UPDATE: I've now had this printer a little over two years. I've put about 130,000 pages on it and it's still going strong. I did replace the drum a while back, but with this many pages on it, I think that was to be expected. The only problem I've run into is that sometimes I get an out of paper error on the top tray when it's not actually out of paper. But that was solved by not filling the top tray quite all the way to the top; I now leave about 1/4" from the fill line and it works without a problem. I print almost exclusively via WiFi and every now and then from my iPhone.ORIGINAL REVIEW:This printer is working perfectly for my job as a notary signing agent. I frequently print 250 pages at a time, combination of letter and legal, no problem. It prints very quickly and the print is clear. It was easy to set up the two different paper trays in the app so the printer pulls legal or letter size as needed automatically.I did read another review where someone mentioned the printer takes a long time to wake after being in sleep mode, but I haven't found that to be the case with mine; it only takes a few seconds. I also saw a reviewer who said this printer doesn't actually print on legal paper. It DOES print on legal paper. You just have to extend the paper tray manually. When you do this, the tray does extend out the back of the printer a few inches, but that's okay with me because I'd rather have it extend a few inches rather than have the whole printer be that much bigger and heavier (see photo).This is a pretty large printer for a home office. I've shown a picture of it with my Canon Pixma 6200 inkjet below it so you can get an idea of the size.Setup was not bad. I initially had a little trouble getting it to connect to my home wifi, but once that was solved, everyone in the house has easily been able to print to it. It also comes with a cable so you can connect directly to your computer if you want. This is a great feature ... I bought a ScanSnap ix500 at the same time I bought this printer, and although the ScanSnap can also connect directly to the computer, it didn't come with a cable. Had to buy my own. I like having the option of printing directly in case the wifi is out. It also has an option to print from mobile devices, but I haven't tried that yet.

I use this dual paper printer for notarized documents that are 2/3 letter and 1/3 legal sized paper in mixed order. It works incredibly fast and prints well. My documents must be legible and free of marks on either the body or side of paper. This printer is a replacement for a Brother 5150 dual tray printer that gave me well over 500,000 pages. I print 2,500-7,500 pages per month and need a reliable printer. This printer was easy to set-up using my secure wifi network, and I use it on multiple PC and Apple computers as well as iPhones for printing. The dual tray comes with a 500 and 250 page trays. This is perfect for me given the ratio that I print, and the LED screen allows you to very easily assign paper size to the tray. I had it working in about 30 minutes.Brother toner replacements are excellent but expensive at around $100. I use aftermarkets that typically range around $20. HOWEVER, with after markets you have to accept that some of them will either fail or deliver bad quality. So always have a spare if you NEED to print. Brother cartridges have never failed me, but just not worth the money given the volume that I print. On my 5150, the drums would give me 50,000-70,000 prints, but I don't know about this model yet. I will update if there is any problem.

I could not be happier with my printer! I literally looked everywhere for this thing and when I tell you I had almost given up, I mean I really, really had. I had companies telling me these things were backordered for months on end and I needed this exact printer for the opening of my small business. When I finally found this one - I was already traumatized by several canceled orders that I had previously made with other companies where I submitted the order for the product and either woke up the next morning to a cancellation notice telling me the item was actually out of stock or that there was a delay as the product was on backorder and would likely not ship for 2-3 months (would have been nice to know BEFORE I placed the orders). By the time I went to order this particular one, I knew I had to reach out directly to the seller to confirm it’s immediate availability and I was very pleased that the seller responded to me very promptly to let me know that they did, in fact, have it on hand, ready to ship. They also let me know that they could send pictures to assure me of its new condition and even stayed in communication with me throughout the purchasing process through shipping and even after delivery (I was experiencing some errors on my end of things after originally submitting the order). Once I placed my order, I received it within just a few days which was incredible. It was in perfect, brand new condition just as it was described to be and it prints letter and legal sized mixed documents like a dream. I am so pleased!

Great value. This is a great printer to do duplex printing with an extra tray for the price. It works, does the job well, is wireless. Again, great value.The biggest problem is getting it to do mixed paper sizes with a mac. People on different forums report different hacks to get this to happen like rotating the PDF 180 degrees, or 360 degrees. I had to uninstall and reinstall the driver, then it stopped printing for a while until I figured out that if I used preview instead of Adobe Acrobat I could get it to print. Unfortunately, using preview, I can't do automatic mixed paper sizes. I have to print all my letter-size first, then all my legal size paper. Brother support has no fix to this, so that is incredibly annoying. I really like brother products, but due to this, I will eventually be upgrading to an HP, which I know will work with Macs seamlessly.It gets 4 stars mostly due to the value. It would be a 5 if not for the lack of Mac support.
