Brother Compact Monochrome All-in-One Printer

Bought this printer to replace a (fast) digital copier. Just reached my first 10.000 copies in a few weeks. Toner cartridges last indeed more or less 3000 copies. Love the duplex scanning and duplex printing which saves me a lot of time. Much faster than my other Brother (color)printers. This MFC-L2750DW is meant for B&W only. Output is good. So far no issues. Would have loved a larger paper tray than this one that contains max 250 sheets. Very happy with my Brother family. UPDATE AUGUS 2023 In November 2022 I bought a MFCL2750DW to replace my malfunctioning digital copier. The first impresions of the Brother printer were so good, that I also left behind my old Canon B&W copier. In January 2023 I bought my second MFCL2750DW. Isn’t that strange? Let me explain why I did this. One of the main reasons to buy this Brother B&W printer was the speed. Two thousand prints per hour is very useful since I do a lot of books for educational purposes. In the beginning I had my doubts about the small paper tray(250 sheets), but I learned that putting in some 200 sheets was a piece of cake and made it possible to continue printing for hours without any delay. What I also learned that cleaning the corona wires from time to time must not be forgotten. The printer doesn’t give a warning about that. Warnings are given when you run out of ink or when the drum has to be changed. Both are very simple actions to do. Another reason to buy this printer was the possiblity of two sided scanning. After having scanned thousands of papers I really can’t complain. When there was an issue, it had to do with very old sheets of paper, sometimes even slightly bent because of use of paperclips for months. But working with normal nice sheets of paper, I never had an issue. But why the second printer? First of all, living on a small island in the Caribbean without local technical support gives you more peace of mind to have a “spare” in reserve when something goes wrong, for even schools can’t wait for weeks when you are in trouble. But the main reason was getting a better workflow. Two sided printing is not even half the speed of one sided printing. So I decided to use one printer for the quick one sided printing and the other for two sided and printing 160 gram covers for the books. Last month was the period for the beginning of the new schoolyear and as always the busiest time of the year. To be more concrete: the page counter of the first printer shows 173 thousand and the other one 51 thousand. More than 120 K prints were done in the last three weeks. That’s what I mean with: the sky is the limit with this superb printer. Did nothing go wrong? I think I had all together 3-4 times a paper jam. Very easy to solve. Only once I had some trouble with a toner cartridge. To spread the toner better I had slightly shaken the cartridge, but after that the printer said: No toner. It was a full cartridge. Re-installing the cartridge didn’t help. But with assistance of the excellent Brother Service I could solve that problem: just triggering the lip on the right side of the cartridge did the job. What about the future? My plans for next school year is to work with 3 printers: the first for one sided printing and the others for two sided printing. So my total printing speed will be 4000 sheets per hour. Did I say that I am very pleased with my printers? No, I love my Brothers!
