Amazon.com Product Description
The MFC-8460N has a convenient flatbed design that accommodates either single sheets or bound documents for copying, faxing, or scanning. With the ability to function as a digital copier, the unit supports reduction and enlargement of documents from 25 to 400 percent in one percent increments, makes up to 99 copies, and includes sorting functionality. Copies up to legal size can be made from both the glass and the automatic document feeder. Print and copy speeds up to 21 pages per minute keep up with busy offices, while outstanding resolution of up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi gives each document exceptional legibility.



Print, fax, scan, and copy -- all from one powerful unit. View larger.

Send scans, copies, and faxes directly from the MFC-8460N to colleagues that are listed in your network address book.

Choose the document feeder or the flatbed.
As a full-function stand-alone fax machine, the MFC-8460N supports up to 340 total speed dial locations, and also incorporates dual access and broadcast faxing features. It stores up to 600 pages for Quick Scan faxing or out-of-paper fax reception. Stand-alone fax and copy operation is standard, so no computer is required.

When operating as a scanner, the unit is capable of color scanning up to 9,600 dpi interpolated resolution (up to 600 x 2,400 dpi optical). For Windows and OS X 10.2.4 or greater based users, there is an easy-to-use "scan to" button for scanning directly to an FTP site, image application, OCR, E-mail application or file. Save time and reduce errors with instant direct access through your network connected MFC-8460N to a virtually infinite number of e-mail and fax addresses stored in your LDAP network address books. Simply use the large, clear 5-line LCD display on the MFC-8460N's control panel to view the contacts stored in your network address books and scroll to select the address you need. Then you can quickly send faxes and Internet faxes to your selection, and perform scan-to-e-mail-address functions.

The MFC-8460N provides the ability for an administrator to set various levels of password protected access to certain features, for each of up to 25 different users per machine. Through this feature, you can restrict specific employees such as part-time workers or interns from access to scan-to-e-mail functions or other avenues for sending data outside your walls.

The color scanner function comes bundled with document management and OCR software. ScanSoft PaperPort SE with OCR software is available for Windows and Presto! Page Manager is available for Mac users. The MFC-8860DN is also supplied with built-in wired Ethernet networking. The unit is compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems (Windows 98/NT4.0/2000/Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 9.1-9.2, OS X 10.2.4 or greater).

5 out of 5 stars Excellent for Small Businesses   August 30, 2008
Ground Zero Museum Workshop (New York City)
I have read some unfair reviews on this machine. I say unfair because I love it. I own a 9/11 Museum in Manhattan and just purchased this. It make copies very fast, has a paper feed table that is unbreakable because of the crutch that was ingeniously created below it (our last one broke) and we have faxed up to 30 page docs for billing at a time without the machine getting jammed. So, I don't know what all the fuss is, unless you have a large business that demands major copy machine output. It is a good machine for the money and we have no problems with it. -GMS www.GroundZeroMuseum.com New York City


4 out of 5 stars Big but loaded with features   August 24, 2008
Gordon Ewasiuk (Washington, DC)
Out of the box, this printer is big. Be prepared to give it some space. Physical setup is a breeze. Phone, power, printer, and network cables all plug into the back of the unit. Power button is on the right side. Paper tray reloads from the front of the unit.

Having a laser printer that connects to a network is a joy. I can roam around my home with my wireless laptop and send stuff to the printer all day long. No more USB cables connecting to the printer. No more parallel cables. The printer can be configured and managed using a built-in web-interface too. If you can use a web-browser, you can use this printer.

Printing itself is fast and clean. Specs say up to 21ppm. I've achieved around 18ppm when printing straight text. Printer comes with a 250sheet tray. An additional 250sheet tray can be added.

Scanning is just neat. This printer supports a "scan to FTP" feature too that lets me scan my old documents and get them sent to my computer. I've scanned old bills, tax records, and other documents that have been sitting around in file cabinets for months...even years. Having them in an electronic format is convenient for many reasons but primarily because now, they can be searched/indexed quickly. No more flipping through old bank statements or invoices.

Copying documents is pretty fast too. Printer just scans in the original and prints out copies so process is pretty fast. Specs say 21copies per min. Not your office copier speed but still.

The fax machine is your typical fax machine with the usual features -- lots of speed dials on this unit.

I put this unit to work when I had to submit a bunch of expense reports. The copier made copies of all my receipts. The scanner read in my expense report and saved a copy on my computer. The fax machine was used to send in all the reports...and I received fax confirmations using the laser printer when everything was done.

A brilliant printer. New toner carts are can be had for under $100 too. Go price comparable carts for HP and Lexmark. (My last Lexmark E232 cart was $179).

This is my first Brother unit...but it won't be my last. Highly recommend.



4 out of 5 stars Great Home Office Multi Function Machine   May 31, 2008
Keith Barrand (Ridgewood, NJ United States)
I love this machine. Works great networked with both my PC's and my Mac. Printed 50 copies of a document in the same amount of time that my inkjet would have taken to print 3. Crisp text. Came with a starter cartridge that I've been using for 2 months now. Only flaw - it crinkles envelopes a little when printing them.


4 out of 5 stars Good machine so far...   April 20, 2008
G. W. Marshall (Little Deer Isle, ME)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this machine specifically to print on envelopes and checks. It is the only laser all-in-one that has a multi-purpose tray at a good price. I was concerned that the snake paper path would not print well on envelopes, but there does not seem to be a unit with a nice straight-through paper path like my old HP 5Mp.

When I ran my first envelope, I was disappointed at the creases in it, so I visited the Brother web site and followed the extensive how-to. There are a couple of levers in the back of the machine you must flip and then using the network setup (control center 2) you set the MP tray to thick. Then let the machine crank through your stack of envelopes.

I just printed 200 heavyweight envelopes with NO creases. So it pays to read the tech support. The page goes on to state that if you are getting creased envelopes, you may need to be sent a new machine.

One problem I did encounter was a loss of communication (I'm using my MFC over an Ethernet connection), but cycling power brought it back on-line. Will tell you more as time goes on.

*** So here's the update. Still printing/faxing/scanning/copying just great. The network problem was that sleep mode was turned on. So I turned it off. Find sleep timer in the menu and then with the cursor on sleep time press the 'Secure' and 'Job Cancel' buttons at the same time. Then turn sleep off. And guess what? The machine goes 'idle' instead of 'sleeping'. It doesn't use any more power in 'idle' over 'sleep' according to tech support.
