Great value for money printer it is hard to use at first but if u get hang of it it's the best

This is an amazing all in one printing-scanning-copying machine. Offers more than other models like HP. Opted for this as it has an auto feeder, which makes copying/scanning of multiple pages much easy. In the HP machine, you had to insert and scan one page at a time. In this, you just load the pages on the feeder and it does it all automatically. The only downside was the default setup this machine comes with. I would say its very user unfriendly. After spending few hours and browsing through all the forums and international Amazon site, I learnt how to set up this machine for best use. My printer was setup correctly, however on the wireless printing mode, it used to go to sleep mode after a few minutes, and none of my devices were able to detect the printer there after. This was a pain, as I had to eventually go to the machine and restart it to get it out of the sleep mode. Brother needs to fix this as not everyone is good with machines. Anyways, here is what you should do right after installing the software on your PC. EDIT: Before reading through the steps below. Make sure you update the firmware on the printer, as it might automatically solve the iissue. If it doesn't, then go through the steps. Firmware can be updated by downloading the Firmware update tool available here: http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?prod=dcpl2541dw_as&c=as_ot&lang=en Go to the printer , Click on the Menu Button, and pull up "Network" settings using the buttons on the printer. Under that, go to WLAN and click on set up wizard. Use this to connect your printer to the router/wifi. Once you are connected, do the following steps. On your printer, press Menu button and : 1. Go to Network->WLAN->TCP/IP->Boot Method - Change it to Static 2. Go to Network->WLAN->TCP/IP-> APIPA - Change it to turn it OFF/Unchecked. 3. Go to Network->WLAN->TCP/IP-> IPv6 - Turn it ON. After following these steps, your printer will always stay connected to the network. If you don't follow these steps, then your printer will not show up while you try to wirelessly print/scan from your device(after few minutes of turning on the printer). I hope Brother sets up the machine to run these settings by default.

I bought the Brother DCP L2541DW laser printer a few days back. I am really impressed by its performance. This is my first Brother product, and I was really apprehensive to switch brands because I have been a fan of another brand for many years. However, my experience with Brother multifunction printer amazed me. The quality, ease of use and intuitive features are some of the advantages that I have noticed. It has wi-fi, auto duplex printing and many other features. If you own a small business or if you are a home user who has lot of print, scan, photocopy requirements, I would definitely recommend this Brother printer. It is affordable and easy to use. If you are a bit tech savvy, you can set it up yourself.

YOU HAVE TO BUY A NEW TONER, EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO REFILL YOUR INK. I have been using this printer from the past 10 months and yes now i have got to know the reality of brother printers. The biggest drawback is that you cannot refill the toner of this printer, you have to buy another new toner from brother (Third Party Toners NOT ALLOWED) and if you refill the toner or buy a 3rd party toner the warranty gets void. The toner costs you between 2500 to 3000 rupees and it prints around 3500 pages. which means the ink cost per page is RS 1.2 + the A4 size sheet cost, which means one print costs you around Rs 2.2 per page. If you get the toner refilled from outside (brother does not refill), they will ask you for the invoice of a new toner for your printer and if you don't have the invoice for a new toner you cannot claim the warranty. Almost all other printer manufacturers allow to get it refilled from 3rd party or they refill themselves but here you don't have that option. I am adding the picture of toner to give you a clear picture. The customer care wont even listen to you if you don't have an invoice for a new Brother Genuine Toner. Had they been the king then they would have also mandated to your brother electricity, brother air and eventually a brother printer operator or else the warranty will be void. Be smart enough, spending Rs. 2.2 on ink and paper + electricity. I would rather recommend it to get it printed from the market. SAVE YOURSELVES. and if you have one percent doubt that my review is influenced, just call brother customer care and ask them. I hope this review helped you and BROTHER management learns how to cater the Indian customers. If some brother employee is read this, tell your boss "Sir Indian market has a great potential, i liked the printer but only till the first refill. You need to review your warranty policies and marketing strategy in Indian region"

I've ordered this multi function device for my home need and it does a fantastic job. Mostly I am using it for my kid's school assignments. The print quality, duplex printing option, Copy & scan function, Admin tool, etc is simply superb. It's easy to unpack, easy to install. The quality of the print is so neat. Device does not heat up too much and it's noise free operation. Wireless printing option is the added advantage because of which I can place the printer wherever I want and not necessarily in my working table. Initially I had some trouble in setting up the scanner function (it's my bad that I have used WiFi router's different frequency band in my laptop and in the printer so the scan was not working). I did not have time to explore by reading the [online] manuals so I casually emailed the customer care team just in case if they can send me a reply. Surprisingly, within 2 hours I got a call from them and they have assisted me in screen-sharing mode of all complete set of options available in all functions, the features, setting up various printing options, etc. It was like a one simple online demo. I am super happy and satisfied with this purchase. I will definitely recommend.

After using for few months, here is the key feedback to help my fellow buyers. 1. price is okay 2. product material is not attractive. does not look like it is worth 14.5K 3. packing was okay 4. more importantly for those who are looking for Wifi/Remote - setup was not easy, one need to do 2 to 3 times to remember. 2-line screen is not a great help. if setup fails, it prints a status report, which is annoying and not needed. it does this everytime something is good or bad. wastes lot of papers - on each device (laptop), one needs to install the drivers (you can download) from their website. it installs a çontrol center - a menu driven scan application on desktop. - good way to scan to laptop remotely is - open control center on desktop, keep your paper on the scan glass and then click on scan. - you can set scanning resolution 600dpi is ok and works fast. if you opt 1200dpi then sit their for a while.. its too slow. so decide which needs which resolution before scanning. - you can scan continuously pages but by checking the box in control center on scan. I tried via FILE option - i was not successfully to scan through ADF. - I tried once to scan on my mobile . it was successful but after a tough time. so one needs to practice and remember trial results. I am yet to gain the confidence. - more technology means more learning and remember settings. - the printer and mobile/laptop have to be on the same WIFI. I do not if this is intelligent enough to remember more than one WIFI. - once check the status of WIFI connection, sometimes notices it becomes inactive though WIFI is on. There is a WIFI button, which glows. but honestly did not understood its use. I felt more problem on pressing as it can reset the WIFI connection. So, friends, play little bit by spending half to 1 day and take worth of the machine. Now about printing: - it prints with decent quality. prints one side and also two side (choose long flip). This control you can do from the printing options on your desktop about Scanner: - is only A4 size. you can scan one side from glass or from ADF. the door action is little uncomfortable perhaps we have to adjust to that. - this is big machine so place it at comfortable location, height for ease of use and enjoy. Over all a good machine. but gave average rating because it is giving what it should do for its price. WIFI, scanning, some of the features could have be easy for the user. Did not like the machine built - looks cheap.could have used a better material. should have provided a cover for that price. I have using this for my personal use and I use it rarely. Brought this because I needed a good printer to print 2-side and scan/print remotely (a true all in one multifunction) Thanks for reading.

Good product satisfiy
