Pretty pleased.......2007-11-29
I have to admit, I didn't care for the Brother printer at first. But it has definitely grown on me. Glad I gave it chance! It does a very good job of printing, and I'm very pleased with the scan capability. So far it's been a very dependable printer. I had assumed it would come with "sample" print cartridges, but was pleasantly surprised to find they were "full-sized" cartridges.
Not Bad for the Price.......2007-10-30
I got this printer for my girlfriend who mainly uses it for her grad school assignments so nothing fancy. It's easy to use, and the quality is pretty good. One shortcoming would be the photo prints, we tried to print a photo with the photo paper which came with the printer but it kept getting jammed...does anyone have a hint to share?
Very Pleased! .......2007-10-09
Overall this is a great all in one printer. Good size/design. Not many of these type of printers have the hidden tray/bin for paper. Some printers the paper sticks out on the top. The HP C3180 doesnt have a place for paper storage, everytime you print need to fold down front flap and add paper. This design is really clean. Impressed with the printing/scanning quality as well. Wont top laser but does the job. Good deal, sign up for the credit card to get $30 off. Cant go wrong with this printer...period!!!
Only thing I wished is that there was a photo printing software. There arent much option when printing photos. I printed a 4x6 and wasnt able to adjust the positioning. It does print the photo well but could be annoying when some parts get cut off. This is just a minor issue. But then, who really prints photos???
I give this printer an A+. Printer is good to go, quite and built in card reader.
works great!.......2007-09-20
After looking at the reviews, here, I decided to get this printer, and after a month it still works really well. Good prints, and relatively fast. It took a couple times of running the programming disk through, due more to my lack of expertise, I suspect. A good buy!

Great MFC...but buy it somewhere else.......2007-06-15
This is great compact multi-function device for the price. However I would recommend you purchase the product somewhere else rather than paying more than $50 in shipping for a 20# box.

Customer Reviews:
Picky, picky, picky about paper!.......2007-11-28
If you want a straight-forward printer... this is a pretty good printer.
If you want to scan, it's marginal
If you want to print envelopes it is absolutely terrible, awful - don't waste your time.
If you want to print on any paper other than regular ink-jet flat average weight paper, get another printer. This printer smears every print job on any other type of paper.
Online support/FAQ is terrible.
So far so good.......2007-10-17
I needed a multifunction printer with color to replace my last unit that went out of action.
Now as for picture printing if you purchase a cheap machine than expect cheap quality when you print pictures. I purchased this for home use mainly for scanning and faxing. The one top notch feature is PC Fax (the ability to take a word document and fax without having to print and fax). You just can't beat this feature if you create digitally signed documents.
Now I have own this printer for 6 months and I am still using the factory print cartridges, so that goes to tell you how much I print. When I do print is B/W 99.9% of the time but again still the original black cartridge.
Networked fine for me, printer hard wired to main PC and via my home wireless my other 2 (3 if my son is on leave) PC's work fine.
The only issue is the requirement to remove paper to insert an envelope, would really like to have single print job tray but I can live with it.
At the end of the day if this lasts me a year and I accomplish what I need than it figures out to .37 cents a day, much less than what I spend at the local coffee shop.....
Easy to set up, Not truly wireless, Poor picture print quality.......2007-10-15
I think I had too high expectations of this printer. I needed an all-in-one and on a student budget, I came down $100 in price from my first choice (also a Brother) to this one as it had the best reviews for a 'budget' machine.
Pros:
1) Everything included in a unit that is not too heavy or bulky.
2) Price is right for students and those who are NOT PICKY and DO NOT have demanding photo print needs.
3) Set up seems straightforward and took only a few minutes to get it out of the box and running. HOWEVER I can't comment fully on set up or even regular print quality because I'm not done setting up for the CON listed below.
Cons:
1) NOT WIRELESS -- I'm techie enough to get by but I don't study up on things for fun. I just read 'wireless networking capability' and 'easy networking set up' on the description for this printer and assumed it had a new fangled built in wireless card that I could connect to right away. I hate, absolutely HATE wires and have way too many that I'm looking at even now as I type.
