Excellent choice
Date:September 14, 2011
By CindyG
from Fremont OH
This was an economical choice and a great one! We are a small real estate office. I use the copy and scan features of the machine many times each day. We already have a dedicated fax line to another machine, so do not use this feature. The copies are crisp, quick and the machine is quiet. The scan feature works great. Very satisfied with my purchase.

MFC-8480DN

With the exception of one glaring and very annoying glitch, (it wrinkles envelopes horribly when address are printed on them), this product seems to perform as describe.

Great AIO Printer
Date:January 3, 2013
By LASER01
from East Lansing, MI
The MFC-8480DN performs very well. It was easy to set up and use for the first time. Moreover, the replacement toner cartridge is reasonably priced regardless to the on-line purchase vendor. The printer can handle a heavy work load in that I use it primarily for printing articles from professional journals for use in my work. I haven't quite figured out yet how to prevent envelopes from wrinkling when fed through the printer to print address labels on them nor why the printer loses the time and date when the power is shut off. However, I'm sure I will. Nevertheless, I would recommend this printer to others.

COMPLETELY SATISFIED
Date:December 24, 2012
By JONA
from CUMMING, GA
VERY VERSATILE, YOU CAN PRINT RECIEVE AND SCAN ALL AT THE SAME TIME SO THERE IS NOT "LOST TIME" WAITING FOR EACH FUNCTION TO FINISH. ALSO, THE PRINT QUALITY IS EXCEPTIONAL. THE ONLY OCCASIONS THAT I EXPERIENCE PAPER JAMS IS WHEN I HAVE PERSONALLY FAILED TO LOAD THE PAPER CORRECTLY. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY COPIES I'VE MADE BUT IT'S A LOT. BY THE WAY, I HAVE TWO OF THEM.

Very Happy with Performance
Date:December 24, 2012
By Resource1
from Los Angeles, CA
Well its been about a year with this printer/scanner/copier/fax. I have not used the fax yet, as I have a dedicated fax. The copies are crisp, clear and fast. The scanning has been a dream, especially with the autofeed. It's a little cumbersome to do two side scanning but with some updated software it's been great. I now have two of these machines, and, for the price, I wouldn't be without them.

I have been happy with the product overall.
It does have a squeak in the feed and is noisy.
Good buy for the money

Best All-In-One
Date:December 24, 2012
By FredTheComputerGuy
from San Diego California
This purchase was a replacement for a Brother 8840DN that I had purchased in 2005. That machine was a workhorse. It copied, scanned, faxed and printed. I loved the fact that it used a high-capacity laser toner cartridge which lasted a little over a year based on my output. When it started having ADF problems (paper not feeding properly) I purchased the 8480DN in December 2011 because I could not afford to be without a fax and scanner for more than a day. The ADF was fixed on the 8840 and it worked like a charm so I gave it to my sister to use as their primary printer. I love the 8480 for all the same reasons as the 8840, but it's also faster feeding and printing. It scans beautifully. The software that comes with the printer works great with Windows 7 and XP. Brother was ahead of it's competitors with this design.

Couldn't be happier...

Great machine for the money. Not using separate printers and scanners after buying our first 8480. We are now replacing printers and scanners in all nine of our offices with Brother all in one units.

works for me

I need a black only machine since I do mainly invoices but it also has a scanning color feature in case I need it. Has trouble with the thicker paper stock unless you choose menu 1,2,1,2.
Pleased!

Brother MFC-8480DN
Date:December 24, 2012
By jackknife
from Chicago Area
Overall I have had good service from my Brother printers and whenever I've had to contact tech support my questions and problems where solved right away.
It would be nice to have a better trouble shooting section in the owners manual IE: If you start getting lines on your printed pages,( Drum wearing out), what causes the printer to squeak or squeal sometimes at the start or finish of a print job ??? etc.

Perfect for small business
Date:December 24, 2012
By ruffian
from Seattle
This is the perfect all-in-one for a small business (legal). Installed in less than 5 minutes, fully compatible with the network, and when i purchased a new, Windows 7 64 bit computer, the transition was just as simple. Scan to pdf is now an indispensable aspect of litigation, as almost all Courts are electronic filing, and this machine makes scanning an almost pleasant task.

not too bad

By jango

first of all its a good product, but what I don't like is when faxing it takes a long time, it dials then takes one page at at time, unable to make copies while in the fax mode, our other brother, we could make copies while in the fax mode, also when faxing, it takes "all " pages then dials then fax

Broken down

After only two years, this printer makes a grinding noise when it prints and leaves lines on the page that obscure the text. I am very disappointed.

Prints well and is fairly quiet. Often displays "no paper" when there is paper; no help available from customer support. Very poor job on printing envelopes (mangled). Copies and scans nicely.

Out Performs the Expensive Machines
Date:December 24, 2012
By Truckfacility
from Jersey City NJ
If you have a Medium-Small office and require a Fax/Copier/Scanner this is the machine for you. We run these machines at our locations and they outperform those expensive machines. We just replaced one that was 4 years old. We use nothing but Brother products as they are the most reliable and long lasting MFC on the market.
