This review is from: Brother Printer MFC7360N Monochrome Printer with Scanner, Copier & Fax and built in Networking (Office Product)
I have found my Brother printer to be quiet and energy efficient. I noticed that one of the top reviewers suggested that the printer is noisy and a current hog, but I find the opposite. I'm suspecting that he has a defective machine. Anyway, the print quality copier is very good with this product at 300dpi, and the scan quality is good for documents--even color documents. I found, however, that scanning old photographs leaves vertical lines in the scanned image that are difficult to get rid of (at 300 and 600dpi). These were old photos, but still, there shouldn't be lines added to the image.

When installing the scanning software, I suggest that you install the "professional" version instead of the "home" version. I find it more intuitive than the "home" version. It offers several preset buttons that give you one-click capability. The default settings on the buttons are decent and easy to modify with a right-click.

Getting to OCR (optical character recognition), I found that the free software works well (provided with the printer, by Nuance software) pretty well but has some limitations. It also nees some TLC. You should set the OCR settings to use Grey Scale, notch up the contrast by one and darken the brightness by one. This helped me go from 15-20 errors per page to about 3-4. Setting to 600dpi didn't seem to improve OCR performance but did slow down the scan time.

Please note that the free OCR software doesn't recognize formatting in the document that it scans. Even though you can dump the text to Word or Wordpad, it is still just unformatted text. This can be an issue when you scan multiple columns, as the text ends up being interleaved. Fortunately, you can "pre-scan" the imaage (such as a newspaper article) and select the area to scan using a clipping rectangle.

Also worth noting is the ability of the OCR software to scan multiple pages using the auto-feed feature of the printer. I was able to scan 20 pages of text from my manuscript at at time, saving putting each sheet on the platter for scanning. This was very cool by saving a lot of time scanning.

Ulyricia S. Pittman (New York, NY, US). I owned a brother printer MFC-7820n for five years prior to this and I'd have say this one's faster and quieter than the 7820. The color scanner is better and faster too. I don't really find it very noisy. I mean, it is a brother printer.

The brother printer 7820 printed on waxy paper without clumping and this one clumps. Most people won't care about that but since I do a considerable amout of ebaying, it's nice to be able to print on half sheets without smudges on the next page that prints out.

If you're looking for wireless, keep looking. The ethernet requires a router connection so 6 of one, half a doz... you know the rest. All and all, it's pretty good for the money and will pay for itself in ink in 1 year compared to an inkjet.

bassplayer360.  I bought this printer because my old lexmark inkjet no longer has available drivers for my mac and was not network ready.
This printer is wired network ready and since I have available ports on my router, it saved me $100.00 over the wireless network printer so that was a no brainer.
I first installed it on my iMac with os x 10.5.8 leopard.
perfect
I initially used brother printer wired through usb just to get it working with my iMac.
easy as pie. works great out of the box
Now I want to set brother printer up as a network printer/scanner
using the included disc it was like a 5 minute install on my iMac.
everything works exactly as it did before
it took 10 minutes on my pc.
works awesomely!
prints and scans easily as if brother printer were plugged in.
from both my pc laptop and my iMac.
in case you missed that let me say brother printer one more time.
from my iMac AND my pc.
so just to really tax this thing I tried to print from my ipod using printopia ($20.00 app) and voila! printed immediately.
I love this brother printer
yes I read the brother printer reviews, the fan is a little loud but not annoying. it's really not loud, just ...there. then it stops
so would I recommend this unit? to everyone? YES!!! 

Carroll B "Carroll B" (Baltimore, MD). Only had this printer for about three weeks but I like it so far. Warm up is quick, about 15 seconds from cold start to the first printed copy. Have it installed as a network printer so I can print wirelessly from my notebook through my router. I like the fact that Brother has one of the less expensive toner cartridges on the market. I would recommed this multi-function printer to anyone in a home enviroment (where I use Brother Printer) to a small office. We have several Brother printers similar to this one at work and use them mostly for fax and some light copying. 

