Digital camera reviews of Brother MFC-3240c All-in-One
Digital camera Review: Do Not Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
Any money you save on the cheap price you will more than make up for paying for ink. I get 5+/- one to two page faxes a week and go through a black ink cartridge every 2 months and have to replace the color catridges every 3-4 months. The machine virtually disables itself if any ink cartridge runs low. You can't even use the scan functions. In addtion the machine forces you to change them when ther is ink clearly visible in the cartridges they are not empty.Digital camera Review: Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy this printer unless you really feel the need to waste money. If I could give it zero stars, I would. I have had this printer for less than a year. If any of the cartridges goes out it will not allow you to print at all. Tonight, I went out and bought replacement cartridges at the sum of $40. Came home and installed them. The printer will only tell me that there are no cartridges installed. Won't even let me use the cleaning utility. I recommend that you think twice before buying any Brother product.Digital camera Review: Good but Ink Eater
Summary: 2 Stars
Works good with all features, but usage of Ink is aweful. I bought it 6 months ago, and printed like 50 pages max, and it ran out of INK. INK is very expensive compared to the actual printer price. Dont buy it.Digital camera Review: Goodwill bound
Summary: 2 Stars
I used this model as a scanner. Mechanically, it was fine and delivered image quality consistent with resolution specs. There is no reason to believe that it would not have worked equally well as a fax machine.
But the driver used to force my OS to crash (XP Professional) and perform a defensive memory dump about once every week or 10 days. I understand that no one is perfect, and tried a couple of times to locate driver updates but there were none available. Unacceptable. If you buy this machine, throw the the driver disk out so it can't interact with your operating system. I really shouldn't have waited this long. Buy one used, at best, obviously.
I switched to an HP Officejet J4550 for feeder-scanner purposes, and have experienced no problems with the driver.
Digital camera Review: Ink Shmink
Summary: 4 Stars
I have bought 4 of these machines (work home etc) and it is a great light duty unit for the price. My only complaint is the paper tray that could be larger and sometimes causes jams. As for the ink...hello! you didn't notice there are no chips on the cartriges.. buy a $20 buck refill kit at Costco and print up a storm for the next year.
