Does it curl pages when printing at highest quality settings?

Every laser curls pages. I do however use its highest settings a lot and print on glossy photo paper--both sides. Kind of a nasty job for any laser. At my work I have almost the same unit in an HP. I have always liked HP's for some reason. The Brother is MILES ahead of a virtually identical HP laser unit. The curl after printing both sides is less then the HP on one side with just a plain document. I rarely endorse anything, just because your situation may not be the same as mine. But I have to say you will have the best printing and least curl of about anything out there. And DON'T forget to read and print the review done on this unit some time back about how to reset the machine when it thinks you are out of a color of toner. I don't remember who wrote it but it has saved me a lot of money on toner. Good luck with a great machine!

Works perfectly fine on my Intel Mac. I've alternated between draft, high quality, RPM, and all worked perfectly.The catch, if you can call it that, is that you can only choose the various high end settings IF you choose the proper media type. If you leave the media type set to Plain paper then you get plain printing only. You have to select the appropriate media type in order to enable the higher end printing options.

It will but not automatically. If you select duplex printing it will print the odd numbered pages then ask you to put the paper back in upside down to print the even numbers on the back.

I suppose you are asking about high quality photos on photo paper. I haven't tried this, but suspect you need a much higher quality printer It does print in color. This printer is about as basic as you can get. It's fine for light home use, but not much more.

That should work well-- it's the shiny side you want. I have same printer and paper, and my prints are outstanding. Are you printing from Photoshop? I just noticed that I always select Standard by default-- but choosing photo shouldn't make any real difference like you describe.

Yes, but the quality of the print is not too notch and the machine will keep warnings on tgere showing that you are not using true hp cartridges.

I have no idea other than to make sure that your print settings are set for the "best" quality. The default is "normal". Also be sure that the paper setting is the same as what you are using.

Yes it does. In the user manual it explains how to setup the "Print Server Settings".

I called Epson directly with this question, and the rep said "To be honest...." this printer isn't really designed to handle the "stiffer" paper, like cardstock for greeting cards or business cards. I appreciate their honesty! because I was all set to get this printer, but it turns out it isn't designed with one of the major functions I want. ((Weird -- it makes coloring book pages and prints on DVDs -- but won't print on cardstock?!)Back to the drawing board.....

Yes. It prompts you to insert the output (the front pages) back into the feeder so it can print the back side. It guides you on how to do this. Reading the other responses on this thread, I agree this requires human intervention, but it's not a big deal. I do a lot of double-side printing. It works well. To put this in the proper perspective, this is the same process as for my more expensive HP LaserJet Color 300 which cost twice as much.

Doesn't matter which side (or both) of the paper you print on. Your printer needs to be capable of double sided printing or you know how to manually print double sided.

Yes, and it handles everything I've thrown at it. Google Print and Eprint, double side printing - awesome feature I never had on this price printer. 250 pages of 8 12 x 11 and 11 x 17 - paper filling is just about non-existent.

Sandy, this is a good printer, but before investing, contact Brother and find out if the paper curl can be remedied. There is a setting to "reduce paper curl" in the options menu of the printer, but it does not seem to fix the problem for me. It appears as though the roller location causes the paper to make a tight turn and therefore causes any type of paper to curl.

Part of that is warm up, but I have had no complaints with the speed it prints. I haven't personally timed the pages, but it feels about right or even faster.

No to do this you have to set your printer setting to print all odd page and then print, next you have to put back in the prints facing up and change back setting to all even numbers and then print. Good luck

Yes...not a problem. When the software responds to print the page, go to print properties and select duplex.

Like any printer it depends on your usage. I've found that 'regular' printing has been very reasonable.High res photo printing on 'best' setting used more than my last printer but the result was worth it.All in all I recommend getting the printer.
