Summary: Good little multifunction machine for home office
Review: I bought the DCP 1400 mostly for making copies which it does very well, quickly and easily. It's a nice printer too--it comes online almost immediately and the print quality is very good. Setup was simple. The only drawback is that the initial toner cartridge is just for getting started so it runs out pretty quickly. Overall, it's good for a small office.

Summary: Surprised and Impressed
Review: I have done a great deal of research on the laser multifunction machines, and settled on the Brother DCP-1400. I am very impressed with it so far. It is quiet, prints fast, and the quality is very good. Scanning is also a breeze.After reading many reviews about the Brother and HP multifunctions, I concluded that there were two weaknesses that they all share: the included software, and faxing. Well I can tell you that setting this machine up in Windows 98 was very very easy! I also made of couple adjustments that were seamless. If you are considering Brother, I would suggest this unit over the MFC 9700. First, it has a three year warranty and the 9700 is only a year. Second, you dont really need the fax component. I receive faxs on line (free), and then print them out. For sending, this unit has an easy to use scan to email..with a choice of .tiff, .jpg, .pdf etc formats. So scan to email (very fast), and email it to someone. As a bonues, no software fax problems! I have a cheap ($60) fax machine for those rare times when the old fshioned method is the only way. I wish it had a 8.5x14 glass, but you can copy legal through the paper feeder. I also would not use it in high volume environments. But for one at home, its perfect. Overall, its much better than I expected, and Brothers on-line help seems to be pretty good.
