Brother HL-2040

Buyers looking for a very compact personal laser printer that still offers fast speeds should take a look at the Brother HL-2040.  It is a monochrome laser printer designed with small office spaces in mind, but still comes at a very low price that will appeal to buyers on a budget.  Brother HL-2040 toner is inexpensive and easy to replace.

When you look at the Brother HL-2040’s compact size and affordable price, you might be tempted to think that it must sacrifice speed and print quality.  Luckily, it sacrifices neither.  Print speed is up to 20 pages per minute, in line with models that are much larger.  Print quality is excellent due to its 2400×600 dpi printing resolution, which produces sharp crisp text and graphics.  The machine measures 14.6 inches by 6.5 inches by 14.2 inches and weighs only 14.3 pounds, so it is fairly easy to move around.

The printer has a 250-sheet input paper capacity and also includes a manual feed slot for alternate media types and sizes, such as envelopes.  It can connect by either USB or parallel port for added flexibility, but does not include built-in net working upport. 

Small office users often have limited budgets, so the low cost of Brother HL-2040 toner cartridges will be very welcome.  Brother HL-2040 toner is easy to find in stores, and replacing cartridges is quick and easy.  Brother HL-2040 toner cartridges have a capacity of 2,500 pages, so even heavy users won’t have to replace them often.  It is a bit disappointing that the unit comes with only a starter cartridge with a reduced capacity, but this is unfortunately a common practice for budget machines.

Home and small office users alike will find the Brother HL-2040 to be an excellent value.  Its speed, quality, and affordability make it a good fit for almost any buyer.
