Good scanner and an average printer
I've owned the MFC-J6930DW for about 4 years so I am speaking from a long-term owners perspective. I use the printer in a home environment so it's not used on a daily basis, more like weekly. As the title implies, the scanner function is excellent in terms of scanning office type documents for archiving. The scanning is quick and its duplex function is excellent. The scanner never jams, which is unlike other brands I have tried. It also has a large flat-bed so you can scan legal documents and A3. I have used this for scanning certificates and awards etc and it's been really useful to have the capability. It's not great for scanning photos though and I wouldn't recommend it for that as the scan quality doesn't bring out the best in the colours or dynamic range. As for the printing, it's relatively quick but the quality is only average. I've been using the XL size ink cartridges and they last longer than average, but like most printers they're too expensive in my opinion. My cartridges recently ran out and I decided it was a good time to switch printers and I bought an Epson EcoTank ET-3850. The print quality is better on the Epson and the ink will last a lot longer, so in the long run it will be more cost effective. I won't be getting rid of the Brother though as the versatile scanning it offers will still come in hand in the future.

Had Brother printers years ago but my wife brought a Canon with her. That died and my MFC of choice was a Brother MFCJ6930DW..

Great so far
I have just had the printer for a month but so far so good.
Many capabilities. Print quality good. Print options good. Easy to scan.
Easy to set up. I did need a little help and calling Brother proved quite easy and helpful. This is my first Brother, I have used HP for many years.

Software/Wi Fi Terrible
This is our fourth large format printer scanner from Brother, others similar to this unit.
We end up having to replace them when they start jambing incessantly so you might get two years out of these units. However, this particular unit has been very difficult to set up with Wifi, slow to receive and print, and a third of the time isn't recognized on the wireless network despite re-boots. This after two or three firmware updates in the same number of weeks. Have not had this issue with previous units. Also the printing software is very limited. I am now trying to print from Ipad and the ios App from Brother does not support tabloid! This is why we bought this unit.
We use an earlier model in our architecture office, and outside of the occasional jambs we enjoy the flexibility. This model is for our home and performs much worse even though a newer model.

Great output, fast
Output is sharp, very fast, and duplex printing is a huge plus. Only downside is the software which is a little convoluted for my taste, to print 11"x17", don't select 11"x17", select "Ledger", drove me crazy trying to figure that one out.

It is not a good choice if you scan to a computer on a regular basis. I have to select scan at the printer and then walk all the way over to the computer to select ok. Every single time and support can't fix it. No place to turn to for a solution.

Love this printer, worth ordering online!
My old Brother broke and I had to have a printer right away. Unable to locate my models replacement in town. Needless to say 2 months later I ordered my Replacement Brother printer online. Brother printers are way better on the ink, easy to use (even easier than my previous model) We use to print plans for construction jobs so the 11 x 17 is a must. I have only had this one for a month so have not used all the features yet, but based on my last model, I will alway buy Brother..

Great Value
I purchased this all in one to replace a HP. The printer is faster and definitely more quiet than the HP. Print quality is very good. Reliability? Time will tell. The negatives are two. Although wireless, it is not BlueTooth compatible. I'm not sure how that affects my network because all my devices are able to connect to the printer. Next, this all in one is HUGH and HEAVY. It's approximately 22" lone, 26" deep with rear paper feed and front pap[er support extended. I probably would have made a different choice had I known. But it's here and working great so far.

Horrible. Don't buy.
I bought this machine exclusively so I could print 11x17 pages. Apparently when you do that, it clogs the printer heads. After multiple cleanings and hours upon hours of wasted time with customer service in a foreign land, about a dozen printer cartridges and time and money that I'll never get back, the machine is worthless.

After going into low power standby mode it will always power up and print without any problems.

Quality of prints are very good and, so far, I'm loving this purchase

Great printer!
This printer works great. Text and graphics looks great as long as you have it set on fine or higher. If you print on normal setting, it leaves a faint line in 2 places on the sheet of paper. That's why I only have it 4 stars. If you set it on fine the lines disappear, but it uses more ink and is slower.

good printer with some serious glitches
Output is good, and typically the scan function works. Downsides: Scan via USB breaks a lot (user can print but cannot scan. If you want to add another same model printer or if you need to fix a printer issue, it seems the solution is to run the full installer all over again. Additionally, it seems that the only way to get the printer successfully installed is to run the full installer rather than just the driver.

