Do the MFC-7460DN and MFC-7860DW printers allow documents to be put on glass plate for copying? what is difference between these 2?
392120
The basic difference between the two is that the 7460 is for ethernet(hard wired) and the 7860 is wireless. Both allow documents to be copied from the glass or with the auto feed. The 7460 is a great buy for an office set up where several computers are on a local network. Both scan either with document feed or from the glass. Both are monochrome laser printers.

Robert, I do own this printer, there are a few things I can tell you. First Suzanne is giving you incorrect info. The printer has both Wi-Fi capability for Wi-Fi devices and standard USB to printer cable for non Wi-Fi devices such as desktops. It does not have a network card, you must have router/modem combination through a service provider because the printer connects to internet with only a Ethernet cable. Once connected to a router via Ethernet cable you can choose to use the Wi-Fi or USB option, or both. I assume by network card that you mean internet through a removable card like that for a laptop, again it does not have that. I am confused by your copy question about glass and copy feeder. It will do double sided printing automatically if you would like it to do so. If you are looking to copy documents you will have to use a scanner and incorporate that scanner with a computer to make copies of documents that are not already stored digitally(hence email, thumb drive, SD card etc.). hope this helps.

As far as printing directly onto CD/DVD's, with the MFCJ825DW, it's a snap to do. You need the NewSoft CD Labeler software which is available on the CD that comes in the software package provided with the printer. (There might be a small upgrade available, also, from the software company. Use Google search). You also need the proper kind of disks for the printing. I am using the Verbatim disks that are called Inkjet Printable White, Hub Printable. They work great! The cd's will cost you about $0.36 each (50-pack) and the DVD's will cost you a bit more (bought thru Amazon). The cost of ink is extra, and dependent on your design (leave as much white space as you can). There is a lot of simple power in this printing software, especially using the "import" feature. You can import all kinds of images, backgrounds, etc., with a little of playing use Google "Images" or photos, etc. If you want to reach me, pfournier1@gmail.com

Yes, I've printed using both Windows 7 and Windows 8. It's been dependable. John

It depends on your printer. With some printers, the generic driver that Windows installs will be fine. In many cases, however, you will need to install the manufacturer's print drivers, which usually provide more options, and are generally better. In almost all cases, these are found on the manufacturer's website.

The HL2280DW has copy and scan capabilities, which were additional features that I needed in a printer. If the copy/scan features were not desired then I would have purchased the HL2270DW. These two printers appear to be the same with exception of the copy/scan features. I don't know of any real advantages of purchasing one over the other. It's all about the features that one requires in a printer.

Couldn't tell you as I have windows 7. It has NEVER let me down. The scanner is still flawless & this thing prints like a champ. It's slow. But that's the ONLY down side. It prints on one side only.

It has duplex printing (as long as you set the print properties for that) and it's supposed to have duplex copying, but I've never used that feature.

Sorry, I have no idea. You may need to research the MFC450DW that should give you more info.

I used to have a DCP7060D but I returned it pretty quick and chose a DC7065DN instead. These two printers are pretty similar, but there are 3 (big) advantages going with 7065DN: 1. Network capabilities (simply plug it in your home router and voila, you have a network printer for whole your household) 2. Multi-page scan/copy capability (with 7060D you have to feed one by one the pages you want to copy) 3. Slightly faster than 7060

Your best bet is to buy a Brother MFC7860DW. I pushed my HP printer off a cliff a while ago...Never again.

According to the Brother.com (http://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/accessorylist.aspx?Model=MFC8710DW#.VBIvh5J0yFk) website, the DR720 is an official replacement accessory for their MFC8710DW. However, for it to be a GENUINE Brother replacement accessory, it must be manufactured by Brother and not a "pirated copy". It is reputed (by Brother) to make copies of 30,000 pages.

The glass is letter size. It will print 11 by 17 but not copy or scan 11 x 17.

I had no problem loading my Brother MPC-7860dw printer on my computer using Windows XP. Simply follow the instructions on the instalation disk. I also use a Verizon wireless modem and no problems! Good luck!

No they are not interchangeable. The MFC-8860DN takes either a TN550 or a TN580 and the MFC-8910DW takes either a TN720 or TN750. The TN580 and TN750 are the High Yield toner cartridges. In the case of the MFC-8910DW you will get about 8000 pages with a high yield cartridge and about 3000 pages with the standard cartridge.
