Highly disappointed. Many of the "nice to have"/ "convenience" features are not compatible with a Mac.

The features on this machine are very nice but the execution of some of them is weak. The scanner renders documents that are out of focus. The paper port in the back restricts where I can locate the machine in my office. This means that the machine takes up a lot of space that it wouldn't have to take up if the port was located somewhere else. Unless I use the port in the back, the machine squishes envelopes and they look horrible. The instruction manual is poor so my attempts at setting up the fax machine have been frustrating and baffling. The color is not correct; not even close to what it should be and so dark its hard to make out images. Brother's fix was to reload all of the drivers but that didn't work. The good points are that it offers a lot of features inexpensively, it makes very clear copies quickly, it prints well (except for the color being off) and its compact.

the brother mfc-9970cdw is a very good machine. best feature for me is printing on both sides automatically. very good printouts. downside is it uses too much toner - and the toner is not cheap. i guess this is the same for all color lasers. scanning is kind of limited, on my other scanner, you could adjust dpi - haven't found that on this one.
i would recommend this machine if you don't care about toner cost, but then again, toner is expensive for all color laser printers.

The printer does good copy & printing in both color and B&W.
My complaints are: (1) it is very noisy and can be hard to talk on the phone when printing. (2) the messages for preparing to change the ink are irritating. They start displaying on the screen and computer a month before the ink runs out.
