Not as good as previous model

March 5, 2011

By Admin from Arizona

I insisted on buying this model to replace the MFC 8500 I had used for 8 years without a problem until the laser reader died. This model does not perform even close to the workhorse my previous version was. I will be looking to replace it much sooner than I had hoped because it is not meeting my business needs as the other version had.
