Pros: Lots of features. Computer to MFC interface works well. Cons: Head is clogged (black) after about 6 months of use. Will attempt warranty remedy.
Update: 24 April 2007 For a few months now, the MFC-5440CN has required repeated manually directed cleaning cycles to clear all the black jets. Color jets are always fine. Like, to start the day I run a print quality test. I'd always find that the ...
Pros: Cheap to buy and maintain. Reliable. Large-capacity document feeder. Cons: Photo prints slow, with inaccurate colors and bronzing on glossy paper. Ink dries slowly.
I bought this product when I was looking for a scanner-copier-printer that also had a document feeder. I wanted the feeder in order to scan stacks of pages automatically. Unfortunately, Canon, Epson, and HP don't put document feeders on their cheaper ...
Pros: Good all-round machine. Excels at nothing, but acceptable at everything. Cons: Customer service is an oxymoron at Brother. The firmware was apparently written by Microsoft.
I've been quite happy with the performance of the print/scan/fax/copy features of this machine. It is a bit slow printing on the higher quality settings but it's still faster than the venerable Cannon 4000 it replaced, and is certainly acceptable for ...
Pros: Auto document scanner. Paper tray inside machine. Ink Refillers dream. Fairly good photo printing. Cons: Auto doc paper jams. Doesn't clean the head as often as 210.
(update 9-23-05) Printhead went bad. It likely happened though because of a bad black cartridge from 123inkjets.com which leaked. Which was a first coming from them. Usually have luck with them. At least the person on the phone wasn;t East Indian. ...
Pros: Price, networking, document feeder, Cons: Price of Ink, shuts down completely if out of ink.
I've had this machine for about 6 months now, and I have mixed feelings about it. The scanner is decent, I like the document feeder very much. I don't use the fax part ever, but it's part of the box, not much I can do about that. As a copier it works ...
Pros: Very good multifunctional and network printer at a very good price Cons: Far too frequent cleaning wastes ink. Whole printer stops if just one cartridge half empty.
Very good printer, very happy with it BUT it has a BIG problem with ink cartridges. In theory it should be economical in ink because the Brother 5440 CN has 4 cartridge, black, cyan, magenta and yellow. The problem is that brother was very ...
Pros: Easy to use front panel, prints quickly Cons: Not very sturdy paper tray, has problems with specialty papers
I purchased our Brother MFC-5440CN about one year ago. Overall, I'm happy with the printer. It is easy to use, about average size for a desk-top printer. I love the all-in-one units that offer faxing/printing/copying/scanni
ng
and this one does all of ...
Pros: Great high capacity sheet feed scanner, Large cheap ink tanks, Networkable Cons: High quality photo printing quite slow
I have had this for about 6 months now, with no problems, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. The particular strength of this model against others in the same price range is the sheet feed scanner. It's reliable, has a high capacity, and ...
Every facet of this multi function device works as advertised. A good document feeder, fax function lives up to Brother's reputation as reliable and functional. A good scanner and general printer, and all this for a reasonable price. My last one was ...
Pros: Lots of good features, cheap ink carts. Cons: Two printers in a row died of the same fatal error.
For the money, this all-in-one has a lot of features. The fax has a lot of different options for answering, in case you don't have a dedicated fax line. Print quality is good, and you can get acceptable photo prints. It's not a dedicated photo ...
Pros: Good quality prints,inexpensive cartridges and great customer service . Cons: None to this point
I have been using brother multifunction centers for several years . I have found them to be inexpensive , reliable and to have excellent over the phone customer service . Their staff will guide you through any setup or technical problems that you may ...
Pros: great when it works Cons: Brother customer service IS THE WORST
I bought this printer and it worked great for 6 months. Then, the printer returned an error. I called Brother and they did troubleshooting over the phone. After they could not resolve the error, they told me to take the printer to an authorized repair ...
Pros: Good copy, scan and print functions with excellent support for a full year. Cons: Ink is not the cheapest in the world.
I bought the MFC-5440cn in March of 2006 and have had good results with it, despite heavy use at home with the kids. Several months after I got it (maybe six?) we had a power outage and the printer would not print from one of the computers. We have a ...
Pros: inexpensive Cons: slow, difficult, completely shuts down when low on ink
While shopping for an all in one, this machine seems to compare fairly closely with the others in it's price range. WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU is, even when printing in black and white only, it runs out of color ink. It runs out of ink really fast. AND, ...
Pros: Great paper handling. Cons: Uses color ink if you NEVER print in color. Cheap to buy. Expensive to own.
I bought one and got rid of it. I still own two Brother Laser MFCs, a 9700 at home and a 7020 I carry in the trunk of my car to use in motel rooms. Laser toner is much cheaper than ink cartridges. Brother is far superior to HP in paper handling ...