Unfortunately, technology and price point have not converged with this printer and you still have to hook up to your router or directly to your computer. I don't understan what the big deal about that is and it's not wireless in my opinion if you have to hook it up to something, anything, with a wire. This is a big disappointment for me.
2) POOR PICTURE QUALITY -- I used the printer and was frankly taken aback by the low picture quality. I'm only a casual digi cam user, I got a point and click Kodak Easy Share because I just want to do exactly that -- quickly and easily take, print, save, and share photos. This printer does have PictBridge so I can quickly and easily connect my camera directly to the printer and print. I can preview everything I need on my camera viewfinder.
But, it's not worth the ease of printing if I don't even want to keep the prints. The print quality is that bad. You might as well pay a few cents per print at your local express printing kiosk at the drugstore.
If you are anywhere serious about taking pics or plan on sharing them with loved ones don't get this printer. Invest some money on a sole photo printer or go up $100 and buy another all in one with better resolution and color clarity.
Overall:
Crams a lot into one pritner and IF under $100 it's a good value. A decent investment whose biggest plus is ease of use. It's meant to be a workhorse for the budget-minded as well as students. One personal peeve is that they brought the price down a week AFTER I bought this. If you spend $140 for this printer it's a disappointment. Under $90? You can't complain.
Worst MFC.......2007-09-22
It is an updated review. Original gave it a two star.
Now after entensive usage, have updated with one star. Worst MFC ever used.
Good: Network ready;
Cons: Everything else.
Have used many brand before. Lexmark, Epson, Cannon, this one it the only Brother MFC. Have to say it is the worst MFC ever used. Actually far behind other brand's function quality and longivity quality.
(1)Worst Scan quality superised to see, washed out color , blurred picture;
(2)Stupid paper feed method, you have to take all paper out and insert another kind of paper, change speed is 10% of Epson printer;
(3)Junk Software, the size of printed page is very hard to fit paper; cut page is a frenquent phonomena.
(4)Paper jam, never happenned on other printer;
(5)Photo print quality is worst of all; Color is terrible even if using original inks;
(6)Ink runs very quick. Print less than 4 photos, 15% over inks has been consumpted;
DO NOT BUY!

Let down by flaky driver software.......2007-09-10
After owning the product for about 3 months or so, I can only describe it as a particularly unpleasant experience.
While the hardware itself is reasonably robust, the software is hopelessly unreliable. About half of all attempts to scan failed for no apparent reason. After attempting to upgrade the driver software, the scanner now refuses to scan at all.
Error messages tell me nothing more detailed than "an error has occurred", and suggest I "restart my computer", but no matter how many times my machine is restarted, or the printer is restarted, the problems persist. Upgrading to the latest driver versions simply made the situation worse - from scanning unreliably, the printer now refuses to scan at all.
Do yourself a favour: avoid this product until Brother rewrites their driver software.

Horrible printer, expensive ink.......2007-12-24
My father purchased this printer. It is about as good as any other inkjet printer for producing printouts. Picture printouts are standard quality (some visible color splotching {dithering} if you look close). Regular printouts are acceptable
However, this is one of the worst printers I've ever used.
1. On device instructions are useless, getting useful information from google is very hard.
2. To insert photo paper it took me 20 minutes of puzzling through the various undocumented tabs and other physically moving things to figure out how to insert photo paper.
3. Windows drivers are only good for printing out "full sheet" printouts. Trying to print other sizes is not supported.
4. OSX, while allowing for complex printing options in software, was not provided with acceptable drivers. Pictures printed from OSX look like they were printed on a cheap inkjet.
5. Changing the ink cartridges almost prompted me to call a technician - it's that complex.
Overall, it felt like I was using a printer from 1970. Absolutely the worst piece of consumer electronics I've touched in recent years.
PS: Ink cartridge racket is absurd. Best buy charged $100 for 2 blacks and a set of colors. If you don't need to print photo-pictures, a cheap color laser is a much more economical choice than this printer.