Has it's issues
Most important is that they don't make a decent driver for Linux. The driver that is provided is problematic and doesn't seem to support all the functions the printer can do. Even from Windows 7 there are control problems. Also, the front control panel is maddeningly limited, it shows status, but won't let you make changes, like switching to the manual paper tray for instance.

Fast and Dependable!
Good fast printing. The on-line automatic WiFi ink reordering is a Great feature. Only two knocks:
Like most printers, it sometimes disconnects from WiFi leading to annoying re-boots of the printer and the computer.
The extension shelf, for long paper, broke on day 2. It’s made from not very strong plastic and has some weak support points (one of which broke. Should be built a little sturdier.

Great Printer with this price
It's hard to find a printer with this price can do much of thing, especially 11x17 paper which i'm using a lot. The speed is not really fast but it's ok. The thing i'm worry right now is the ink. The colors are fine but the black ink is gone faster than i think. The ink we use right now is LC3019, way better than LC3017. I hope Brother will have another better one. We are thinking about MFC-J6935DW for the future one, however, we are stick with this now

Awesome machine, great Abilities
I love the machine. It's not small though, it's more of an office size. I love all the features. The cartridges are lower cost than most others. But this is were it gets the 3 *, the ink is terrible. I replaced my HP printer for this because the cost of the cartridges are cheaper for the Brother. They need to improve the vibrancy of the colors, they look terribly faded, muted, just not bright enough. Please improve the vibrancy of your color cartridges. Other than than I love all the features of the printer.

This is a really good printer. I am a bookkeeper/paralegal with a home office. I have always been an Epson fan but I have returned 3 Epsons due to software issues. This is my first Brother and I have to say I am very happy with it. This printer does pretty much everything I need it to do. My only complaint is that I am unable to print business cards. The rear feed does not feed correctly for a card sheet.

One Caution if You are Printing in #8CD1CC Blue
Perfect in every way but one...and only if you have a logo featuring a color similar to Tiffany Blue. You must use the 'inkjet paper setting' for accurate results. Tech support was great in working with me to figure it out, so kudos to them. It's definitely an engineering problem Brother needs to address

This is the most incredible printer we have owned!
We have a number of printers in the office but this printer by far is the BEST. It was purchased to replace a retired Brother MFC6490CW that has worked flawlessly for over 4 years and printed 10s of thousands of pages. It is incredibly fast and best of all it prints both sides of the paper. We print a lot of 11x17 engineering drawings and again the print speed is incredible. We also do a lot of document scanning and this has integrated into our network systems perfectly. This printer also has wired ethernet which is important to us for data security as WiFi is not permitted in our office.

Good speed on normal printing, lousy documentation
Set-up was straight-forward and uneventful, connected immediately on my home network. Printing on letter-size paper was good and fast enough, from every tray, but photo printing could not be accomplished at all. Photo paper jammed from tray 1 and/or 2, and when loading tray 3 (back), photo printing defaulted to print tray 2 every time and ended up saturating standard letter paper with ink, over and over. Amazon accepted my return without question or hassle, and the refund was very quick.

Out The Box Good
I needed a printer to replace my previous large format business printer to print 11 X 17 inch catalogs. This printer does that and so much more. I'm able to load 11' X 17" paper in tray 2, 8.5" X 11" paper in tray 1, and fast load envelopes in the Multi-Purpose Tray. The WiFi connect is great and easy to setup. The only things I view as a negatives are that some research must be done to print some odd sizes and .when searching online for ink cartridges, the wrong cartridges are returned on every site I searched.

Frequent Paper Jams
The printer jams more often than it actually completes a print job. I had another Brother printer that worked flawlessly for 10+ years, but this one is extremely frustrating. The set up was quick, the wi-fi integration was a breeze, but frequent paper jams are annoying. As other reviewers noted, it is also very slow. This printer makes me wonder whether or not I selected the right one. There are many other less expensive options which may perform better. Disappointing.

