Reliable and Hardworking Printer

December 3, 2012

By DrAudie from New Orleans, LA

Our MFC-J220 is our 5th Brother Printer in the MFC series. We purchased it on a Sunday afternoon when our existing MFC "gave up the ghost". Not the printer's fault though as my wife and I are both educators and really ask more of the printer then what they are designed for.

We have been exceptionally pleased with all of our Brother products over the years as they give us true value in relation to cost. That is the reason we replace each of them with another Brother Printer.

The only thing I miss on the MFC-J220 is the multiple document feed which our last unit had otherwise it is a great printer at a great price!

Very difficult to use

December 3, 2012

By BruceM from MN

This is not a stand alone product that you can plug and play with a MAC PC. Scanning is not intuitive.

I should have returned it the day after I tried to set it up. Brother support is good as they tried very hard to give me work arounds for the product's short comings.