Brother MFC-845CW Color Photo Inkjet Flatbed AinO Printer.......2007-12-21
The best All-in-One Printer I have ever owned. Having the cordless headset attached is a must. It does real good quality pictures and color copy and printing. The only thing is the ink goes fast if you use it alot like me. So stock up on the ink, because you are in for a real competitor.
I prefer HP.......2007-12-16
I thought I would try Brother - big mistake. I was replacing an officejet that I had had for 8 years. Within two weeks after I got it, I was having problems. The color quality is not as good as an HP. The blue prints outs grayish and I'm trying to print out brochures. Their support's answer was use only brother ink (I was) buy more expensive paper, etc. Clean cartridges, seriously you go through a lot of ink that way. They said they had a 90 day return. The place I purchased it from had a 30 day return. Back and forth, back and forth. Among the few things I do, I work part time, run a non profit and have a disabled child plus two other small children. I DON'T have time for this. By the time I said I was over it, they said the 90 day return was for ink. Now I see the have a year LIMITED warranty and I am going to try to address it that way.If not, Im going to to toss it and by an HP as soon as I can afford it. Big waste of time and money. Phone quality not good. Can't access the answering machine while away. My HP software let me scan a sheet and add that to my document I was faxing and type a cover sheet.
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.......2007-12-08
What a waste of money...The phone sounds terrible. I thought that would be okay since I have another phone in the office but I have had to use it on occasion and no one can hear me. Also, the yellow ink ran out so it just quit....WILL NOT RECEIVE BLACK & WHITE FAXES, WILL NOT MAKE B/W COPIES if out of YELLOW ink. What a pain. Also it is not user friendly at all. I bet a lot of these reviews were written shortly after purchase...bet they won't be so happy in a few months...been there. Looking for a new one now...uugh...hate to waste my money.
Oh brother!!!.......2007-11-23
I thought I would give Brother a try since the reviews I saw were mostly positive. I liked the idea of being able to do faxing from the pc without having to print it first. The sending of a fax worked OK. Recieving a fax was not. It seemed to be a software issue that I couldn't get resolved even after hours of installing and reinstalling. Called Brother and talked to India, I answered all their questions and they answered none of mine!
Sent it back...thanks Amazon...you give EXCELLENT service!

All in one Brother Printer, Fax, Copier, Scanner.......2007-12-12
Bought this because I already had one and it worked so good, my husband decided when he needed a new printer, this was the item. It is great, seller description was perfect, it arrived as expected.
Awesome.......2007-12-02
Got initial ink jet cartridges for it in the box. Works great. Was missing the printer to USB interface cable, but I used the old one I had.
Great Printer for the money or price paid - good value.......2007-11-05
My law office does a lot of printing. Most (98%) of our printing is done on a high speed $4,000 xerox color printer. But 2 years ago I wanted another printer, using ink jet technology, that could handle less demanding tasks and also serve as a fax. I had previously used an HP Office Jet V40 for these less demanding matters (bought the HP in 2001) but wanted a replacement with cheaper ink cartridges and a flat bed scanner (for lawbook pages) instead of the sheet fed scanner on the HP. I bought this Brother MFC 210C and it has held up well after 2 years of use (we print about 50 pages a month on it, use it daily as a fax, and the ink cartridges for it can be purchased for as little as $2 each if you search Amazon and Ebay). The drawbacks to this Brother printer are primarily its slowness and noise. But I am willing to live with that for such a low price. I give it 4 instead of 5 stars only because it has a built in alert to let me know ink is low and I do not like that (sometimes it will alert ink low and ink is fine, in which event you just remove and reinsert the cartridges).
Reliable Printer.......2007-09-07
This printer is not as fast as others, but it is very reliable. The printing quality is superb. Excellent printer at an excellent price.
OK for price.......2007-07-16
This is basically an OK printer. I have had trouble with mine. The first one would not print on envelopes (which the guide said it would). Tech support at Brother was not very informed on the model and said it wasn't supposed to print on envelopes. Finally after giving the page number where it said it should, they admitted a problem and replaced it. Now the replacement has broken after a year. It printed well but jams easily and scans well. The copy function is very slow. It is difficult to read the LED screen.