Great Print Quality
We use this printer in a medium sized office of a manufacturing facility. It is used to print engineering design prints. The quality of the prints are fantastic down to the minor details. We also use this printer for making color copies. The only thing we would add to this printer for a function is to be able to scan directly from this printer to our paperless filing system from the display screen/function buttons on the printer itself. If it had the functionality we would rate this a 5 star printer.

Good product with some exceptions
Printing is fast and high quality and large format capability is really useful. But I discovered a weakness when printing labels. Specifically, Avery Business Cards. Feeding from Tray 1/2 results in 60% paper jams, and the MP tray jams every time. The problem seems to be feeding in landscape mode which these labels are not designed for. I like the 2 trays because I use preprinted forms (checks) in Tray 2 and plain paper in the default Tray 1. However, when Tray 1 runs dry, it switches automatically to Tray 2 which obviously I don't want. And there is no way to stop this. I have printed quite a lot on the original ink cartridges and they are still good, so seems to be quite efficient on ink.

Getting better
I have been using various models of this machine for almost 10 years now and they have been getting better with this latest one almost perfect for my business. I can store 3 different size papers in the machine and it automatically chooses the right one to print on. Works about twice as fast as the previous version, a little quieter, and I have had and with no glitches or jams so far. Good friendly tech support if you need it but I have not had to call with this machine. A great value for all it does and you can count on timely driver updates to new versions of windows.

Excellent all-in-one printer
I'm delighted with my new printer. not only does it print well, but the scan and copy features are very useful and easy to use. I'm also using the ability to print ledger paper more often than I expected, as I'm in the middle of producing plans and diagrams for my new home. My only complaint is the inability to print letter-sized sheets in portrain mode. I print checks with this printer and this inability makes it difficult to print less than a full-page of checks.

A little Disappointed
I was excited to get this printer, but am disappointed that when turn on the printer to scan in the morning, it does not give me the option to select my computer to have it scanned to. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I called in to have it fixed, the person I talked to said that it had to do with our fire wall. I talked with our IT guy, he said it does not have to do with our firewall. It's so frustrating!!

So far so good
Enjoying printing architectural drawings at 1/4 sheet size to bid jobs. Photo printing seems good. Still getting used to the machine. I am having a problem scanning and keeping the scans straight. I tried inserting the original to the hard stop, soft (beep stop, paper guides tight, snug, soft, but still doesn’t feed straight. Shoulod be easier but maybe I need more practice.

So Far, So Good!!
This is used for a small business, this is the second Brother I have purchased. I purposely bought a similar model to my last one because it has all the features my business requires and the last one was really reliable. I like to two paper trays as sometimes i have to print 11 x 14. Its great not to have to change paper trays. These trays also hold alot of paper, therefore i am not constantly adding more paper. The scan feature is also terrific and speedy.

Great selection of paper sizes, some quirks
Had MFC6490CW for several years, loved it. So the MFC-J6930DW seemed a perect replacement.
Overall it has performed pretty well, but there are two issues I find irritating. 1 every once in a while after sending a print job to it, it's looking for a document in the multi purpose tray. Don't have much time for trouble shooting, so it seems a reboot of printer corrects problem.
2) Some larger pdf files seem to get slowed down loading to memory.
Aside from these items is creates a decent professional looking output and is kind on the pocketbook in terms a ink usage.

DO NOT BUY!
We purchased this printer for our small business. Its quick scanning and printing features were part of the reason we chose this one. We've currently owned the printer 3 months and it has done terrible printing. It prints vertical streaks through just about anything we print/copy. We've used both genuine Innobella ink (recommended and the generic. Neither were any better quality. We've done printer nozzle cleanings and contacted Brother twice by phone. I would highly recommend getting a different printer!!!

Great Printer but ink thirsty.......
Easy set up out of the box, lovely feature set and quality output BUT I was very disappointed to go through $105 worth of colour ink to print 34 pages in colour over 6 weeks. (user report verified number of copies. Brother assures me that this is perfectly normal for their 3019XL cartridges because it uses colour in to print in monochrome despite having a black ink cartridge. Where is the 1500 pages advertised for that cartridge?

