Hello Sandrahunger
Yes, Win8 works without problems, see here: https://support.brother.com/g/b/oslist.aspx?c=ch&lang=de&prod=hl1110_us_eu_as or here: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=ch&lang=de&prod=hl1110_us_eu_as
The toner supplied is an "inbox toner" which lasts for about 700 pages. The TN-1050, which can be purchased separately, lasts for about 1,000 pages.
A good product alternative is the HL-1210W, as it also has W-LAN = no cable connection to the device necessary, can be placed anywhere.
Even better: HL-1210WVB, as it comes with additional toners, which lowers the price per page and provides reserve toner for some time.
Greetings
This can only be used for printing. You need at least a scan function, which is then usually also listed directly as a copy function in the specifications. You can find multifunction printers here: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/producttype/drucker-multifunktionsdrucker-10?tagIds=77-691
PS: Please note that there are multifunction printers that can only copy one page manually and only on one side. However, there are also some that can copy multiple pages and/or front and back pages automatically.
I would be happy to answer your question... First of all, I am an IT shop with MCSE certification and I have been doing this for 26 years. I can very well tell if a product is good or not. I just wanted to help, that's all. This printer is really rubbish. I bought an HP from Digitec and it works fine. Kind regards