I am very disapointed with this printer. I bought it for the sole use of prining 80 copies of a bulletin I prepare each week. It jams after 5-10 copies every single time. It takes me hours to print my 80 sheets because I am constantly fixing the paper jams (the printer is slow too). I have lost reams of paper due to this fault alone. It also seems to use a lot of ink- I have to refill my black ink after 3 rounds of my bulletins.
Great with just a couple of minor flaws..........2007-08-03
This ink-jet is absolutely wonderful as far as a copier, printer, fax and/or scanner. The printer is somewhat slow. The first real issue I have is with the top paper tray. The paper is not wanting to pull out of the tray properly. I had to make sure the paper was in the tray just right and then the paper would pull to print. The other issue I have is if you want to run your computer dial-up service through the same phone line as the Brother, if there are any issues in regards to printing (such as having to add more paper, delete a job, etc.;), you have to unhook the phone line to resolve them if you are on-line. It's odd and has caused me to lose a few things I am working on-line because of having to unhook the line. Most people do not live in the boonies as I do and have DSL or Broadband so this may not be an issue with you. Otherwise, I am EXTREMELY happy with this Brother as it stores many different jobs at once and allows me to work much more efficiently. The second paper tray comes in very handy when I print legal paper...I just designate the other tray and do not have to change out the paper everytime.
Great Machine.......2007-06-27
Great working machine. Prints quickly in full color with good detail, great faxes, easy to scan documents. 4 stars because the tricky paper tray selection. I can't seem to set the computer up to automatically switch to the correct paper tray between applications so it will not print a letter size document on a legal size page, etc. Other than that, great machine.
fairly satisfied.......2007-04-27
I've been looking for a new printer for a while, and finally settled on this one. Fairly satistfied with the result. The printer is solidly built, print quality is very good to excellent, networking was extremely easy, fax and copy work well, and the 250 sheet second paper tray is great. Also, the Mac support is superior -which after many years of dealing with sub-par and bloated HP OS X drivers is a welcome change. Criticisms: a little slow; there is no built-in color LCD for previewing pictures when printing directly from a memory card (you have to print an index sheet and then manually key-in the number of the pic you want to print); and photo quality is okay but not great. (visible banding and colors look dull). Overall though, great printer.
Brother MFC-5860cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking with 2nd paper tray.......2007-03-25
In my businesses I print invoices and shipping labels concurrently and needed an affordable network printer with 2 paper trays so I did not have to change paper all the time. While searching for a network printer with dual paper trays I saw that owners of the Brother MFC_5860cn gave the printer very high ratings on cost, reliability, ease of use and actual English speaking live support. The only rating that was lower than the competition was print quality compared to the HP that cost $300 dollars more. I bought the printer and use it heavily for a busy home based business. The Brother MFC-5860cn has handled the job superbly. It is affordable to buy ink and I can now print invoices, sales letters, and labels from any of the workstations in the network. The fax has performed flawlessly on our VOIP phone system, and the excellent scanner and Color/B&W copier with 35 sheet feeder is a bonus that would be hard to do without once you've used it. I only use the OCR for mailing list/labels and it has worked fine. I only print to my HP for photos and presentation quality materials since it cost twice as much for ink, and only has one tray, and the HP software is still very buggy after numerous calls to HP support always starting with "mohwor prease" and ending with no resolution to the 25 copies of HPBIOD running in task manager after I printing with this printer. I have found the Brother MFC 5860cn to be a great solution for my business.

Useless Junk Returned to Seller -- NO Stars!.......2007-07-31
It took close to 2 hours to unpack and set up. Then it jammed on the first copy and I couldn't unjam it. I spent another hour re-packing it (it took 2 of us to do that because it weighs 76 lbs) and it's going right back to the seller. DON'T BUY IT!! If it can't function using ordinary copier paper like my other 3 printers, it will likely cause endless problems.
