- Printer. The printer works really well. Fast, clear output. It has a versatile driver to accommodate different paper types and a manual feed; I like the straight-through paper path, though the switch to allow heavyweight paper and cards and envelopes are located at the back of the printer and require a manual change. With the right settings, the color print quality is almost photographic; there are even profiles--something I didn't expect is this class device. It seems to use toner efficiently. I'm a low-volume user, but the starter cartridges still have plenty of toner remaining. The cost of ownership seems to be reasonable, a big plus over the competition, with OEM cartridges less expensive. I would never use third-party or refilled cartridges.
- Scanner. Great default scans. But, a big disappointment because it has few advanced controls for correcting the scan with only minimal brightness and contrast. I would have preferred a "pro" option that would enable more adjustments, similar to a stand-alone scanner. The scanner can be controlled from the touch-pad or the Brother Scanner driver, or the Marcos scanner driver.
- Copier. Works, as the scanner can be quite good with the defaults. It has features for minimum image correction, reduction, and enlargement, collating, and 2-onto-1 copying. However, the document feeder has crept that places the copied image about 1/8" higher towards the top edge of the copy than the original. For some jobs, this was a problem
- Fax. I've only sent two faxes since I installed them in 9130. I don't have a dedicated phone line for it, so I just plug in the line as needed. I have yet to receive a fax. Set up seemed complicated and I was too lazy to try to configure my answering machine or run a second line. Also, I'm thinking of dropping my land-line, which makes the fax useless. Feature request: a way to scan directly to an internet fax line.
