Brother MFC-240C Printer Reviews

I love my Brother printer and have had it for over a year now without any difficulties, but recently I had a problem with it and the "timing" is off now.  It jams all the time.  When I call around to see if someone can fix it, all I hear is "printers are so cheap these days that your better off buying a new one"  The problem is that I love THIS one, plus, other people may thing $100 is cheap, but I personally don't.  To me that is a lot of money!!!  Why can't they be easier to get fixed?

The print quality is great and the paper feed always worked wonderfully until this problem.  It is very...

Brother MFC-240C Printer - this has happened to me numerous times. I hate the printer. It will just simply stop working. No warning. Today I am sitting here, once again, trying to print a simple little document, and it will not print. Why? Because it's out of ink. If that wasn't bad enough.. like, I would expect it to continue to at least TRY to print it, even if it was a reduced quality, or a lesser darkness.. but no, it just simply stops.The worst part tho, is that I am trying to print in just 'black'.. on here it has to be 'grayscale only'.. and even though I have black ink, it will not print....

The Brother MFC 240C is a good printer, but has several short comings. First, the document feeder only holds about 10 documents. The copy mode has only been able to do one copy at a time even though a number of copies was selected.

The good part is that it offers very crisp resolution in near laser quality letters. I have noticed that pictures have a good resolution. The printing is relatively quick.

I was looking online for an all in one printer for under $100.  Whent to Office Depot and was lucky to find this one for $99 plus a $30 mail in rebate.  Great deal! 

The set-up was very easy, too aprox. 15 min. and I was ready to print.  The automatic paperloader from the top (just like an office copy machine) is very handy for quick paper loading, but the paper tray that holds up to 100 sheets if very nice for everyday use. 

Faxing is very easy and I can use my home phone number as my fax number to send or to receive.

Scan and print quality are very good.

It's also nice that each color comes...