Great color printer, lousy everything else.......2007-07-08
Let's see--i paid for a color laser printer, scanner, fax, copier. I got . . . a color laser printer. The printer worked all the time. The fax worked about half the time and the scanner never. This is my first review but you can certainly believe that I rushed to return the unit after the first week! Glad I did--would not want to wait to see all the other problems that the folks on this page had!
Correcting the bad reviews.......2007-05-17
I bought this machine and have been very happy with it, my previous ink jet printer from HP was noisier and a lot more expensive in ink since HP saw fit to not let you refil their cartridges and if you did refil their cartridges with other ink, or purchased any ink cartridge besides HP, their print head would clog up and stop working. Also there is no moving print heads as on inkjets so no need to park the printheads as what happened to my previous printer, the carriage print head couldn't park as something inside the machine caused it to jam and since I couldn't find out what caused the problem I had to purchase a new machine. So far I have had this machine over two months and printed over 1000 pages with it with no problems. It is the fastest scanner and printer I have ever owned. Setting up the network was a snap and as the sign says on the front of the machine, the Color Laser Solution Ideal for Your business. The best all-in-one I have ever owned. Since the parts are so expensive though, it might be cheaper to keep purchasing new all in ones if it needs parts since this all in one has dropped in price. I highly recommend this all in one as far as I can see it does what it advertises to my complete satisfaction so far.
Terrible.......2007-04-13
This product is very slow. It claims 30+ pages per minute, but first it needs to warm up for up to 2 minutes...all while making loud noises as if its struggling. Color copies are not color-accurate...even after tweaking the settings. Jams up-often...atleast once a day. The only thing this is good for is a fancy paper-weight to make the office look impressive. Thats about it.
Horrible.......2007-01-03
Just HORRIBLE!!!! Do not buy this machine. It is extremely slow, noisy, and expensive to operate. What a waste of money. I wish I would have read these review before my purchase. This doesn't even deserve one star.
Product Description
The MFC-9700 is a 5-in-1 flatbed laser multifunction center that combines performance, connectivity, and reliability.This full-feature fax, laser printer, and convenience copier is also equipped with a color flatbed scanner that allows you to copy objects such as books and magazines.PC Fax capability enables you to send and broadcast faxes directly from your PC. An optional second 250-sheet paper tray, network interface and Windows/Mac compatibility make this the optimum solution for today's business environment.
Amazon.com Product Description
When office space is at a premium, a single machine with a variety of functions fills the bill perfectly. Brother's MFC9700 includes a fax, copier, scanner, printer, and answering system in one 10-pound case that fits snugly into even the tightest counter space.
As a fax, the 14.4 modem transmits documents at a steady rate, while the 64-shade gray scale clearly highlights the details of your graphs and charts. The 100-sheet capacity can handle either letter or legal sheets, while features like Quick-scan, a 10-page automatic feeder, and 48-station memory dialer make fax management a cinch. PC users can take advantage of computer-direct faxing, which allows customizable cover pages and viewing received pages before printing. The Windows-compatible scanner allows simple image scanning at 400 x 400 dpi. Management software is included, which allows you to easily process images for use in other documents.
When printing or copying, documents look clear and crisp with 200 x 400 dpi monochrome printing. Copies can be enlarged or reduced at the touch of a button, with up to 99 prints from one original. Top print speed from your PC is two pages per minute.
Cables, drivers, and a starting print cartridge are all included, as is a one-year warranty on parts and service.

Poor print quality........2005-03-26
When the machine was new, it worked fine. But after printing 1000 pages, there are toner stains all over the printed page. I replaced new drum and toner(cost about $200), but nothing improved.
Just like other brother laser printers, this machine has some design or manufacturing defect. The real lifetime of the drum unit is far less than they labled on the manual(20000 pages).
Outstanding machine; great price.......2004-12-19
I can't say enough about this machine. I wanted a multifunction printer but had no desire to go the inkjet route. This printer (which Amazon is selling for about $100 less than I paid for it a year ago) gives you laser quality for a great price.
And, of course, it's a multifunction, so it also makes copies, scans, and sends faxes. I've found the quality of all of these functions to be simply superb. Also, I find the machine very easy to use. If I want to scan a picture, I press the "scan image" button and the software opens on my desktop. If I want OCR scanning, I press "Scan OCR." What more could you ask for?
