  • QuestionWill this still print in black ink if you are out of color?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer If one or more color ink cartridges are low, but not at the end of their usable life and you want to minimize the use of color ink, change the settings in the Brother software to print with black ink only (grayscale). If you print with black ink only, the other ink cartridges must have ink for the printer to print. When an ink cartridge is depleted, you must replace it before you can print. If you print with black ink only, the printer may still use small amounts of ink from all the ink cartridges for occasional servicing tasks. Brother recommends that you replace any low ink cartridges to avoid any interruptions in printing.

  • QuestionWhy am i getting partial or blank pages when I copy a page

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer This printer will send you constant notifications that the toner is low - even though it is not. They even put a chip in each ink cartridge to count the number of prints so that they automatically break the printer until you buy a new ink cartridge - even if you have ink left in the cartrige. It is so obvious that they are holding you hostage to buy more ink - I will absolutely never ever buy another brother product. Absolute deception at it's worst

  • Questioncan you scan to a thumbdrive

    Asked by lkpr.

    • Answer I do not believe this model (MFC-J497DW) has a Media Slot. Although the PDF User Manual for this model mentions scanning to a Memory Card or USB, the manual also applies to three other models. All accessible areas have a tab or pull, but there is no way to open the area designated as Media Slot Cover.

  • QuestionCan I use ink cartridges LC101c from another model of brother?

    Asked by Qurstion.

    • Answer Nope. Every time Brother comes out with a new model, they make sure you have to purchase new ink cartridges. Sad.

  • QuestionIs this Brother printer capable of 2 sided scanning ? And will it scan docs to email addresses?

    Asked by kljoyner.

    • Answer The Brother MFC-J497DW printer does not offer automatic 2-sided scanning. 2-sided documents need to be scanned and flipped manually using the flatbed scanner. This printer offers Scan to E-mail Attachment, which sends the scanned documents to your default e-mail client on your computer. For more information, feel free to contact Brother Customer Service directly.

  • QuestionIs this wireless printer easy to setup?

    Asked by don.

    • Answer Not too bad if you're familiar with wireless setups. The Brother's site is a labyrinth of pages that lead all around all over the place. The set up manual was actually fairly clear.

  • QuestionDoes it come with ink?

    Asked by Tiny.

    • Answer Yes, but like most printers the ink is most likely not full (as they say they are). I had printed a couple of papers and the ink ran out :-/. I had expected that would happen, so I had bought a high yield on Amazon for a very fair price.
