Built-In Limitations Make It Less Useful
It does all that is advertised - copies, scans, prints. The problem is it does not do any of them edge-to-edge (full sheet).
For scanning and copying, this cuts off approximately 3/16" at the top and bottom of a page, and 1/8" on the left and right sides (letter or legal size originals).
Printing has a similar limitation, which is more normal.
For comparison, an HP color inkjet all-in-one (a similar "value- priced" unit) does full-page scans and output and I am told that is true of their laser-based all-in-one printers as well. Color scanning is more capable on the HP as well.

Great Printer for the Money
Great copies. Works very well with the Paper Port program that is included. Great printer. Easy to set up. Somewhat regretful that I misread the name of the printer. It said it was a Laser All-In-One and I assumed that it had a fax as most all-in-ones do. I work from home and it does almost everything I need, but I really needed a fax too. Duplex copies and prints are easy to use and will save me a lot of paper.

Generally okay, but some flaws
I replaced an aging MFC-8065DN with this model. While the cheaper price always means a trade-off, my complaints don't seem cost-related. The printed page storage area is too small. It's hard to get your hand in the narrow opening. The manual feed slot opening cover should extend out from the unit to support the paper, not leave it hanging over. The manual feed cover also doesn't open far enough making it a bit more difficult to insert a page in the opening. Also, the paper edge slider for the manual feed doesn't always properly secure the page, which results in an off-center print. Also, the manual feed is one sheet at a time. If more than one sheet is inserted, all get pulled through the manual feed.

Excellent Quality/Low Price
My 2nd Brothers printer. Bought it because the other worked flawlessly in a home office environment for many years. It is so much more economical than an ink jet, prints quickly, scans and copies. I need to send something - scan it and e-mail it our (or save important papers electronically in a folder I know will not get lost). I do have another printer, an ink jet, but that is used ONLY for printing pictures.
Costs have come down, so this printer actually has more versatility and cost significantly less than the one it replaced. I did a comparison with other brands and keep coming back to Brothers.
