What our customer's say!
"Excellent features for the money", A feature rich printer that allows you to replace 3 different machines with only this one. Nice design and great looking. The only negative is the separate drum, that you need to replace every 3 or 4 toner replacements. Still, I recommend by all means.
"Excellent product", I needed something for my home office, mainly to fax and scan (amazing how prevalent fax still is). Read all reviews and zoned in on this one. Picked it up at Staples for 119. Very impressed with all functions. Scanning is outstanding, so is faxing and printing. The software CD was not so user-friendly, but I got around it. Great buy !!
"Good product.", This product works pretty well even though it feels a little flimsy. The scanning works very well and is pretty fast. The fax machine works well but can't distinguish between a phone call and a fax. The printing is ok but not up to HP quality. The copies are too light. I see they have raised the price about $50 since I bought it. Despite these gripes, I am happy overall with the product.
"A decent printer for the money", I looked at quite a few combo printers before purchasing this one. I just switched from an inkjet and will never go back...the ink always seems to dry up way too fast. Of course, I do seem to go a while between printing. I have owned the MFC 7340 now for about two plus months and I am very satisfied with it. It was delivered very fast and was relatively easy to set up. The one thing I wasn't real happy with was how I had to search through a boat load of information on the disk to find how to set up the scanner with my Mac...it could have been simplified with better headings on the disk. Otherwise I have been very happy with this purchase...it prints and scans fast and does a nice job.
"Great printer for medium/light home use", This printer has performed a million times better than any other I have used in recent years. It is quiet, rarely jams, the quality is great, and we've had no problems with copying, scanning or printing, although we have yet to use the fax feature. The only complaint I have is that, predictably, the ink ran out fairly soon, and gave a warning that the ink was low. I even think it refused to print any more at that point. We then blocked the sensor so it wouldn't read when the ink was "low" and it started printing again without problem. The really frustrating thing is that the machine told us to change the ink cartridge MONTHS ago, we did not, and it has gone on print just fine since then, including a 70+ document that we just printed out this morning. Just a scam to get you to buy new ink long before you actually need it.

Read this reviews before You buy...
"CJ's review", I love Brother products. My first Brother All-in-one was the best. Never had any problems with it until they decided to stop making drivers available for Windows Vista users. So I decided to get this one. Overall, it's ok, but sending multi-page faxes using the document feeder is impossible, at least for me, which kind of makes this a drag. Other than that, it's fine.
"MFC-7340", I had a problem with copies being to light for my liking.I contacted Brothers Help and they gave me information that was not in the USER'S GUIDE.To increase darkness, press menu then enter 216. At that point I was able to increase density and now I'm happy.I still have a problem with copy's being light when printing e-mails.I would like to be able to improve that feature.(I have not made a return call to Brothers Help desk) I repaired copiers for 30 years and I would have to say over all I'm happy with what I got for what I payed. I was able to purchase my MFC-7340 for $159.99 with no shipping..The scan mode slows down considerable if you select 300x300 or more.
"A Good Buy", I purchased this multi-function printer/fax/copier about two months ago, when my old Brother multi-function printer (MFC-6800) stopped making dark prints. (I replaced the drum and the toner cartridge, but it just never worked right. I did get about three years use out of it.)
This new multi-function is smaller than the 6800, takes up less real estate (primarily because the paper now loads in a paper tray instead of out the back, and the printed copies are delivered in a space tucked into the machine.
The quality is fine. The text is crisp and sharp. I haven't printed any pictures yet, so I can't comment on that. I expect the pictures to be adequate.
The fax works fine. The copier function works well, also.
All around, this is a fine machine, with all the functions working very well.
The only downside was the installation of the software Brother provides. It kept hanging up. I have a copy of the Paperport software from a scanner I installed years ago. Brother puts an updated copy of Paperport on. I finally deleted the old version, and (finally) the disk installed properly.
I've had no problems other than that.
I concur that this is a machine more for light use than heavy use. However, that what I use it for, so it's appropriate. And the price is great! Brother has another winner here.
"perfect machine", i have had this machine for over 1 year with over 5000 pages printed and new toner changed, no problem at all. brother 7340 was the best! Adf scanner works great, can scan over 35 pages at one time, printer is great, never jammed. i used other printer such as hp, canon printers in the last 10 years, now i would never use those machine again. Brother is my choice.
"A great all-in-one printer", General Easy to install. USB 2.0 connection. Very easy to use - all in one Laser - prints, copy, scan & fax. Cheap to purchase and operate - separate toner cartridge and drum. There are many options to adjust print and scan qualities.
Printing It prints very quickly. I normally print 1~2 pages at a time. It spits out 1st page very quickly. It also prints out several copies quickly. You can choose not to collate to save on toner & drum. It does not curl papers like my 10+ years old HL-1040.
Copying I've copied a few pages. The quality is adjustable and output is fine.
Scanning Scans fairly quickly - a lot of options to change resolution, photo/text/web, size, etc. You can scan from the panel or from your computer using Brother's ControlCenter3 software (PC and Mac).
The included/download software provides many customization - including to customize the software's UI to perform specific functions. There are 4 sections - Scan, Custom Scan, Copy and PC Fax. Each section provides 4 buttons. Scan and Custom Scan allows you to quickly perform specific scan function (Image, OCR, eMail, File). Both Scan and Custom Scan allows you to further fine tune scan options - File Type, Target application, dpi, color or B/W, doc size, etc.
Fax You can fax with and w/o a computer - I did not try fax.
Other Features It comes with a 35 pages automatic flat bed sheet feeder (ADF) to copy, scan and fax pages of documents. The input tray can hold up to 250 pages. Everything is concealed and helps to keep dusts out.
Power Consumption It wakes up quickly when in sleep mode. It also consumes very little electricity (10W - according to spec) in sleep mode - although it could be lower. From spec: Power Consumption - Sleep/Ready/Copying - 10w/75w/460w. Although it did not cause flicker like my older HL-1040 (10+ years old), it did cause one UPS to beep while others on the same circuit did not respond.
Software You have to install the software came with the machine first. It will ask you to plug-in the USB cable after installation is completed. The CD will reboot the machine to complete installation. After that, you will get the Brother sets of tools including ScanSoft PaperPort 11, Brother's ControlCenter3 (to scan, copy and fax from your computer) and other diagnostic / support tools. After installed from CD, you can download and install the updated software. If you install the downloaded software first, it will NOT install ScanSoft PaperPort 11 (OCR software). However, I have only used it one or two times, the OCR software seemed ineffective to recognize and format the final document properly as scanned original version.
Conclusion It has worked VERY well to suit my need. I used it mostly to scan and print; while copy and fax will come in handy.
I originally wanted to get a networked AiO machine. But I learned that their scan and other functions does not always work flawlessly and not as fast as a regular AiO one. So I settle for this. Wife complain not being able to use the new toy - not sure if she really needs it :) I purchased a Kensington ShareCentral 5 @ Fry's on sale a few weeks ago. It worked great with this AiO. It worked beautifully. Both PCs can now scan, print, copy and fax directly to the AiO. I also plugged in a USB hub to Kensignton ShareCentral 5. It also worked well to connect my external hard drives.
