Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Remanufactured MFC-8820DN from Brother is an all-in-one solution to your small business or home office needs. With printing, faxing, scanning, and copying functions combined into one machine, the MFC-8820DN helps economize both desktop space and cost.

A 600 x 2,400 dpi maximum optical scan resolution (up to 9,600 x 9,600 dpi enhanced) combines with a 48-bit color depth to provide detailed, true-to-life images, while a 2,400 x 600 dpi maximum print resolution delivers photo-quality pictures and sharp, easily readable text. Print speeds are as fast as 17 ppm.

Automatic duplex printing provides two-sided copies and prints. The standard input paper tray holds up to 250 sheets of standard paper, while the multipurpose tray holds up to 50 sheets.

The scanning surface accommodates originals up to legal size (8.5 by 14 inches), while the one touch scan-to-file, scan-to-e-mail, scan-to-image, and scan-to-OCR buttons help streamline frequently used tasks. A 50-sheet automatic document feeder is provided to automate scanning or copying larger documents.

A 32 MB fax memory stores up to 600 pages. The Fax broadcasting feature can send faxes to as many as 390 locations.

The software bundle helps you get the most out of your scans. Titles include a variety of image viewing and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software--ScanSoft PaperPort (for Windows only), Presto! PageManager (for Mac only), TextBridge (for Windows only), and Presto! PageManager (for Mac only).

PC and Mac compatible, the MFC-8820DN connects to the host computer via its USB, Ethernet, or parallel port interface. It has a footprint of 17.8 by 21.3 inches and also comes backed with Brother's one-year limited express exchange warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars wish bought it earlier, August 7, 2005

This review is from: Remanufactured Brother EMFC-8820DN Network Multifunction Center (Office Product)
This is for my wife's architecture home office. She is not a computer savvy and has been using MAC for 10 years. She has been praising this device since day one.

It took me 20 minutes from unpacking to printing the first page via LAN connection without reading the manual. We have 2 WindowsXP systems networked at home.

FAX/COPY/SCAN are fast. PRINT is a breeze and double-sided feature is just amazing. It replaces one printer, one scaner, and one fax machine. In addition, it is a copier that we've always wanted.

We wish we bought this earlier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Item at a great price!, August 15, 2005
This review is from: Remanufactured Brother EMFC-8820DN Network Multifunction Center (Office Product)
The multi-function printer/scanner/copier/fax was easy to setup hardware-wise.

The printer drivers had to be installed with the CD's setup program which was a little annoying. I would have preferred just setting the IP address manually (which I did) and simply configuring a new IP port on the workstation to print to it. I think they were trying to make the process as "user-friendly" as possible. In diagnosing my problems I saw that the network card had a red light, which usually indicates a problem so I spent some time on this. Eventually found out that the light is always red and all I needed to do was use the setup program on the CD. They should allow the more advanced user to set it up manually as with any other network printer. I suspect this problem and the red light on the network card were the reasons the printer was returned/refurbished in the first place.

Printing and copying are quick and the output looks crisp enough. Duplexing worked as described, which is one of the main reasons I chose this model.

Have not printed any pictures or graphics but I have a color inkjet for those purposes. Have not tested its scanning capabilities either. Eager to confirm how well it can scan in color.

Faxing was a breeze - receiving and sending. Now, if I can figure out how to have it hooked up while the answering machine is connected...! Both want to answer after the 4th ring but even if I set them up to answer on different rings, how can I avoid having the fax machine sqawk in the caller's ear or have the answering machine respond to a fax machine?

The only real objection I have, and I was aware of this before I bought it, is its design. I'm not crazy about how the scanning/copying bed bulges out at the sides. Even if this was to keep the foot-print size to a minimum (to the size of the paper tray) the bulges still take up desk space and no one is fooled.

The Brother EMFC-8820DN is a perfect machine at a great price (once my rebate arrives). The only detraction is the design but hey, it's for the home office so I'm willing to overlook it.

Overall a good setup. Toner lasts a long time, easy to use, etc. The only frustration I've had is the fax-to-pc part... cannot get it working - and I'm a computer person by trade.