It is of good quality, I don't have trouble finding replacement ink, and it is pretty fast!

Another Home Run from Brother
A little over twenty years ago I got fed up with the usual brand and bought my first Brother printer. Over the years I have bought a couple of dozen, of every type, for home and business use - sometimes several copies of a single model. The dependability has been so consistent that now I just match the features I want and buy. This one is proving to be just as capable and ready as each of the others has been. I look forward to using it for a long time! Thanks!

Just Like the 20DW But a Little Bigger
I replaced my old MFC-J6920DW with the newer 30DW because the cost of replacing the print drum on the 20 was more than the cost of a brand new 30. The 20 lasted (to the day 2 years. Makes me wonder if Brother is running a planned obsolesce business model. There was really nothing wrong with the old printer (other than the print drum) and it was a pain to have to replace it and set it up. As far as I can tell right now, they are the same machine except ink for the 30 is cheaper (they say) and the outside dimensions are slightly larger (also a pain because I will have to reconfigure the shelving where the 20DW fit very nicely). I like the printer. It handles 11x17 scans and color prints just fine so its a good fit for my work.

Good printer for the money
The user interface for printing is pretty straight forward. The scanner feature is difficult to use. The way Brother names documents is weird. My HP allowed me to preview the document after it scanned and so far I have not been able to figure out how to do it with the Brother. I also was told by Brother support that I cannot rotate PDF documents once they are scanned. I have to scan the document as a JPG file and use Adobe for converting into a PDF.
I do like the dual tray feature which allows me to make different size prints which I do frequently.

Everything I wanted, and more!
I had purchased a competitor's printer, and it was a nightmare, problems and no customer service. I threw it in the dumpster and began looking at my 9 year old Brother printer and thought, "What was I thinking?" I never had a moment's problem with my old Brother printer, so why don't I order one of the new ones? Now I have TWO Brother printers. This one is for the fancy stuff, the beautiful colors, the fact that it prints edge to edge. The other one I just bought is a b&w laser printer for the everyday stuff. Keep making them just like this, Brother. Way to go!!!

prints all sizes up to 11x17 however, as with many of today's products, the technology forces one to do things not immediately required; i.e. change ink cartridges . Have found the colors not as brilliant as with my $50 HP 3830. Had basic same model from 10 years ago, bought this as ops familiar and I had a project going that was very time sensitive. Didn't find the "newer technology" improved anything, and the ink cartridges are more expensive.

Nice Printer
I did my research, and this is the model I wanted. Unfortunately, there were none available online or in stores. But, rather than buy another model, I waited three months for this one. I'm glad I did; it's very nice. Twos drawbacks I see is that it prints slowly when on photo-quality. This may be typical; I'm not sure. Also, the included ink cartridges don't last long. My understanding is that they contain less ink than the replacements you'll have to buy

The colors are weak and anemic. The black and white is okay, I would have bought a cheaper model or a competitor's unit if I'd known how much the quality has degraded. I bought a Brother MFC 20 years ago and wore it out. This replacement is a pale shadow of the former unit.

It now requires a bolt-on "App" that integrates very poorly with the front panel UI, and requires the use of a 3rd-party AWS-hosted service to send the email... thus making it utterly unusable for nearly all corporate networks.
The J6910DW used to be able to do this natively - why remove a feature that worked exceptionally well?

MFC-J6930DW Printer
Printing quality is great ! The ability of printing 11x17 prints is a high priority for me.

Great All In One Unit for the Money
I have never owned a 3 in 1 machine and chose Brother because of my experience with a laser printer. This time I wanted a unit that would do a better job of printing color and the MFC was priced reasonably. Purchasing it meant I could throw out an old scanner and have other desirable features such as wireless printing and more. I am completely satisfied. the Scan/Print App works well with my MacBook and we are able to print remotely from another room, do 2-sided printing and use a wide variety of paper including 11x17 which I have not done before.

Not overly impressed
I had my machine for about a year and all of a sudden I started gettig scans that were not clean. Tried cleaning it but it would scan one page clean and then right back to blue lines running down the length of the scan. Gave up and bought an HP.
