    High-quality multifunction device with a wide range of functions, yet simple, intuitive operation and excellent price/performance ratio.

    Replaces my 5 year old Brother DCP-9055CDN.
    Brilliant printer. New to me is the rapid duplex scanning, which scans both sides simultaneously in one pass, which of course can be printed double-sided. Using continuous scanning,     entire batches of documents can be digitized in a very short time, on one or both sides. Saving is possible in 17 different formats (including JPEG, PDF (single or multi-page, also searchable), Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx), although the latter is only of limited use, since formulas cannot be captured, of course).

    Useful for simple use in private households when the USB port is not needed.

    Printer is quite okay. Scan and print quality is good. Unfortunately, I kept having problems when scanning via the USB. It kept failing to recognize the USB stick. Since it was a loaner, I could live with it. When scanning, the scanned sheets are pushed over the edge of the printer when ejected and fall to the floor. Troublesome! You can flip open a flap to keep the sheets from falling to the floor. However, the flap is too far over the edge of the printer, so that you have to touch the flap every time, which causes the flap to fall off.
    Note: If you get second hand devices, I would be very careful. Most of the time they have a quirk. Like this printer, for example, the USB port didn't work properly. I also just returned a Kyocera M5526cdw Ecosys (WLAN, Laser/LED, color, duplex printing) printer. The scan was unusable. Digitec took it back as a "non-defective product" at a 10% discount, even though it still doesn't scan properly after being repaired. See my comment under this product.

    • When scanning, the sheets are always thrown to the bottom.
    • With the single sheet feeder, you have to push the sheets into the opening with unaccustomed force.
