Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Generally OK (but... ) Comment: After five months this has proven to be reliable - including the duplex option (which I've used plenty of times and had no misfeeds). However the collection tray for printed pages can't cope with paper curl (caused by the heating unit) so after about a dozen pages it pushes everything on the floor. This is a real problem if you're printing multi-page documents that you want to stay collated! Some papers are worse than others - but different brands of `cheapo' 80 gsm white have proven to be consistently problematical. Higher-price papers curl less so are usually OK. Apart from that only one grumble and that is the printers are shipped with a 'sample size' toner cartridge which is rated at 2000 copies (but packed up after 1500 for me!). Worse still the printer decides when the toner pack is dead and then refuses to print - not like the good old days when you could give the toner pack a shake and get a few hundred extra copies out. Unless you only intend to use this occasionally (and who buys a laser unless they want to produce lots of copies??) make sure you also buy the larger ('7000 copies') toner pack (ref TN-3170) straight away otherwise you will find yourself out of toner and with a (temporarily) 'dead' printer much sooner than you would reasonably expect. Customer Rating: Summary: Great laser printer Comment: The small form factor, the duplex unit and the Ethernet interface make this printer very attractive, and it does not disappoint. The print quality is excellent and it is very quiet and quick. The only issue is that it does not print envelops well: no matter which brand I use, the printer always tear them, making them unpresentable. Anyway, apart from that small problem, I would definitely recommend this printer, excellent quality and reasonable price. Customer Rating: Summary: duplex is worth it... shipped from france Comment: 5 STAR PRODUCT:: less a star because not uk product This is an excellent printer. Our offices use it and an earlier model (HL-5150D). Quick and great print quality. What you're paying for over above most laser printers is the duplex unit (prints on both sides of each page). It is wort the extra:: saves paper and takes all the work out of producing small numbers of booklets (using either Brother's interface or documents produced using Publisher). Pixmania ship from France. I haven't had to test their turnaround if a fault develops but it will mean return to base rather than on site :( More Reviews