I remember reading older reviews of this product and having concerns about XP compatibility. Well, I can report that that problem has long since been solved. I'm running XP and the printer, which the box now says is XP compatible, works just fine.
Now it's true, as the reviewer below says, that it sucks a lot of power, but that was true also of a Panasonic laser printer I had years ago. It hasn't caused us any problem.
In short, this machine is an amazing bargain. It gives you great quality, and it's super reliable. I've really given it a workout, printing out entire book manuscripts on it, with no problems. A great, great printer.
Works awesome with Macintosh OSX and OS 9.x and Windows.......2004-07-09
Great little workhorse. I have the machine hooked to a Windows 2000 & Win 98SE (dual boot) thru the ECP parallel port. Works great for scanning, faxing, printing, copying. Only feature I don't use is fax receiving on the PC thru the Brother 9700.
I also have the unit hooked up thru USB to my Macintosh G3 B&W (upgraded to G4-450 w/ Panther). I regularly scan into Photoshop 7 (OSX) without any problems. I can print and fax thru USB to the Brother 9700 (both OSX and classic (not fax) works fine) without any probems. I haven't scanned into classic mode (why would I) Also haven't had a need to receive faxes into my Mac thru the Brother 9700. One complaint is that the PaperPort software is Windows only-Bummer! If paperport for OSX was included, this machine would get another star! I wish this unit could be networked as well as have the USB, Parallel (for scanning, faxing, etc) and network (for printing and fax only) at the same time! (hmm, maybe dual USB connections???) Otherwise, this Brother rocks! And only $350 (price match office supply stores)!!!
Wonderful!.......2004-06-24
This is without a doubt the most reliable and happy IT purchase I have made to date! I home office and I push this machine hard. I primarily print, fax, and copy. I use a couple reams of paper per week. I have had my machine for over a year now. I have not had any problems. I would enthusiastically recommend this machine to anyone. I don't know how I would live without it anymore!
It has its flaws, but I'm very satisfied with my MFC9700.......2004-05-09
I had a similar problem in that one side of my photocopies were becoming increasingly faint and a gray haze started to develop on all of my copies and laser printing jobs. I too called tech support who advised me that I had a bad toner cartridge, even though it had been recently replaced. I was also advised to buy a new drum, if replacing the toner cartridge didn't solve the problem. After purchasing a new toner cartridge and a new drum unit, I still had the same problem. Thanks, tech support genius, for your expert advice. So I called back tech support and spoke with someone else - someone who actually knew what he was talking about. The tech support guy guided me over the phone to reconfigure my scanner, by punching in a bunch of numbers into the keypad. Before I knew it, the MFC9700 was working like new and it has been ever since. I even reinstalled the old toner cartridge and drum unit back into the machine and they work perfectly. Except for that little episode, the MFC9700 has been an exceptional piece of equipment. I would recommend it for its professional quality printing and picture-perfect copying. I would also recommend being very wary of pat answers from tech support people. Often times, they are as clueless as the caller.
Product Description
The Brother MFC-9100c is a versatile system that holds a printer, scanner, copier, fax machine, PC fax, and video capture, and that is all the more flexible because of its flatbed design. The machine is fed by a 250-sheet paper cassette and by a 50-sheet automatic document feeder, which holds 3.5x5 inch to 8.5x14 inch paper. You can even fax, copy, or scan while you print.The ink jet printer prints at a speed of up to 7 pages per minute in monochrome and up to 4 pages per minute in color, giving you professional looking documents. The fax function operates with a 14.4k bps fax modem. With PC fax you can sent faxes directly from Windows applications, and you will appreciate the real time transmissions, especially when it comes to transmitting time-sensitive color faxes. The PC fax function also includes NetCentric PC Internet Fax software for faxing over the Internet. Convenience is key when it comes to the copier function. Make up to 99 multiple copies and take advantage of the flatbed design to print bound documents. You can make copy enlargements to 400% of the original, copy reductions to 25% of the original, and you can do it all without having to fire up your PC. As with printing, faxing, and copying, take advantage of the automatic document feeder for hands-free scanning. The scanner comes with ScanSoft Paper Port and TextBridge software. And akin to scanner is the color video capture, which allows you to capture color video frames from a VCR, a camcorder, or a digital camera, and to save, fax, or print them.
