5.0 out of 5 stars Easy compact multifunction center, November 11, 2005

I was looking for a high quality fax and stumbled upon Brother's 5 in 1 Laser Multifunction Center. This is a great piece of equipment for anyone to have, even if you are just looking for a good laser printer. The quality is great and it prints very fast. The fax can store up to 400 pages in its memory if you are out of paper, and the images, when faxed, are all scanned into the memory before the fax dials up the number. This makes for an easy, smooth fax that creates no problems.

I have yet to run into a jamming problem with the fax or the printer. The scanning capabilities are great as well, scanning the image exactly as it looks down to the detail, which some scanners are uncapable of doing. Of course it is a large file to copy so perfectly, but that can always be reduced to a more manageable size. The only downside to the scanning capabilities is that it is not a flat bed, so you won't be able to take noncomforming shapes, such as IDs and so on and scan them. But that is a small price to pay for a great scanner.

All in all, the Brother MFC-7220 Laser Multifunction Printer has met all of my expectations and more. Buy it for the printer, which is exceptional, and you will get so much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Check price of toner and drum before purchase, December 6, 2006

As with all printers, it would be a good idea to check the price of consumables before purchasing this printer. This printer (actually this print engine, as it is used in several other Brother models) has a lower cost than some other Brother units, but you will make it up over the life of the printer as you buy higher-priced toner and drum units. The toner and drum units for this printer cost more than those for other Brother models, and don't last as long. Consider your printing needs and spend more upfront if you will be printing a lot.

As long as you expect this going into the purchase of this printer, it is a great unit. It works as advertised, and Brother has very good drivers under Mac OS X. For the money upfront, you can't beat it. For the future cost of consumables, you may be able to find a better model for your needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent multifunction machine, January 31, 2006

I bought an MFC-7220 for my father who wanted to be able to screen incoming faxes on his computer before they were printed out and fax documents from his computer. This does both and more very well.

My impression of some of the features:
Build quality - very good.
Print quality - very good considering the price and variety of functions the machine has.
Ease of use - although the documentation wasn't the best (which seems to be common among Japanese multifunctions), it was relatively easy to set up and figure out how to do everything. Operation is simple. The software that runs the PC sending and receiving is very easy to understand and run.
Size - nice and compact, and controls aren't crowded.

This is the second Brother machine I've bought (the other was a simple laser printer) and I they seem to be really doing things right.
