This Brother MFC-7840W Laser, is working well but the fan is noice. Do you think it is possible to fix it?
Thanks,
Alfredo Campos
Got it for our home office. A good buy for $199 when I bought it in Mar 2009. It's easy enough to set up and print quality is good. 2 complains I have, 1) as I have no long distance carrier on my home phone we use phone cards or cell phone for long distance calls. I can't seem to figure out how to dial with a phone card with the fax function. 2) the printer started telling me toner low pretty soon. I have no idea how many pages I gone through already but I just ignored it for a while until one day it finally said toner out... then I used the trick posted by one of the reviewer here and now it's printing great! seems like they are trying to rip us off by getting us replace toner before it's really out!
I was disappointed to find this machine, despite its moderate cost, does not do duplex printing automatically (only hand feed!). And this is not made explicit anywhere I could find in the manual or PR material. I wasted a lot of time looking for a clarification when I first got it. Otherwise, it's fine. Does the job without fuss. Easy install.Brother MFC-7840W Laser Multifunction Center with Wireless and Ethernet Network Interfaces
This is the best printer I have ever used. It's fast, easy to use, has all the features you need. This is mono chrome so not go for photo but for everything else it's the best!
It took a while to get the printer connected over a network to our Mac stations but once we were able to figure it out, its been working like a charm. Only downside is the cost of ink. After six months of modest printing already had to replace the cartridge. Its also not I would call petite or stylish, other than that no complaints
