Amazon.com Product Description
Brother contributes another smart machine--at a smart price--to the multifunction market with this five-in-one combination of full-color fax machine, printer, copier, and scanner, with computer-based fax capability. As a printer, the MFC-5100c can produce 10 ppm (pages per minute) of black and white and 8 ppm of color, at up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolution (naturally, the higher resolutions are a little slower printing). As a full-color fax machine, the MFC-5100c features 4 MB of memory (storing up to 200 pages) and 14.4K modem speed, delivering one page roughly every six seconds. A fax broadcasting option is also provided, letting you fax up to 90 locations at a time. In addition, the MFC-5100c is equipped with a PC fax driver, enabling you to send faxes directly from your PC. The MFC-5100c's scanner function scans at up to 9,600 dpi (interpolated; optical specification not available). When it comes to making copies, the MFC-5100c can print up to 99 copies at a time at 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution, and comes with a 100-sheet letter cassette. Copies can be reduced and enlarged from 25 to 400 percent. With both parallel and USB interfaces, the MFC-5100c is cross-platform compatible, working with Microsoft Windows and Macintosh iMac, iBook, G3, and G4 (cables not included). It comes with a one-year limited warranty.

 regret the purchase May 4, 2007
Sarah Ross (Brooklyn, NY USA)
A waste of money. I should have known better than to buy an inkjet printer. The quality is terrible.
Brother MFC - 5100c Malfunction April 11, 2007
Jack McPherson (Tucson)
Printer was not heavily used but still consumed large quantities of ink. Print quality was satisfactory to begin with but deteriorated within the year. Head cleaning did not help correct the problem. I was advised by brother to replace the ink cartridges which I did. This did not resolve the problem and I began receiving the dreaded error 41 code. Upon calling brother I was informed the print head was likely bad and that the printer was out of warranty. I was given the name and # of two service reps each of which indicated this had been a common problem. I was quoted head replacement at $150 - $200. Needless to say I now have a somewhat expensive boat anchor. No more brother products for me!
Number One In Paper Jamming March 29, 2007
Carchop (Tampa, FL U.S. of A.)
i have never owned a printer that jammed so much in my life.
photo quality is good, but S L O W and you MUST babysit the paper feed.
brother really lost credibility with this one ....
Machine Error 41 is "kiss of death" February 22, 2007
J. P. Crawford (Reno, NV)
I have consistently had problems with my 5100c since purchase. The color prints (especially photo quality) are ALWAYS lackluster and NEVER appear balanced with perpetual grain and mixed colors. I resigned ultimately to using it for occassional black/white copies and printing since the colors (even when I didn't print color) would dry up quickly, especially Magenta. At last, (and, of course, only after just purchasing new color cartridges) I suffered the dreaded "Error 41". What kind of machine tells you to "Unplug and call Brother". I did a quick google search to try to remedy the problem at home and found a fountainhead of disgust with this machine and a majority of all other BROTHER products from thousands of other purchasers. There is no way around the error except ponying up to buy a new printerhead (at basically the price of the printer new) or begging/pleading to have Brother replace it for you. It's a piece of (fill in the blank), and now I have the excuse to drop it from my rooftop. Don't buy this machine or other Brother products if you know what's best for you.
Error 41 November 27, 2006
James Ketchum (San Dimas, CA USA)
Dreaded error code 41 and I have no way to do anything. This MFC is a total piece of junk and I rue the day I was stupid enough to buy it.
In some ways I am happy it died because now I will go out and buy a decent machine from a reliable company that cares about their customers and their image.
GOOD BYE Brother. May your stock drop to zero and your rip-off company go down the tubes.
