Very good printer - Glad I bought it
By Kim Boriskin
Despite Other reviews, the only two negatives I found were that it's rather noisy, and it makes an unsettling rattle when pulling a page back in to print on the back for duplex printing. But so far it's worked fine so I assume that the rattle is normal.

Otherwise: Maybe Brother has changed the scanner cover, but mine lifts almost a full 90 degrees. Settings in the menus, like Toner Saver, Sleep Time, etc, are easy to find, even if you don't read any documentation before using it. Ditto for most functions from within Windows.

Two small nits to pick: The display could use a backlight, and the paper drawer would benefit from an external paper stack indicator.

The manufacturer's toner refills are expensive, but so is toner for all laser printers I've seen, to the point where some cost almost as much as the printer.

So Far So Good!
By Bob
My mom needed a new printer/scanner. I researched and came up with a few possibilities, and this one got the nod.

Her typical use is on the order of 95% "copy machine" 4% computer printer, and 1% scanner. (Scanning is almost always with help over screen share.)

This machine is difficult to find in brick & mortar stores. We called them all in her area with no luck... and as there was really no rush, she ordered with the free shipping option... and the machine arrived in about a week. It shipped from the Phoenix area.

I helped her set it up via long distance screen share (she's in PA, I'm in CA). I downloaded a copy of the manuals off Brothers web site so I could better "play along". Set up went smoothly with no significant hang up's.

She's a Mac 10.7 user, and we discovered no software installation was really necessary. Her Mac already had all the necessary printer drivers, and Apples stock "Image Capture" application nicely handels all the scanner needs. Used as a "copy machine" the machine works independently

She reported it prints and copies beautifully... the print dialog box looked complete and straight forward. We did some scans, and they looked great as well. I suspect, but don't know for sure, that the scanner uses LED's as it's illumination source as there was almost zero 'warm up' time required.

She said printing was a little noisy but reasonable... and it's unlit display & control panel are both straight forward.

Yes, a long distance review, hope it's helpful. I won't even go into her last inkjet printer/scanner that took days to set up, and after that she was never happy or comfortable with.

Myself, I have a separate scanner, and Brother HL-2140 stand alone laser printer, of which I'm also very pleased.

Wireless Would Be Nice
By Timothy Sipples
This printer is the most (or among the most) affordable multi-function laser printers with automatic duplexing to acquire. (The Canon D420 is a direct competitor with very similar features.) It isn't too expensive to operate either, particularly if you activate the toner saving feature (which still provides very good quality) and if you decide to use non-OEM consumables. I like its space-saving no-nonsense design. Even with A4 paper the paper tray doesn't protrude from the unit. It's also not too heavy, and the grab handles are well placed, so it's easy to move around though still quite stable on a desk or table.

The one missing feature that I'd really like to have is built-in WiFi -- if only Brother made a DCP-7060DW model. However, the DCP-7060D does work wirelessly (for printing but not scanning) if you plug it into an Apple AirPort Express wireless hub or into some other USB-to-wireless adapter. Linux support is available, along with Mac and Windows. Sadly, printing from an iPad or iPhone apparently requires third party software and might also require the involvement of a PC or Mac to act as a print server. (It would be nice if Brother could rectify that.) I like the omission of an automatic document feeder, which takes up more space and which isn't something I use very often. I haven't been able to figure out how to permanently set duplex mode when copying. (It doesn't seem possible, so that's something you might have to set before you start copying.)

The scanner cover seems a bit wobbly in its attachments, although I can't decide if that's a feature or a bug. It doesn't seem to be a problem, and perhaps a little bit of "play" is good if somebody decides to smash the cover onto a thick book while scanning or copying.
