What You Should Know about the Brother MFC-9440CN

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.

Duration of ownership: 4 Months

Strengths: Ease of use. Plenty of features.

Weaknesses: Very slow to warm up at start-up and to print a first page or single page. Mangles envelopes. Black and color are light even when adjustments are set for highest quality.

Overall Evaluation: I wish I had believed other reviews that mentioned the envelope issue. How can one manage a small office without the ability to print an envelope? Thankfully I kept the old HPLaser Jet which has been a tremendous workhorse for years but running up and down stairs for a single envelope is more than irritating.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Very nice prints. Easy to operate. Scanned images of great quality. Built-in fax and PC Fax are straightforward.

Weaknesses: No auto duplex. Heavy and comes with a very big box. I heard the toners and drums are very expensive.

Overall Evaluation: I've problem installing the scanner driver. Finally got it worked after three tries and reboots. I discovered I have to use Brother TWAIN, not MS windows. Otherwise, the setup is a breeze. The color prints from FINE mode with regular paper is only about 20% better resolution than the STANDARD (NORMAL)mode. I expected more. Anyway, the normal mode is quite decent and I think I can settle with this. I've not tried using photo paper for photo prints. Some mention the quality is much better using color inkjet.
