Brother Printer RMFCL2710DW Monochrome Printer (Renewed)

Just finished installing the printer. On my 14-year old iMac I used the enclosed CD, followed the prompts and was printing in a matter of minutes. On my 2022 MacBook Air, I went to "Print" and selected the 2717 and was printing. Will provide an update after I've had it a while.Amazon may want to ask what customers think about USPS delivery. I received a message from Amazon that the postal service had tried to deliver and I would need to reschedule. I checked my USPS account online and it said they had tried to deliver at 9:21 in the morning, package was "oversized", a notice was left and would need to reschedule. I clicked reschedule and received a message that link was no longer active. I checked our post box and there was no notice. I left a note in the box for our postal carrier and told her I would come out and pick up the box from her vehicle. When she delivered the mail later in the day she said that morning she'd had a lot of packages and didn't have room for the printer. She left the "notice" that started "sorry we missed you while you were out". I drove into town (15 minutes away) to the post office to get the printer. I asked if the person at the counter could explain why the package wasn't delivered. His response, "Yeah, sometimes if they've got too many packages they leave some behind." Brother and Amazon get 5 stars, Post Office gets 0. Amazon Prime delivery is a great convenience--if the Post Office delivers.

I haven't had this printer for too long, but so far, it works pretty good. I have suffered at the hands of cheap inkjet printers from HP for years and was sick and tired of paying ridiculous prices for the stupid tiny ink cartridges that were prone to dry out and quit working if you didn't use them for months. This is my first laser printer, and I am pretty happy with it. I see a lot of people complain about toner issues and connectivity problems with these printers, and after my experience with this one, I can see how a lot of people might have a problem setting this up if they are not very tech savvy. Luckily, I am a computer wiz, so I was able to overcome most of the technical roadblocks in a timely manner. Below is quick run-down for some of the issues people might have with this type of printer and how to overcome them.The first issue someone might have right off the bat is getting it to connect to their network. The DHCP needs to be enabled and have enough addresses available to accommodate another device. Most are set up this way, but not all routers people have for their home networks are created equal, and some come set up from the factory with settings that may limit the ability for peripherals, like printers, to connect to them properly. This is especially true with equipment that is purchased used. Some people, like me :), have their router locked down so tight, that nothing can connect to it unless they want it to.There is a setting in most routers with regard to either "Set AP Isolated" or "WLAN Partition" or some other jargon, but they all serve the same purpose. That is to disable network equipment connected to the router from being able to talk to each other. This is great if you want added security on your network, but If these settings are enabled on your router, then you will never be able to print to this printer from any device connected to your network unless you are connected directly by a cable from the computer to the printer. It's a give and a take. You give up added security, but hey, at least now your can print, right?The next mistake most people are going to make it to try to install the printer directly from Windows from the "Printers & Scanners" or from the device manager. Windows has default drivers that work with the printer and will find and install it, but you are shooting yourself in the foot right from the get-go when you do this. The reason being is that you will never be able to get to the settings and preferences that fully manage this printer, and you will not be able to find the setting that allows you to bypass the setting that makes the printer stop printing when the toner gets low. Many reviews on here complain about the toner-stop-printing issue, so this is how you fix it....Go to the Brother website and download the latest drivers for your printer and install all of the software on your computer. DO NOT use the CD that comes with the printer. It could have been sitting in a warehouse for 6 months or a year for all you know, and the drivers are probably not up to snuff. When the software installation reaches the point where you have to opportunity to update all of the software and firmware from the printer, do it. Do not skip that portion of the installation process. There is a sticker on the back of your printer with the "password" that it will ask for when you choose to remotely configure it, and within those settings, you have the wonderful option of setting the "Toner-Low" setting to "Continue" instead of "Stop". That way, you will never have to use those tricks or sequences to bypass when the printer stops printing when you still have oodles of toner left in the cartridge. Another issue that this solves is the fact that, without the software installed, you would never be able to scan documents from the scanner portion of your all-in-one printer and send them to your computer. You would be stuck with only basic print capability.I highly recommended that people also go through their settings for the printer directly at the printer itself and disable the "Auto Power Off" function altogether on the printer. It does not gobble up a million volts of electricity all the time when it's not being used. The reason I suggest this is because it will disconnect from the network and become "unavailable" for printing until you drag you carcass over to the printer and turn it back on. With the function disabled, it is always connected to your network 24-7 and will wake itself up from "sleep' and start printing a lot faster then if you had to go and turn it on every time when you haven't used it in awhile. I will update this review after a few months or add more info if I find any issues that I had to overcome.All-in-all, this is a nice little device that can print, fax, scan and copy for a pretty good price. So far, I am really enjoying the benefits of a laser printer over the junky inkjets that I have been using for so long. If you are like me and only print some stuff every now and then and are fed up with clunky inkjets, then you can't go wrong with a laser printer like this one.

Take a little peek at the instructions that are enclosed with the printer then CAREFULLY read the review by mathgeek. I think I'm going to like this printer. I had to press the WPS button on my old router to connect them and it was smooth sailing for the rest of the setup. It takes a little practice to find, scroll, and set up the required menu items. Don't forget to disable the 'cartridge empty' notification. You'll do it from your device because that menu item is not available at the printer. The only bummer is the price dropped $30 the week after I set mine up.

The printer is user friendly. Being in my late 50's I am not in the tech savvy group, I was able to set up the printer to work wirelessly with my mother's lap top. My mother was able to use the features of the printer that she needed like printing the mirror image. Brothers makes a great product for a very reasonable price.

I am a VERY picky person and I couldn't be happier with this printer. It goes into deep sleep when not in use to conserve energy and wakes right up when I send something to it. The printout is typical excellent laser quality. I'm so glad I chose this one.

Printer arrived without any damage in a well protected box. Instructions for setting up the printer were easy to follow. After printing many times the printer still prints like it was new.

It works well. My fourth Brother. No complaints so far. Tech support based on past experience. Simply the best.

Brother make great printers. This one is an all in one that does everything. Installation was quick and simple. Faxing, printing and coping were very simple. Scanning is a little more complicated, but that is the case on all printers. Scan option is simple. Retrieving what you scan requires an understanding of files and folders. Easy for me to do, but my wife told me it was two complicated. All in all, a great purchase.

copie, numérisation et impression. fonctionne très bien, impression recto-verso automatique.

Brother has continually provided long lasting durable machines with very affording replacement parts and toners. Been using brother machines for almost 15 years now and this one as expected didn't disappoint.arrived as expected and fully functioning. I have yet to have a client complain / have issue with any of the machines i've setup. ...i really am surprised the competition doesn't follow their business model.MCFL2710 - all features tested and working just fine.

Il manque des informations pour imprimante j'aurais aimé avoir plus d'instruction

Says it is wireless ONLY but not true. It can be hooked up by usb as well, but you will need a cable.

Reasonable price, easy to set up & first printings have been good!Like the automatic feeder & duplexing
