Brother Printer Mac Setup

After much agonizing over types, styles, prices and brand names I arrived at what would be best for my situation... instead of ink jet or mega tank the laser printer won. Now ...what kind? I chose Brother and Im thrilled at the outcome. I dont print much anymore but when I do its going to be something essential . The laser is ready , boots up smoothly, prints quickly and the page is sharp and clear. I did have a slight problem in setup., which was downloaded from the Brother site. It asked for some number that was supposedly on the printer somewhere.....it was not. So I kept looking and found another Brother site for setup and this one worked beautifully. Ot only took a minute or so and it was ready to rock. Since then Ive printed several pages for both written word and artist reditions of animals to use for hobby work and all came out perfectly. I even like the size.of the printer which has a footprint about the same dimensions as my old ink jet., but with a distinctive more compact style. And for the price I paid.....I'm super impressed.

I bought this as a replacement for an old Brother P-Touch I had for years. I am very impressed with this printer. I've used it with Windows, Mac, my iPhone and my iPad and all work great. I bought this as a kit that included a case, the rechargeable battery, the printer, and two label cartridges. I'm very happy with the flexibility this provides. I've printed barcodes, graphic images, text, you name it. I would definitely buy this again.

Cable worked very well at doing its job of connecting my Mac computer to the Brother printer. No problem.

Our second Brother printer, would not have anything else !

My problems were in getting the printer setup and printing. Specifically installing the software. I am not new to this having done IT work previously. This is obviously a new machine and that seemed to be the major problem. Plus I was hampered by slow download speeds as I have a satellite connection. First off I couldn't find this printer to load the proper software, it was the second day before I found it. I kept trying to install the software and drivers but the data was not getting to the machine, no drivers were installed. On the 4th morning I went to the support site and got a new front page which took me to the downloads for this printer. Most of this was the same methods I'd been following already but there was a difference at the end because this time all the data transferred to the machine like it was supposed to. This machine prints documents very fast and full page photos only slightly slower. The images are very sharp and clear. The photos print exactly as the original. Now that it is setup I am very pleased with this product. I think Brother specifically provided me with new software that worked. Perhaps I was among the first to try and load this software and the process had a glitch or two. So, Thanks Brother for the assistance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using this brother printer as it is easy to setup and easy to operate. The labels come out clear and easy to read. I love using this printer for my work needs because of how easy it is to operate. I highly recommend using brother for your needs.

I have had brother printers in the past and always had great experiences. This one is no exception. Easy to setup and use. One of the first things I look for is toner cost and this printer is on the lower side as far as toner cost. Output quality is great and wifi use was an added bonus. Highly recommend this product to anyone that wants a laser printer that will last.

This is my second time buying a Brother MFC line all-in-one and is my go to now. Being able to setup remote scanning where the printer emails you what you scan is a life safer. Add in the face that you can have three different types of paper on tap to print from makes this a true powerhouse!

Brother printer needs to use brother ink. I bought another brand ink that did not work.

a good case for Brother printer.
