Will I be able to scan to a server? The last Brother (MFC8710DW) that I bought was unable to do this.

Don't know. But if it can scan to a computer, why not? If not, feed to a computer on the server network.

I havent figured out how to scan .. I assume there has to be some programming between it and my laptop ... So only use it for printing and copying. Any advice?

I had no problem loading my Brother MPC-7860dw printer on my computer using Windows XP. Simply follow the instructions on the instalation disk. I also use a Verizon wireless modem and no problems! Good luck!

There are 2 ways. Use the software that came with the printer. Just press the scan button on the printer.

Whenever I have tried to use that feature, the printer begins to communicate with the PC and I am given the option of selecting the type of scan, and I chose for example "file;" the printer gives me a message "sending to PC," but then nothing happens and the operation stops. So I am not sure if I am doing the procedure correctly or there is a problem with the function on my printer or PC. I intend to contact directly Brother to get an answer because I rarely need to use this reverse function, but it would be helpful to know in the future, if I might require it. Sorry, I don't have an answer right now and would suggest contacting Brother as I intend to do.

not many...i hated that scanner. Check out the Brother Image Center ADS 2000. It works well and can do multiple pages.

USB - yes, the setup instructions show you how to connect the cable. Scan to computer - yes ... I believe that there is a brother scan utility however I use Irfanview, my favorite (free) graphics app to pull scans from our machine.

Your best bet is to buy a Brother MFC7860DW. I pushed my HP printer off a cliff a while ago...Never again.

I'm pretty sure the Hl2270DW does not have a scanner built into the printer. Also I believe This printer may print a few more pages per minute.... don't quote me on that last part. Also this printer can be networked to you LAN.

Probably, but I would not recommend. This model is very demanding about paper and source settings, and multiple users would trip constantly over that problem. In addition., you could probably not scan to software effectively.

Are you sure you've got the right name? I only see MFC7860DW (not MFP). At any rate. Go to the Brother Supplies page, enter your printer, and find out.http://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/

Moti - I've had a firmware problem with a new Brother MFC-J450DW I bought at the end of 2014. I've tried third party inks without success - the printer doesn't recognize them.

When scanning are you running it through the document feeder or scanning from the glass? As regards scanning to other PCs are the units you are trying to scan to all connected via a network?

I believe you can set it up to scan to the PC over the network. I haven't gotten that working though. What I do is to just scan to a thumb drive and then pull the image from the thumb drive onto whatever PC I need the scan on.

It couldnt work as a print server if it is a native. But you can install linux instead of native. Then you can construct print server

I bought a Brother SE-400 and the PE-design Plus, both have worked perfectly with my Windows 8.1 and 64 bit, the software was also designed to work with Windows 7, you will be fine
