THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions.

Nice all in one box for the price. Have owned this machine since Jan of 2005. Once in a while I get a paper jamb and they can be a real pain to clear the paper. That's the price you pay for cheap. It is a fast machine (18 sec warm up) and does have great print quality. One other aspect I didn't like is draws about 9 watts in sleep mode and 75 in standby. But the real problem is it draws about 11 amp surges every 10 to 15 seconds for about 10 minutes while in standby. When it does this it flickers my flourescent desk lamp until it goes back into sleep mode. This can be annoying. The brother factory has attested to this, but then they don't claim this printer to be energy star compliant. Which it isnt. You might want to find a separate breaker to plug it into.
