Pros

The mfc-7340 produces very high-quality printed pages, with no smearing or smudges. All fix easy (i repaired many but never sold copiers):1-ink cost. The only downside to this printer is that it does not allow you to print in color, which i sometimes ...  Read More

Even with the starter toner cartridge this printer comes with, you still get 1,000 pages of printing. It uses standard brother toner cartridges and drum replacements. The only negative is the separate drum, that you need to replace every 3 or 4 toner ...  Read More

Brother mfc-7340 prints, copy, scan & fax. Like the copier - doesn't require the computer to be on. Software it comes with allows you to program * to quickly scan/copy at a designated setting.

Basic setup is fairly easy. Only quibble is the fine tuning of the controls. Brother recommends plugging the unit directly into its own wall socket.

Set-up was so-so: on the first try, the sofware froze and i had to restart everything.

Price


Just remember you are getting very decent performance in a fax, copier, scanner and laser printer that fits in one small space ...  Read More


I consider this the best value, overall, of anything i've had so far.


I got mine when there was a sale at staples for $200.


Expect to receive the best product in this price category.

Shipping


It was delivered very fast and was relatively easy to set up.


I print on average about 12-15 shipping labels every day.

Packaging/appearance


They package a special version of paperport with the unit.

Competitiveness


There is also the better and more compact version mfc-7360n which is as good and affordable.


All mfrs know the common user issues are nearly identical with all copier brands.


The size of the device itself is not too much larger than a comparable device in its category, and actually fairly small compar...  Read More
