I have to agree with the others on this printer robbing you on the ink. You have to replace the cartridges (color and black) almost every few weeks... regardless if you use it. Once the warning screen goes from low to empty, the printer becomes a paperweight, as most of it's features lock up. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but it makes you think every time you have to shell out 40+ bucks to get a set of cartridges.
As for the unit itself, it is decent. Good scanning and the auto tray works well for under 10 pages. The copying is good, not as fast as some of the others models in its price class.
Overall all, I would suggest you skip this one because of the ink issue, it's just not worth it.

The printer functions fine, however, when powered on, the printer automatically cleans its print heads AT LEAST daily whether the printer has been used or not. Even if one cartridge is out of ink, all print functions stop - including scan, copy and fax. My printer seems to use Yellow ink the most. Brother recommends purchasing Genuine Brother ink only. At today's prices, it will cost $30 - 50, depending on where you shop, to purchase all 4 Genuine Brother ink cartridges. Amazon.com has a very good price ($5 for 4) on Brother "compatible" ink cartridges, which might be worth a try.
I WOULD NOT PURCHASE THIS PRINTER IF I HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN. There are other printers which cost much less to operate.

I read it somewhere else, and after much trial and error I got it to work:
In Windows Printer properties, set your printer settings to maximize ink: Bi-Directional printing:NO, Print quality: FAST, Paper: PLAIN
Place a very small piece of black electric tape over the small fluid gauge glass on the front edge of the ink cartridge. I had to try a few times to get the piece the right size.. it should cover the 3-sided glass on all three sides, from top to bottom. The tape cannot be too big as it will bunch up in the hole and not allow the cartridge to seat properly. Get sharp scissors or a razor knife and do it carefully. If you have it wrong, the machine will simply tell you that the cartridge is missing.
With a marker, I wrote a letter "E" on the back of the dummy cartridges, to signify Empty, and trained my family. When we need color, we will install the full cartridges. Otherwise, we will leave the dummies in.
Now if I can just figure out how to get the machine to stop self-cleaning.. that is an ink waster too.

Uses ink very fast, will not print on photo paper with out jamming constantly, jams a lot on regular paper, hard to clear jams, very frequently picks up multiple pages of paper. Seems cheap but the frustration and high cost of each print will drive you crazy.

If you want true quality, you have to spend much more. This has been fantastic for the price though.
