Also, there is a separate "drum" unit that has to be replaced. Not as often as the toner units, but it's a separate unit into which the toner units fit.
Generic toner units (TN830XL high yield / 3000 pages) with a chip are $35-45 for two -- so it's less than a penny per page to print.
The drum units, DR830, are $20-35 and last for about 15,000 pages -- sometimes longer, and the printer will alert you when it needs to be replaced.
Some prefer to buy bundled toner and drum units and replace them both at once. More expensive and wasteful, but less chance of printing issues.
These are workhorses and last a long time.
They have WiFi, Ethernet, and USB ports (USB is most reliable IMO and uses no power in deep sleep mode. Both Ethernet and especially WiFi use power in sleep or deep sleep mode).
The Brother scanner software is crap and buggy. Just use a different and better scanner software.
NAPS2 (Not Another PDF Scanner 2) is a free, open-source document scanning software for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It allows users to quickly scan documents and save them as PDFs, images (JPEG, PNG), or TIFFs. It features built-in OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to create searchable PDFs.
Note: no fax on this model if that matters.
