goes through the copier or count the pages when it goes through.
Everything works now after a little sweat, setup, and trial and error. After a month, the machine is great. Footprint is good for my desktop area. Copy quality is great.
Scan quality is great. Buy.com has best price on OEM toner I could find. PC fax works good too. Not so for either machine. Speed is excellent.
I called Brother support and they did nothing but take me through the steps I had already been through. Stylish, modern design. After many, many hours of trial and error installing, uninstalling, and re-installing the included software, I finally realized the print and scan functions would never work on the Vista machine if I used the supplied install disk. Overall excellent machine so far.
I have one XP and one Vista machine on a home network. Finally, I manually installed the printer and scanner on my Vista machine using the Vista utilities in Control Panel and it works fine. I ended up plugging a USB cable directly from the printer into the XP machine and connecting the Vista machine to the printer through the network using a network cable. Sales literature promised easy set up with the included disk through the home router.
Print quality is excellent. Setup is a bear though. Power drain is noticeable (house lights flicker).
This will also give you time to order a new toner. This printer refuses to print when the toner low signal comes on. It will fool the printer and you will be able to get the printer going. Simply take the toner out, look for two holes on the side of the toner and put a tape to block one of the holes.
Especially the kind that say they do everything. Well I decided to buy a really good laser printer. WOW. I had had it with cheapo printers.
Granted it only does black printing, but I never saw any reason for all that added color gobbldegoop anyway. With an added wireless hookup I am in printing,faxing coping and scanning heaven. I works like a dream and FAST. I love this machine.
It has so many functions that I haven't yet discovered them all but the ones that I have work 100% of the time w/o a glitch. I couldn't be happier. If I need to print pictures I will take them to the store.
