Brother MFC 8220 multi fax/copier/printer

These units are absolutely fabulous! Replacing one of my older units that was in use daily for 15+ years. Highly recommend this unit for your every day needs. These are highly reliable and built like tanks.

A real workhorse

We bought it over 12 years ago. Our company ran on a doss program and this was the only printer the store near us had that would run on it. The price was in line. A few weeks ago an error message came on and we had two other printers in the storeroom, so we pressed one of them into service (we are off doss and recycled this one.

Great features...... Faxing,Scanning and Printing

It's great for small office space. I personally enjoy the fact that I have it on my desktop and everything is so accessible with just a push of a button.

Scan function doesn't work

Excellent for faxing, printing & copying. The feeder is quick & programming is easy. Cannot get the scan feature to work (scans each individual page into a seperate file - even a 1.75 hour call to Brother Help wasn't able to get it to work.

Workhorse for 12 years

I have had the Brother MFC-82220 for 12 years and it has been a great workhorse. Very reliable and produces good quality copies. Copies, faxes and scans. I have had no problems with the printer - it just keeps running!

Brother 3 in 1

I run a dental office requiring at least 6-10 faxes a day. This machine pauses after each page printed and the delay is frustrating and results in a lot of wasted time waiting for the next few pages. Even though its only a few weeks old, I'm considering replacing it. I'll stick with Brother, just not this model.

Very reliable, Quiet,Easy Installation

I bought this printer about 12 years ago and it was a workhorse...I was surprised that I can still buy one... the old one finally gave up the ghost and I was bound and determined to get another one and I did... best printer I ever bought most reliable too... keep this one on the market.

MFC- 8220

I think that this machine is way too complicated. In my job, I need to scan documents and attach them to emails. Unfortunately, this has become a big problem since getting this MFC-8220. There is not an option to save files as a PDF. So far, most of the people that I've sent attachments to can't open them because they are not saved in the right format???

Highly reliable

I bought this laser printer 7 years ago. I am not a heavy user, but it's easy to set up, and very reliable. I have never had to call tech support, really. Paper jams happen rarely and are easy to clear.

Brother MFC 8220

The Brother MFC 8220 is an excellent printer. I've used this printer for a number of years in my tax business. I now use it in my bookkeeping business. If it ever wears out, I'll buy the same model if it is still available. I think it is the best office machine for a small business I have ever seen. I've used brother products since 1995.

Faxing

You have to be very careful when you fax the paper ,if it is not square with the feeder it will jam and tear the paper and clean the rollers with Goof-Off so that is will pick up each page evenly ,They can get coated with toner which will make them slippery Out side of that it is a good 5-1

Low cost work horse

Great home/small business machine. We print about a case a month (5000 sheets and have never had a problem. Recommend purchasing the high capacity toner cartridge they seem to last forever.

What a workhorse

I have owned this all in one machine for over 5 years. It has never missed a beat. The quality of print, scanned items and fax resolution is great. I would say that it is also economical with respect to toner usage. I probably print about 100 pages per day. The version I have is not network capable, and it is not wireless, but my home network seems to be an okay work around. If I had a couple of wishes, I would wish that it were wireless and also wish that it opened up as a flatbed scanner (my work around is to tape to a sheet of paper and feed it through). This has been the best office purchase I have ever made.

I received a new laptop and had to down load the latest software but had problems installing. I called for technical support and was still not able to resolve the problem. So I kept working on it myself and eventually got the printer working. All is well.

MFC8220

I have been using Brother Multi-Function products for over 20 years. They have worked beyond my expectations and I have had the MFC-8220 and similar Brother products for 20 years and have upgraded the similar Brother All-In-One-Multi-Function as needed. I cannot rocommend highly enough.

Reliable

Had this unit for 5 years and it still keeps producing reliable copies. The fax function works well and the scan function connects to my computer without a hitch. I print about 300 pages a month, fax about 30 or 40 pages, and scan about 15 documents. For medium duty use it has been the most reliable machine I have owned.
