Unique Printer
By Reliable7
This is the second Brother multi-function printer I have owned. The old one worked perfectly for several years.

When I found out that Brother was offering this new MF Printer with 11 x 17 output capability I was tempted to buy one because I frequently print/fax/copy floorplan drawings. Then when I found out that it was less than $300 on Amazon I purchased one immediately and gave my old MF Printer to a friend.

I have not been disappointed. It was easy to set up and working in a matter of minutes. The warm up cycle at the beginning of a print job is a little slow, but fairly typical for this type of machine. I haven't found any complaints with it. The ability to print/fax/copy/receive 11 x 17 drawings is awesome.

I fully expected that the downside to this printer would be the cost of the ink cartridges. Wrong again! Replacement Ink cartridges, in both black and color, were relatively cheap and available in XL and XXL capacities.

One last thing. This is not a photo printer. Color printing is sharp and acceptable for most business applications, but don't expect to print photos.

This is a great, inexpensive business printer. I have been using it daily for about 6 weeks without so much as a hiccup. I highly recommed it.

One Very Good Alll-In-One
By Terry Ray Johnson
The 11x17 scanner is the main reason I bought this machine. You just cannot find this platform size for the price. It is fast and the scan quality is very good. The other features life FAX, print and copy and generous paper trays are icing on the cake. 11x17 photos are superb, even when their source is very lo-res. Brother support has been punctual, well trained and have solved my 'operator' trouble immediately...there has been no actual hardware issues. I am Very Satisfied with this product.

Very Nice Printer but Software (MAC 10.7) could be better.
By EDDY KIGGEN
This is the 3rd printer I have since I upgraded to MAC OS 10.7 LION. I had a HP 309 that worked fine with my MAC until I upgraded. Then I bought a KODAK multi-function printer that kept loosing connection with the network. Now I have this Brother MFCJ6910DW.

First the printer:

Machine is build very well. I love the 2 paper trays and the capability to print , scan and copy double sided 11" x 17". Physical setup was easy. I had the printer out of the box and the trays and cartridges installed in under 30 minutes.

Installing software was a different story. I'm a MAC user (LION 10.7). It took 2 installs and about 2 Hrs. to get the printer to "talk" wirelessly over my home network. Then I was able to print. But that's it.

I called Bother Tech Support. They have a special group that addresses MAC problems. Unlike the regular phone support, they have limited operating hours. I think it's 10:00 AM -- 8:00 PM EST. Once I got someone on the phone (Next day) a very nice and knowledgeable employee had the scanner function running in no-time. I can scan from the PC or directly from the printer to the PC. The text recognition is working as well. Installing it all was quite complex. I miss the days that you can plug just about any device into your Macintosh without having to load a driver.........................Hopefully Apple will come with a driver for this printer soon.

I appears to me that the "Scan to network" and "Scan to FTP" functions are not working for MAC LION 10.7. I have also not been able to make the scan to email function work with my Google account. I called the help desk again but the employee that (tried) to help me this time didn't get me anywhere.

I have not used the FAX function at all.

The Brother website could use some improvement. It takes a while to find the correct documentation. Why not have a setup guide for each operating system???? One page that tells you step by step what to do........

Once I have some more "fun" with this machine I will update my review.

UPDATE:

Installed on my 2nd MAC OS 10.7. Went smooth this time. Here are the steps it took.
1) Do not use CD rom (yet)
2) download and install driver form Brother website: [...]
3) Restart your MAC.
4) Add the printer in Systems Preferences, Print and Scan.
5) Printer should now show up in your list.
6) Print a test page to make sure it works.
7) Now download and install the Scan Driver from the Brother website: [...]
8) It should open a window (Device Selector) to setup your computer name to scan to.
9) Check the box "Register your computer........." and give your computer a name to be displayed on the Brother display.
10) You should be able to scan now.
11) Now insert the Brother CD that came with your printer.
12) Open the Brother Support App and download and install Presto Pagemanager. This installs the OCR (Text recognition software)
13) Open the Brother Control Center (there should be a small icon in the top of your screen) and scan a document using OCR
14) Enjoy.
