Q: What is the printing speed of this printer?
A: This printer can print up to 27 ISO pages per minute (ppm).
Q: How can I connect this printer to my devices?
A: The printer offers both wired and wireless connectivity options, including built-in dual-band wireless, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi Direct, and USB 2.0 for local connections.
Q: What is the paper handling capacity of this Brother printer?
A: This printer has a 250-sheet capacity paper tray and a single-sheet manual feed slot.
Q: Does this printer offer duplex printing?
A: Yes, this printer offers automatic duplex printing, allowing you to print on both sides of the page.
Q: Does this printer have a touchscreen?
A: Yes, it features an easy-to-use 2.7-inch touchscreen for navigating settings and print options.
Q: summary says it is "laser quality". Is it laser or inkjet?
A: Probably the best question asked for the product. The assertion implies two distinct things for me: firstly, it implies maybe that the printer's not a laser printer but that it achieves laser quality printing despite that and, secondly, that it is a laser printer that ironically achieves laser quality printing, thereby implying that achieving the one thing it's supposed to achieve is remarkable enough to note that as a feature of the product. It's definitely a laser printer so I guess we're stuck with the manufacturer's implication that they're so amazing that their laser printer can achieve laser quality printing that it must be noted in its description despite it otherwise qualifying as what should be a default capability of said laser printer. C'mon, guys. It's a laser printer. The "laser quality" aspect should just go without saying. If it has to be stated, I worry for the quality of entire product line. Would an auto manufacturer state, "... can achieve highway speeds"? Likely not because it should be capable of at least that by default. lol.
Q: Can this printer copy 2 sided papers as well as just printing 2 sided papers?
A: The Brother HLL3280CDW does not support copying. This machine is only support printing.

Brother printer
Set up not too difficult. Print well, laser jet powder last longer & is much lower cost than ink jet. The printer cost more comparing to other ink jet printer, however the additional cost will be offset by the savings on the ink. Be aware, this particular model does not come with a scanner, for an additional $100, model MFC L3720CDW equipped with a scanner. I recommend this printer.

A Quick Setup For An Everyday Performer!
I had never heard of "Brother" as a company. The name gives you the feeling they have your back. I must say out of the box this printer was very easy to set up. Which I enjoyed very much. This is an everyday performer with no thrills. After removing all the packaging tape and following the directions. I was printing within 10 minutes. The size is a benefit because it doesn't take up much space. It's not too bulky or heavy. This is a Printer, not a scanner or fax. It comes with a touchscreen that is simple to use and read. Even though the screen is small you can still easily view the icons. There is only a power cord that comes alongside it. I do wish it was longer. After updating the firmware which didn't take that long. I connected it to my Windows laptop. It was the simplest Printer I had ever set up. Connecting it to my wireless connection also was a breeze. I know most people don't print much these days with emails and stuff. Yet, when you need to print important documents this will work! The response to Print was fast! I was amazed at how it sent a signal that quickly. The Printer was not very loud as well and not distracting for my taste. I think it can print 27 pages per minute. Not sure if that is fast by today's standards. My prints in Black and White looked amazing. My color prints looked good as well. There is also an app to download where you can print anywhere. I just didn't see a need for it because the setup was so simple and easy. At first, I didn't like having to remove the cartridges to remove the package plastic. Now I see the benefit to it in case you ever have to replace them. It was very intuitive and easy. I see this Printer lasting a Long Time!

An affordable large capacity printer!
Currently having a printer is practically indispensable when it comes to home office or if you have a small business and even more important is to optimize and economize in this area. The ideal is a balance between a printer that is durable, that executes its work effectively and fast, and preferably at the lowest possible cost, since it is a tool that in some cases can be used most of the day every day. This Brother HL-L3280 color printer manages to balance the above mentioned aspects very well. In the box comes the printer, power cord, guides and documentation. The unboxing is quite easy although I must admit that the printer is a bit heavy, however this is compensated in its performance. The ink cartridges, which in this case are 4, Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, come preinstalled in the printer but you have to remove some plastic and security stickers to complete the installation. Then it is necessary to install an app on the cell phone to configure the printer, the same app will indicate the steps to follow to complete this task. Once the printer is connected to the network and configured and registered in the app, you can start printing. It is also possible to connect to a computer via Ethernet or USB. On the top right side the printer theres a 2.7" LED screen from which you can access the settings and print options, it is a well-lit screen that respons very well to the touch and has very intuitive menus, it is easy to use. Regarding the performance I consider it a product that fulfills very well with the tasks and functions for which it was designed. It prints relatively fast, although what I have noticed is that when documents are sent from a mobile device either from the Brother app Mobile Connect or from Apple Print (iOS devices) it takes a little time to receive the document and start printing but once it receives the files printing is quite fast even in full color, the ink quality and color representation is very good. By default the two-sided printing function is activated which in many cases helps to save paper, although one of the things that is recommended is to activate the black and white printing as default to avoid printing color documents unnecessarily and thus activate or select the option to print in color only when it is really necessary. I have been checking the price and durability of the replacement cartridges and it seems a bit ironic but depending on what capacity we want to buy, replacing all the cartridges could be a bit more expensive than buying another new printer, for this reason opting for the Refresh Subscription seems the best alternative as it promises to save up to 50% on ink, of course this will depend on the use of the printer and the needs of each user but in the case of small businesses or for those who do home office I think it is the most convenient, plus the printer comes with a 4 month free trial which makes it even more attractive option. The paper tray has a capacity of 250 sheets and the printer can print up to 27 ppm. One feature that I consider important is that this printer can be connected via WiFi in either 2.4GHz or 5GHz band which is very useful when you have 5GHz band compatible devices connected to a single network. If you have cloud services such as Google Drive, Evernote, Dropbox, etc., you can connect to the printer to print from these services. It is also possible to print remotely via email or web, the files are sent to the printer to later enter the password given by the system to be able to print the files that were sent remotely. Something to consider si that this printer only prints, does not scan or copy, so if you need these features in your printer this is not for you. Also to consider that even though it is a relatively compact printer it is a bit heavy 34 lbs, so it is important to have a place to install it to avoid continually moving it. In conclusion I can say that this is a solid product that satisfactorily fulfills its purpose which is to print, either in black and white or color, including photographs, the print quality is very good. Being a printer that has cartridges that can last up to 3000 prints, it is a recommended product for those who work from home or have a small business. If you need a printer (that only prints) of medium capacity and that prints a lot of documents quickly, this is an alternative that I can recommend.
