 Great Home Office Multi Function Machine May 31, 2008
I love this machine. Works great networked with both my PC's and my Mac. Printed 50 copies of a document in the same amount of time that my inkjet would have taken to print 3. Crisp text. Came with a starter cartridge that I've been using for 2 months now. Only flaw - it crinkles envelopes a little when printing them.
Good machine so far... April 20, 2008

I bought this machine specifically to print on envelopes and checks. It is the only laser all-in-one that has a multi-purpose tray at a good price. I was concerned that the snake paper path would not print well on envelopes, but there does not seem to be a unit with a nice straight-through paper path like my old HP 5Mp.
When I ran my first envelope, I was disappointed at the creases in it, so I visited the Brother web site and followed the extensive how-to. There are a couple of levers in the back of the machine you must flip and then using the network setup (control center 2) you set the MP tray to thick. Then let the machine crank through your stack of envelopes.
I just printed 200 heavyweight envelopes with NO creases. So it pays to read the tech support. The page goes on to state that if you are getting creased envelopes, you may need to be sent a new machine.
One problem I did encounter was a loss of communication (I'm using my MFC over an Ethernet connection), but cycling power brought it back on-line. Will tell you more as time goes on.
*** So here's the update. Still printing/faxing/scanning/copying just great. The network problem was that sleep mode was turned on. So I turned it off. Find sleep timer in the menu and then with the cursor on sleep time press the 'Secure' and 'Job Cancel' buttons at the same time. Then turn sleep off. And guess what? The machine goes 'idle' instead of 'sleeping'. It doesn't use any more power in 'idle' over 'sleep' according to tech support.
Great Small Business Printer April 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this a few weeks ago for my small business. I print about 25-50 pages a day and scan frequently. The printing is fantastic. Sharp, super fast prints. The paper curls a little, but it's not a big deal to me since I mostly print invoices that end up stuck in a box anyway.
Envelopes do crease, but nothing terrible. I just hold the envelope steady with my finger and it very usable. If you print more than say 1 envelope a week, I'd search for an envelope printer or use labels instead.
The return address top corner does crease a bit and doesn't print well there. However, it's not bad at all for the main address and looks fine to me using Costco #10 envelopes.
Scanning is simple and not a ton of features...I find 300 DPI works well for magazine images to avoid Moire patterns. Photo scans are fine and I deal with graphics regularly. Scanning to PDF and email are very helpful.
I can also avoid the software with the user interface.
I have not faxed anything or copied anything yet. Will do so sometime soon to see how it it.
My main reason for 4 out of 5 stars is the loud hum it makes when printing, the slight crease in envelopes, and the annoying beeping when I open the paper tray. It gives off a lot of heat too - which can get warm in a small room.
**Tried it out on copying and it's faster than the copier place down the road. Excellent copying. Works GREAT in both VISTA and XP. No problems as a network printer.
 A Great Multifunction Laser Printer March 10, 2008
When I bought a new Apple iMac earlier this year, I found that my HP laserjet 3200 would not work with the new Apple Leopard OS and HP did not have drivers that would fix the problem. I went shopping at the local office supply stores and read the Amazon reviews and finally settled on this Brother printer. Wanted the speed of a laser printer and did not need color. Fax was important, copier useful and scanner a nice bonus. I was somewhat concerned after reading some of the reviews of this product by others but so far (2 months) I have had none of their problems. The 8460N worked right out of the box. Setup with the iMac was painless and I now have it set up as a bonjour printer attached to my new Apple Time Capsule. No problem with that setup either, once I realized I had to uninstall it as a USB printer and reinstall as a bonjour printer. When it is in sleep mode, it is completely quiet. When I send it a document, it wakes quickly, prints very quickly and will go back to sleep mode if not given more work to do. It does not make excessive noise while it is printing, relative to the HPs I have owned. And there is no noise when it is in sleep mode.
Compared to the HPs I looked at, this Brother seems well constructed and durable.
The only minor negative that others have also mentioned is that the printed pages are delivered in the cavity below the copier deck, which you can see in the picture of it. Not a major issue but can be a bit hard to get hold of all the pages from this spot.
So far I am completely satisfied with my decision to buy this printer and am comfortable recommending it without reservation.
 Worse printer ever produced February 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have this printer for about 3 months and it just never stop giving problems. It was noisey and always saying no paper, called the technician and they replaced it. same problem. the technician said that was a problem with these printers. So I upgraded to a wireless
MFC-8870DW. that did not solve the problem.
If you look at it, its the same printer with a wireless card.
They took it back for repairs and gave me a refurbished 8460 as a loaner, and guess what same problem.
SO TAKE MY ADVICE, DO NOT PURCHASE BROTHER PRINTERS.
