        Comments about Brother DCP-8085DN Laser Multi-Function Copier with Duplex Printing & Networking:

        I replaced a dying Brother MFC-8860DN multifunction printer that was near its end of life; barring purchasing a costly fuser. We kept the MFC-8860DN as a backup. It made more financial sense to invest in a newer printer sans faxing feature. The choice to purchase a Brother MFC-8085DN was a no brainer. We are mainly a Brothers printer shop because of their durability and affordability to own. The only parts we have ever replaced on any of the Brother printers were the consumables, toner and drum. The MFC-8085DN does a good job at printing, scanning and copying and it is fast. We particularly like the duplex copying and printing capabilities as we are a company that strives to be as green as possible. It was easy to unpack, operate, and configure on the network. I'm very pleased with my purchase and anticipate using it for years.
