Digital camera reviews of Brother MFC-7840W Laser Multifunction Center
Digital camera Review: Brother MFC-7840W
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great multifunction printer. It took me a while before i had the fax machine going but its working ok now. I guess just add a little bit more patience. WiFi function is the best because I was able to connect all 3 of our lap tops plus our PC. I haven't tried scanning photos but I am sure it would be great as well because it works well with documents. Need I say more? Yes the price is unbeatable.

Product does what it says. It is a little slow to start printing, but gets the job done. Faxes fine, color copies are acceptableDigital camera Review: Brother MFC-7840W Laser All-In-One

Purchased the Brother MFC-7840W for $209.99 and well worth the cost. I did not need a color laser printer, so I researched many of the black-and-white multifunction laser printers for my business. I wanted a wireless printer because I did not have the room next to the server to put a printer. Of all the printers I researched, I was stuck between the Samsung SCX-4623FW Wireless and this Brother printer. The Brother MFC-7840W was the only one that advertised 48 bit color scanning. The reviews on the Samsung SCX-4623W were not so great. This printer (Brother) was easy to set up, the connection to the wireless network was simple and quick, the software was easy to install, and I was scanning in minutes. Everything worked without a hitch. I have had the printer for about 1 month now and no issues that I can complain about except one. For some reason, Brother advertises 48 bit color scanning, but when I try to scan through the Brother Control Center or the included Paperport software, it only gives me the choice of 24 bit scanning. I have written Brother tech support about this issue, but they returned my email asking me to call them directly. They are only open M-F 8-5, so I have not had the chance to do that as of this writing. When I do and figure out the true 48 bit scanning, I will re-post my review. But despite this one issue, I can only say good things about this printer thus far. Oh, one other thing - the toner cartridges for the Brother are MUCH less than the Samsung. Another good point!Digital camera Review: Brother MFC-7840W Laser Multi-Function Center with Wireless and Ethernet Network Interfaces

There is a lot of bang for the buck in this product. Nice MFC....great that it's a laser as the cost will be much less for replacement of toner rather than many ink cartridges over the long haul. Would highly recommend.Digital camera Review: Brother MFC-7840W Wireless Multifunction Center

This is a great product for home and small office. I have a Dell laptop with Vista and a Gateway desktop with Windows 7. Both computers and the Brother are networked through my NetGear wireless router. The enclosed drivers and setup CD worked in both computers without incident. The Brother ControlCenter3 software, enclosed in the box, is intuitive and straightforward to use. I was up printing and scanning wirelessly on my first attempt without using anything more than the quick start guide.
I don't use the fax as I don't have a land line, but I keep all my records electronically and do a lot of scanning. There are several setup options for the scanner; mine is set to scan multipage docs into PDF files. I can place a stack of pages into the document handler and it scans them all in to one file.
Since there are no wires except the power cord, I have the Brother placed across the room in a bookshelf instead of jammed in around the desk.
I haven't had to replace the toner yet, but in price checking it is about $40.00 at the usual office supply stores for about 2500 avg pages vs the inkjet cartridges for my other printer, that cost $60.00 and you would be lucky to actually get 200 printed pages. The only negative, I had to change the router's security to 64 bit as the Brother won't take 128 bit key; it's too lengthy.