Richard C. Morgan.  (Palo Alto, CA USA) The field of monochrome all-in-one AIO laser printers copier lags behind the more ubiquitous inkjet AIO units. I needed an economical solution for scanning and printing copier documents. It didnt' make sen$e to keep buying expensive ink replacements from the inkjet printer. I settled on the brother printer MFC-7360N. The unit is somewhat noisy when using ADF (auto doc feeder) and acceptable when printing. Construction is plasticy but so are most printers these days.

Some other drawbacks:
- Cannot change the default directory where images are stored on your computer
- Takes about 30-min to install the drivers & sw on one computer. sooooo slowwwww
- The little display window is hard to read even at its highest contrast setting! Wow, bizarre.
- M-F (no weekend) customer support

The brother printer is acceptable and not too expensive. The software for Mac is quite full-featured but not robust. UI is a weak point. I learned to workaround its quirkiness. The printer is great if you just want an efficient machine at a modest price. Once you get used to the software, it will allow to be quite productive. Scan multi-page docs to create single-file PDF (had problems scanning 6 pages, insufficient RAM??) but no problem combining scanned pages later to gen PDF.

B. Stenman. Small footprint, well integrated Ethernet access, large paper storage space, inexpensive (compared to HP) toner, and a document feeder, all at a very low price. In my past experience with Brother printers and fax machines they are extremely reliable and easy to setup and that is why I chose to go with a Brother. With a infrequently used copier the inkjet versions will clog and as the ink dries out in the print heads and they are a lot slower and in the long run a lot more expensive with the cost of consumables.

Setup was fast and easy and the Nuance scanner software is great and an improvement over that provided with older models from brother printer and the software from HP which is so bloated that it often fails to even install properly.

Nice feature is the ability to register a PC by name when installing the software. Then when scanning a document you can select the destination computer from the Brother and push the scan to the desired PC. Very easy and very slick implementation and it works!

Nuance software also provides for scanning to the customary TIFF or JPEG formats but by default will scan and output a PDF file which is a real timesaver for scanning a document to email to someone. I would pay for the free Nuance software for this feature alone.

Printing to the brother printer MFC7360N wakes it out of sleep mode (actuall "deep sleep") and outputs a page in seconds. It is roughly four times as fast as my HP 4000TN printer to output the first page. The Brother does suck up a lot of power when it comes out of sleep mode and the alarm goes off on the UPS that is on the same circuit. I suspect it probably should be on its own circuit or a 20amp circuit to avoid any problems with other devices.

Scanning is very fast and with standard large images works as expected. With text pages though the borders have a shadow pattern on the page on both sides that is generated within the machine. For OCR or most images this is not going to be a problem but not great for making scans of text pages for electronic archival purposes. This problem only affects scans and does not happen when making a copy of the same printed page so it may be a problem with the Nuance software.

It also is extremely noisy with a loud hum and loud fan noise when it is first turned on or after a page is printed. It goes into standard and then sleep and then deep sleep mode and the fan does not shut off until it reaches "deep sleep". The MFC really needs to be in a separate room with a door you can close. Turning the unit on and not even printing or scanning it goes into standard mode and I timed how long it took for the fan to shut off. Brother printer takes a full 11 minutes before the machine goes into deep sleep mode and its very loud fan shuts off. Has to be a defect in the design as the cooling fan cycles even when the MFC7360N is first turned on and nothing has been printed. This could be fixed with a firmware upgrade but apparently brother printer has not bothered to produce one.

I paid $179.97 for this printer copier on August 24, 2011 and a week later it is priced at $114.99 which, if you can put it in a separate room, makes this a good value with the low cost of the brother printer consumables.

The noise is loud and atypical of laser printers. Most recently I bought a Canon 4570dn all in one and after it prints a page it shuts down immediately and it is completely silent. The 11 minutes of fan noise from the majority of brother printer laserjet printers is a fairly recent defect as I have had other laserjet printers from brother printer that did not exhibit this behavior and were extremely reliable.
