Strengths: Screen allows you to configure just about anything. Duplex is a biggie, also allows to to print in booklet form. extra 50 sheet tray is very handy. lots of connectivity, fast with wireless.
Weaknesses: Wish it had another paper tray. Screen smaller than I thought, but serves its purpose. Wish the toner could come out without removing the entire assembly. Duplex runs at about 15ppm.
Summary: Really nice printer. IF you do the calculations for prints per page, its really an cheap printer to maintain. The printouts are great even with toner save. The printer is fast as promised and the 32mb means you can run it on a big network. Its cool how brother has an additional 50 sheet tray that lets you put envelopes, cards, etc... just wish the tray would hold paper when closed, but it doesn't. You get about 6 buttons including up, down, left, and right arrows, print cancel, print pause, and a reprint function that lets you reprint the last printout. I bought this printer mainly for the duplex feature but I was a little dissapointed in the duplex speeds. Brother told me I would get the same speeds, but that is a lie. You get about 15-16ppm.. trust me!, I timed it. If you think about it, this printer is a very low price considering the features. This can easily stand up to HP's costing almost twice the price. Remember this! When you buy an HP printer, you are buying mainly the name. Yes... They've made a name for themselves. But know that brother has very products which can stand up to HP's anyday. Anyways, I just want to sum up saying that it is a nice printer. I had a hard time choosing this or the Brother "DN' with the two trays, but I chose this since the wireless and lcd screen might come in handy. Good luck and happy shopping.

Weaknesses: Network setup is a little difficult, cost of cartridges
Summary: This is my first laser jet printer and i have to say that I am glad I made the purchase. This printer is able to print much faster than may ink jet printer and looks much better also. The only problem I had with this printer was the amount of time it took to setup the wireless printing. Many people have commented on this but if you simply take you time and read the instruction manual wireless setup is actually pretty easy. It just takes some time.
The print quality is amazing and the double sided printing works great. I hated doing manual feeds before but with this its a piece of cake. This printer is compatible with Windows and OS X. The only problem is that with OS X double printing is an option that cannot be selected on the computer. You actually have to set the printer to print double sided in the printers physical menu before you are able to double side printer with OS X.