Amazon.com Review
The Brother MFC 9100C packs about as much punch as you'll find in a multifunction printer. This ink-jet-based unit delivers 1,440 x 720 dpi printing, color flatbed scanning and copying, fax, and even video capture functionality.
Despite all of these features, the MFC 9100C is relatively compact. The unit includes a comfortably designed control panel across the front, with a standard flatbed scanner that sports a 50-page automatic document feeder. The paper source is a 250-page cassette that slides into the very bottom of the unit's front; print output ejects just on top of this cassette. A parallel connection and phone jacks for the unit's modem are located near the rear of the left side and an RCA plug for video capturing is on the front. This arrangement is nice, though we found the manual feed slot on the top of the paper cassette hard to see. Separate copy and fax buttons on the control panel make the machine easy to use for the first time.
We set up the MFC 9100C without any complications. The Brother accepts four separate ink tanks, so we recommend that you exercise caution while inserting them if you want to come away with clean hands. The unit's software installation is automated and offered us several options of software to install. Our performance tests yielded almost 3 pages per minute (ppm) printing a 10-page Word document in normal mode, and 4.8 ppm in draft mode. Our photos printed with modest quality in 360 dpi on plain paper, but were spectacular in 1,440 dpi on glossy paper.
There's plenty of memory in the MFC 9100C--enough to hold up to 600 standard fax pages and 100 speed dials. We found the fax features easy to set up through well-organized menus that are accessible through the control panel. The MFC 9100C includes a number of software applications on two CD-ROMs, including utilties for document management, color fax, automatic e-mail printing, and Corel Print & Photo House for graphic printing tasks.
This multifunction option delivers an impressive amount of flexibility and quality. Its high-resolution scanning and printing functionality, along with its color copying, scanning, and faxing features, make it powerful enough for any job that may come your way.
Pros:
- Color scanning/copying/faxing
- High-quality printing
- Flexible flatbed scanner
Cons:
- Limited 250-page paper cassette
- Manual feed slot hard to find

The convenient flatbed copier enables you to copy books, magazines, or mounted presentation boards. In addition, its built-in 50-page automatic document feeder copies documents ranging from 3.5 by 5 inches to 8.5 by 14 inches. It reduces down to 25 percent and enlarges up to 400 percent in 1 percent increments. No PC connection is required to make either monochrome or color copies.
You can scan photos, logos, and images in color at up to 1,200 by 1,200 dpi resolution (interpolated). Plus, the package includes award-winning ScanSoft PaperPort document management software and ScanSoft TextBridge OCR software for enhanced productivity.
The video capture feature enables you to unleash your creative imagination. Now you can capture color video frames from your VCR, camcorder, or digital camera and print them directly or import them into your PC for further enhancements. You can also fax, save, manipulate, or send them as e-mail attachments. The unit uses a standard NTSC video jack.
More and more color documents are being created and distributed daily. Many are sent via the Internet as an attachment to e-mail. But for time-sensitive documents, you can send and receive color faxes via your PC between other Brother Color MFC users with the included FaxSpeed software. The package also includes NetCentric PC Internet Fax software for low-cost faxing over the Internet.

No problems at all even after more than two years of heavy use. No paper jams, copies are clear and crisp. Great machine!
Great Multi-Function for the Price.......2000-07-10
It slices, dices and even purees. I have owned this machine for 6 months now and am very happy with it. It's easy to use, prints very well and cartridges are easy to install. I haven't had a paper jam yet despite some fairly intense printing.
A very versatile Multifunction Machine.......2000-06-11
You can print and fax and copy all at the same time. Extremely versatile. Ink cartridges are ecconomical each color and black have seperate cartridges.
Average customer rating:

- Great service help
- Don't buy if you really depend on your printer.
