Buyer's feedback: - * Excellent For Small Office - Great For Envelopes ...
I replaced my Brother MFC 7420 with this MFC-7840 and am very happy with the upgrade. It does everything I need and is small and quiet in my small office. It has a straight paper passthrough for envelopes, which works great. Read below for a comparison to other similar models.

I've had a Brother MFC-7240 for 2 or 3 years when the fuser went out last week. A new fuser is $150 + $75-100 to install, so needless to say, I decided to buy a new all-in-one machine. My Konica Minolta 2430DL color laser printer also conked out at the same time and I investigated replacing both with a color laser AIO. After not having much luck finding one of those that could easily print envelopes, I decided to stick with two different machines. In retrospect, I'm glad I did - it's good to have two printers around to back each other up just in case. (If you've got really light duty needs, consider the Samsung CLX-3160FN, which I came across in during this first shop. It's dirt cheap for a color laser AOI. Very small and very quiet, but not solid enough for a small office load.)

After reading up on monochrome laser AOIs for much too long, I narrowed my choices down to about a dozen in the $200-$500 range. I refuse to buy something I can't see and play around with first, so I went shopping at local stores to see the models I chose in action. I went to Staples, Office Depot and OfficeMax. Tried for Circuit City and Best Buy also, but believe it or not, they don't carry ANY monochrome laser AIO machines in their stores - only on-line. A manual feed and envelope printing are a must for my use, and reviews I read were conflicting, so I took a big stack of envelopes to test the machines out myself. I also took my own originals (a purchase order and envelope - both with various sizes of text and graphics) so I could compare apples to apples.

Most machines I tested had decent quality copying. There were differences, but all were acceptable for b&w general office work. Of course, copying was the only feature I could really test at the store. They all warmed up quickly and most were quiet enough. Here's what I found...

Brother MFC-8460 is too loud, big and imposing for my small office and took a little longer to warm up.

Canon 4270 has duplexing, which I was in the market for, but a funky half-tray for paper that was hard to load and looked like it could have problems down the road. Other than that, I liked it a lot (my second choice). Printed envelopes well and looked stylish.

Canon 4150 printed the envelope crooked and the coverage was too heavy and "grayed" the white envelope. I imagine this might be improved when changing settings from the print software to adjust for the thicker envelope paper.

HP1522NF printed the envelope uncrinkled, but it made a LOT of noise curling around the paper feed, which worried me. It also "grayed" the white envelope without being able to select a "thick paper" option.

HP M2727 did not print the envelope well at all.

Samsung SCX-4725fn has an easy manual feed, but toner on my graphics flaked off the envelope. It copied very quickly and quietly.

Brother MFC-7840w and MFC-7440n are pretty much the same except the they are different colors and the 7840 is wireless and better for networking. They both have backs that open so labels and envelopes can pass straight through and not wrinkle or curl at all.

I ended up with the Brother MFC-7840W from OfficeMax for $299.00. (It was $249 at Staples and Office Depot with a mail-in rebate - it's a long story why I couldn't get back to one of them and save the $50.) Not only did I like this machine best in my test, but I was happy with my old MFC-7420 and hope this updated version will treat me as well. The one thing I really wish the 7840 had that is does not, is duplex printing. If it had that, it would be the perfect machine.

I did a USB installation to Windows XP, which was simple and took about 45 minutes, but unfortunately the copier and scanner did not work. I called tech support and got through quickly. They couldn't help me, but quickly bumped me up to the next level of tech support. This next level was actually staffed with a real engineer who had the machine in the same room with him. After a few diagnostics he had me run, he determined that the logic board was defective and volunteered to send me a new one. I opted to return it to OfficeMax, who exchanged it with no problem.

I just plugged the new machine in and didn't reinstall the software. Now everything works perfectly and I'm very happy with this machine.

Buyer's feedback: - * taken aback ...
Was looking for a printer to replace an ancient HP inkjet.I'm finding I just outsource all my photos and print jobs as doing it myself is a grind.As a recent imac owner I am getting used to computers that just work so figured what the hey,a likewise AIO peripheral..... This was beyond my expectations. Prints-non smudgy, crisp, clean;200 sheets so far, no horrid toner tales that kept me up late at night like with other posts you can read on this site. This is a quality item, the keys are firm to the touch,The machine whirrs into use when it has a job to do then goes back to silence.The regular paper store holds a vast amount of stock,but you can can print on just about any kind of paper/label/ envelope using a special slot. You can scan, print, copy any document any size and store it anywhere on your computer so simply, so quickly.It took 3 days and much frustrating tech reading to set up a complete wireless office - Then discovered the setup is painfully slow compared to a wired setup via a simple USB cable,which I now have.Its funny that all the posts I read never said that...I have not yet faxed or received any,but no doubt it will be trouble free and first class.

Buyer's feedback: - Finally a great printer combination
I recently went through the hassle of setting up a home office and have always used HP printers in the past. I bought three separate HP printers and was entirely unsatisfied with each of them, and ended up returning all three - either they took too long to warm up, were faulty and froze, and or the interface was complicated and frustratingly difficult. Even on my very first test page, the paper got shredded and stuck in the rollers. After brining the final HP back to the store for return, I spoke with the manager who recommended the Brother. I've just started using it and love it - it is a true small business machine, fast, excellent quality, easy to set up, and solid - it even fells more sturdy and bomber than the flimsy plastic HP multi-use printers. Sure it only does black and white, and it does not have a legal size flat bed, but it is a work horse - prints quickly - the feeder is solid and most importantly, it has a very small footprint and takes up little space, while providing great utility. Don't search for anything else, learn from my lesson and go straight to the Brother.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great Multi-function Printer! ...
I am very pleased with this printer. It was very easy to set up. I have printed, copied, scanned and faxed and all was done very well. I need to spend time figuring out the scanning software since it did not work well to scan some documents (that were not dark enough to just fax) and then send them to the printer fax. I ended up printing out the documents and then faxing them directly through the printer fax. I suspect that other reviewers are correct in that the packaged scanning software is not as good as it was a few years ago. Overall, I'm very pleased with the multifunction printer and would buy it again. The only function missing is automatic duplexing.
