Its not easy to find a low cost A3 printer/scanner but this Brother device is a bargain and more so when you get a factory refurbished one. I bought this for our Local History group for doing work on documenting and cataloguing our collection and it is great. It has wireless connectivity to the PCs and the software seems pretty simple and reliable which is more than I can say for the HP devices that I've had experience with. It can also operate as a fax device if you need it, but we don't. Although we haven't had it for long it has worked well so far and I've every expectation it will continue to perform well. If you want A3 scanning or printing go for it.
Overall I am really happy with the printer. I have mainly used it to print A3 photos, it produces a high quality picture. The scan function is very good, there are many different options, you can scan straight to a file or email etc. The only issues I have come across so far are that I cannot get the fax function to work with Windows XP, but I did read this else where before I bought the machine. I am yet to work out how to scan in A3, I have tried the set up process as directed but again this could be linked to the incompatibility with XP. It drags in extra sheets of paper when printing at times, which can be annoying. However I am still really happy with my purchase.
Very good value and top printer and A3 scanner you just cant get better for the money. But I must say that you have a bit of a problem with the scanner as you are better off phoning Brother to set up your margines on the scanner and also as it is a ex display the ser # is different and you cannot reg on line you will have to phone apart from that for the money it is top marks. And if you do what I have done and put a CISS ink system on it you can save a ton on inks and you can buy both inks and CISS systems on ebay for a good price for the printer or city ink express.co.uk
The price of this item (from the supplier I bought it from) was excellent value for money. Replacement cartridges are very inexpensive unlike most other AIO printers and can be obtained easily via ebay. Also extremely easy to install and use, particularly for photographs. Add to this the fact that this is an A3 printer and you have an all round, inexpensive, commercial-standard, domestic printer.
I bought the above product due to the fact I already had two other Brother printers and was satisfied with them. I required to upgrade my home printer to A3 and my office printer was an MFC-6490CW, therefore (as a bonus) only one set of replacement ink cartridges are required. I am very happy with the product and the ebay experience, no problems whatsoever. Mike
