Like others I had display contrast issues, but it really is easy to adjust so don't let that stop you from buying this printer. It is great for everyday printing, it is very good quality. The copy function has come in handy many times, but if you want to fax multiple page documents, look for a machine with ADF (automatic document feeder) function. Otherwise you will have lay a page flat, scan it, put in another, etc. In other words you have to have the time to sit and baby sit it, you can't just load it and walk away. Also if you do a lot of heavy printing daily, be prepared to replace the ink OFTEN for a hefty price. Approximately $25 per color, there are 4 cartridges. And if your ink is low, it will not LET you print until you put more in it. Even if it is just the Yellow that is low and you want to print black and white. The cost is reasonable for the unit itself. If you want to use multiple paper types, forget it. I wanted to print on envelopes and labels. Envelops always jam, and it is a real pain to clear it out and start over. I wanted to print on half sheet labels, they jam about 50% of the time. Also if you put too much paper in, it will jam. It is not easy to load 4x6 photo paper to print photos, but if you can get it in there, it does print photos nicely. Last but not least, you definitely want to wait several minutes for ink to dry before handling, otherwise you will smudge and smear your printouts.Read full review
We purchased the Brother MFC-210C due to a promotion at Staples. As we were in the market for an all-in-one it seemed like fate that this item was reasonably priced and could perform all the functions we need to succeed on eBay! The printer is okay for moderate every day ultra small or single person office use. You must use a relatively heavy paper weight or the paper will jam. If a jam does occur you must open the scanning tray, and attempt to reach the paper through a very small opening. If the paper is too heavy the machine will not pull the sheet in and you must "help" it in. Be sure to have your page sit for a few seconds to dry. The fax function is best if the faxes being sent are kept to a maximum of 5 pages. In order to fax, you must place each page on the scanning screen, have the page scanned and then tell the machine if there is an additional page or if it is the end of the fax. We have tried to use the photo capture/scanning function to no avail. It has been 3 months and we still can not get it to work. Oh well! We have also not tried the photo printing function. As others have pointed out, it is relatively hard to view the LCD screen unless the contrast is very light and you are a certain angle. In closing, I would probably pass on this machine if you need it any sort of an office function.Read full review
Basic printing and scanning work easily, however, it drinks ink like water. With some documentation in book form and other portions on CD, its a bit of a pain to do the set up. So far, it has worked well, but I don't print much either. It is already needing ink though. It is cheap to buy but expensive to maintain. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably spend more on an HP printer and not have to be concerned with refills for a long time.
+This is a hard working printer, - good for at home when speed is not a factor. +I like the cost of ink with this printer. (also easy to refill) + the fact that it has 4 separate colors, so you can replace only the color you want. -beware on used printers, the lines for the ink can become unusable if they are allowed to dry out. 1. if the ink was not replaced when used up. 2. if cartridge is taken out for a period of time. 3. or if used as just a fax, the color can sit to long and dosen't always work, and may not be fixable. +However the owner can test by copying a colored page. without hooking up the printer. -It does an excellent job on pictures, and graphics with good color. I would and did buy it again.
Decided to give this little guy a five star rating 'cuse the competition just can't catch-up! All complaints I've read are 100% unfounded due to lack of orientation with product manual. It's an inkjet, for crying out loud! Yes, it consumes ink like a hippo on weed. Nonetheless, thank God for quality ebay retailers with multiple ink cartridge packages for the price of one cartridge at retail. Last 12 pack I bought on ebay lasted a year with moderate printing. Reds are faded, but it still rocks for a small business and 2 kids at home. No problems of any of the ones previously described by spoiled users. Pros: ALLLLLL Cons: No USB cable included. Big deal. Sue me for loving Brother products. Have had 3 in 10 years; all 3 work beautifully. Just make sure warranty is included and use a surge protector. ChiaoRead full review
