This multifunction device is neither especially easy or difficult to use. I takes up a lot of space, but given that it can handle legal sized documents, the only way they could make it more compact would be to make it shorter.
I am very pleased with image quality when scanning and copying. It seems fast and durable enough to serve business users with modest needs. I have experimented with different settings, but the defaults work well. I haven't used its fax features. If you use it with a Mac, don't bother using the included software and drivers; download the updated versions from the Brother website.

Not impressed
Kept wiping out my other printers software. Very hard to set up the scanner. Not near as user friendly as our old multifunction printer.

Comments about Brother MFC-8480DN Multi-Function Monochrome Laser Printer w/Networking & Duplex:
We bought this brother to replace our unreliable HP1522nf. Glad we did. Seems there are a lot of faithful HP owners out there that won't give HP up. If you haven't switched from HP, now's the time!
This brother is much more reliable for PPM and ADF. Our HP1522nf ADF would jam almost every time. Not to mention we would only get about 10 PPM on average. I've heard complaints about software instillation but I guess people can't read and interpret things well. Overall excellent small business add-on.

Comments about Brother MFC-8480DN Multi-Function Monochrome Laser Printer w/Networking & Duplex:
This Brother model is nice and fast, prints directly from a thumb drive port right on the front of the machine if you wish, and does 2-sided copies.When you get the low toner message, just put some black tape on the "window" and you'll get a few hundred more copies before they start to fade. If you don't know that trick, google it.
This copier works great on our network so lots of people can use it and it does an excellent job of scanning and faxing.

This Brother printer is everything I had expected it to be. I do some heavy printing of mortgage documents and it is super fast, super clear, and I don't have to fuss with the paper tray. I am very happy with all aspects of this unit - faxing, scanning, printing. I also got a great price and the fasted delivery ever from B&H Photo. 1st time customer and I'll be back for future needs.

I have over 300 in the field, only had 1 go bad (the rollers). Toner and drum prices are the key to making them a value. We use compatiables. No problems. Very cost effective.

Comments about Brother MFC-8480DN Multi-Function Monochrome Laser Printer w/Networking & Duplex:
This MFP is replacing a color laserjet MFP that was excessively costly to replace toner cartridges and we always had faxing problems, especially receiving. So far, no problems with this MFP in all modes. It was easy to setup and configure.
Impressed with the print/copy speed and the scanning software.
Only criticism is I have to print checks using the rear output tray because of curling which I did not have to on the previous printer but not a big issue.

Comments about Brother MFC-8480DN Multi-Function Monochrome Laser Printer w/Networking & Duplex:
My wife is a public notary and needed a new laser printer. Her mom had a older version of this printer and really liked it so we thought we would give this one a try and so far, we love it! This unit is a serious work horse! She will have to print several 200+ page documents each day and this unit hasn't skipped a beat yet. Its a little big but thats kinda expected for a printer/scanner/fax machine that can do all this. The only problem that we have run into was with the software that allows you to put from the main tray and the optional lower tray not working fully with our Mac. Simple fix though by installing Boot Camp or any kind of Virtual PC software.
