Brother MFC-465CN

Bad – Overall, I would say this suffers from several design flaw, most notably the inability to print on both sides. I previously owned a Canon MP780, and it did not suffer from any of these flaws (besides the crooked ADF scanning). I could probably live with all of the issues except the lack of duplex printing. I really appreciate autoduplexing (automatically flips the page for you) which I have on the Canon MP780 and Pixma ip5000 (you don't have to stop and think "now which way do a flip the page so the original will print correctly?"... although I think you would probably pay more for this feature, I think it's worth it personally. Generally does not jam, produces high quality prints, does not take up a lot of room on desk (1) Effectively CANNOT do double sided printing in any way. No auto duplexing; I tried to print all odd pages, then reverse them to print evens, BUT when you go to print the evens, it consistently feeds more than one page. (2) The automatic document feeder (ADF) is poorly designed - (a) you have to kind of push the first sheet of paper in then put the other sheets on top or it will feed the first two pages simultaneously. (b) the ADF will feed out originals such that they falls off the right side of the printer. (3) ADF scanning produces slightly crooked JPG/BMP images (had this problem on a Canon MP780 I owned too, so maybe intrinsic to ADF scanning) (4) Cannot scan to a combined PDF file - a 20 page doc will create 20 different JPGs numbered 1-20. (4.5) ADF scanning is slow - inexplicably pauses for about 45 second between scanning one page and the next (5) Always running out of paper, as the paper tray has a low capacity and is a bit hard to get to in order to refill. (6) Gobbles ink (but this is almost an industry standard)
