Brother Printer Printing Half Page Vertically

This is one of the best choices out there for a B&W All-in-One. We go through a Brother All-n-One every two years and get the rated 100,000 pages out of them with zero down-time and no breakdowns. This is a communal, open-access device and is used for printing, copying, scanning, and Faxing. Just use any decent multi-purpose copy paper. Although the DR-820 drum is rated for only 30,000 pages you can actually get 50,000 pages out of them if you read the fine print in the Brother literature. Calculating using the B&H cost for the L5800DW, TN-850 toners and a DR-820 drum I found that it costs about 2.5 cents/page for each page printed over the 100,000 page lifetime not counting the cost of the paper. The latest Brother 5000-series (like the L5800DW) are very speedy in printing and scanning and just about jam-proof. The one advantage of the L5800DW is that it does not have a duplexing document feeder which can be prone to jamming if you try to feed junky paper documents into them. The duplex, two-sided printing works flawlessly over the 100,000 lifetime. The only reason we bought this one is that it replaced the equivalent Brother All-in-One unit that I bought 9 years ago and had made its 100,000 pages.

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.

OEM toner for Brother printer. Works well, has reasonable page count. Nice if it was less expensive.

I bought a Brother HL-L6200DW printer that came with a 3000-page toner cartridge built-in, so it will be a while before I actually try this toner cartridge. From what I understand, this cartridge is good for 12000 pages, so it should cover my needs for a long while after the original has been depleted.

OEM toner for Brother printer. Gives good color and has reasonable page count. It would be nice if it was less expensive.

High quality printing. Installation is quick with printer’s website page.  Pros- uses cartridge without chips- it’s easily reusable! Has Wi-Fi. Very simple and reliable. Cons- iOS WiFi AirPrint is missing ( but you still can wirelessly print documents inside Canon business print app - see AppStore)

I got this printer in hopes to use it for work and creating presentation documents. This is a wide format printer that has quality printing page after page. The ink seems to dry instantly and does not smudge when printing multiple pages. It works simply with your smart phone and is a breeze to set up. I had a bit of a problem with the ink cartridges but that was human error. Be sure not to miss any of the packaging or you may run into same problem. It holds up to 500 pages which makes it nice when you print a lot. It prints extremely fast. I was able to go to a business meeting with confidence everyone had superior copies of the presentation. This is a review for the Epson WorkForce WF-7310 Wireless Wide-format printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Excellent printer... fast b&w printing,,, however, color printing is very slow compared to other brother color printers I've had.

This is our 3rd Brother printer. We like the features of these printers like double sided printing, duplex scanning, and most of all...new with this one...ink saver feature. We use it on a Mac network. Works great.
