Copies up to legal size can be made from both the glass and the automatic document feeder. Print and copy speeds up to 21 pages per minute keep up with busy offices, while outstanding resolution of up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi gives each document exceptional legibility.

Choose the document feeder or the flatbed.
As a full-function stand-alone fax machine, the MFC-8460N supports up to 340 total speed dial locations, and also incorporates dual access and broadcast faxing features. It stores up to 600 pages for Quick Scan faxing or out-of-paper fax reception. Stand-alone fax and copy operation is standard, so no computer is required.

When operating as a scanner, the unit is capable of color scanning up to 9,600 dpi interpolated resolution (up to 600 x 2,400 dpi optical). For Windows and OS X 10.2.4 or greater based users, there is an easy-to-use "scan to" button for scanning directly to an FTP site, image application, OCR, E-mail application or file. Save time and reduce errors with instant direct access through your network connected MFC-8460N to a virtually infinite number of e-mail and fax addresses stored in your LDAP network address books. Simply use the large, clear 5-line LCD display on the MFC-8460N's control panel to view the contacts stored in your network address books and scroll to select the address you need. Then you can quickly send faxes and Internet faxes to your selection, and perform scan-to-e-mail-address functions.

The MFC-8460N provides the ability for an administrator to set various levels of password protected access to certain features, for each of up to 25 different users per machine. Through this feature, you can restrict specific employees such as part-time workers or interns from access to scan-to-e-mail functions or other avenues for sending data outside your walls.

The color scanner function comes bundled with document management and OCR software. ScanSoft PaperPort SE with OCR software is available for Windows and Presto! Page Manager is available for Mac users. The MFC-8860DN is also supplied with built-in wired Ethernet networking. The unit is compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems (Windows 98/NT4.0/2000/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 9.1-9.2, OS X 10.2.4 or greater). Standard emulations of PCL6 and BR-Script3 (PostScript3) are included as well. Brother provides a one-year warranty, covering parts and service.

Summary: Drop Shorted 2010-08-23
Comment: I really like the product however this item was drop shipped from TECH For Less LLC out of Colorado Springs Colorado. The problem I have is that they shorted me out of the Installation Disc for PC and the toner cartidge. After 2 attempts I have not heard back from them. Im hoping Amazon will help me procure the missing items out of this refurbished package.

Summary: Curling pages and will not pick up paper 2010-02-24
Comment: I absolutely hate this printer. I set it up and it worked fine. I have had it for 6 months. About once every 2 or 3 weeks this machine suddenly reads "No Paper" though there is paper in it and it is not jammed. There is a plastic clicking sound about 6 times in a row then the red light. If I power it down, then back up, stick my hand in the tray and scream curse words it might start working eventually. So far the shaking the printer, turning it off, sticking my hand in the tray and clicking things around while screaming expletives has worked, but yesterday it stopped working and none of this seems to help.

Not enough of a problem for you? It curls the pages as I print them so that any document more than 4 pages long gets jammed if you do not pull the pages out and babysit it.

Grossly overpriced for such a crappy mess. I'm uninstalling this and putting my HP printer back. BROTHER SUCKS!

Summary: Great printer/scanner for a small office 2009-11-30
Comment: We use this in our home office. It replaced a print-only device so both of us could scan documents (we scan everything and discard the paper). The network scanning feature is excellent, allowing anyone in the office to scan over the network. Print quality is good, no jam issues. Others mentioned issues with envelopes, but I've never had a single problem. This is a very quiet machine, and unlike many other laser printers, doesn't stink up the room.

Summary: Good machine, with a few specific kinks. 2009-03-26
Comment: Our office uses this printer/scanner for office work. As a small office, it works well for us. PROS: The printer and scanner work very fast. The machine is quiet and the print quality is clean and clear. The fax quality is as good as any, on the receiving end. Don't know how it is for faxes we send. CONS: The printer was not terribly expensive, but the replacement drum is $200, which is a hefty amount. We use this printer to print addresses and stamps on legal envelopes. It is a front feed but, instead of shooting the envelopes out the back of the printer, they coil back over and come back out the front. We have had trouble with this wrinkling the envelopes. The manual tells how to change a setting on the feed to avoid this problem, but this involves turning the printer all the way around and flipping two small levers. The machine is bulky enough that it isn't worth the trouble. We've resorted to printing our envelopes on another machine. Another issue is the scan quality, which is not very clear. Overall, it is a good, high quality machine with a few kinks.

Summary: great machine 2009-03-26
Comment: I have a home based company where I print & scan mostly. I purchased this machine after going thru 3....yes 3 HP multi function units and have never been happier. I dont print with evelopes so I dont know how that works but I have had this machine since March of 2006 and have had no problems until now. I had an error code to replace the paper feeder tray which I did at $[...]....no big deal. Then shortly after that I get a new error code that says replace fuser. Well the fuser is expensive...about $[...] bucks! So it is in my best interest to just get a new machine. I will buy another one just like this one and keep it in it's box until mine quits. I print and scan probablly at least 1000 pages per day so this unit has really stood up to my abuse. I must say I wish the toner was cheaper. I usually buy the high yeild toner which runs me about $[...] per month. Great machine for the money and I would recommend it. Oh, one more thing, I occasionally use it to scan color photos and the scanner works great for that. The pics look great. Probably not what you would use if you scanned pics for a living but for the occasional email or online post, it's great.
