Brother - DCP-L2640DW Wireless Black-and-White Refresh Subscription Eligible 3-in-1 Laser Printer - Gray

If you’re in the market for a printer for a small office then look no further. This Brother printer DCP-L2640DW is a beast at productivity when it matters most. It come well packaged and was very simple to pull out and situate where I wanted it to go. Keep in mind this is a bigger than your normal home style printer, so it needs some space. Once I got it setup I followed the instruction manual and was connected to WiFi and I ever hard lined it in. It does come with dual band wireless which helped the range for printing from my laptop across the office. This is nice as can be placed in a central location and everyone can connect to it. Testing it out I wanted to put it through its paces, and how else then to print large documents! I print in black and white for legal reason so this printer was perfect for that workload. I printed to large documents totaling 64 pages. I timed it and it took from the moment I sent to print 2 mins and 4 seconds. That was pretty impressive to me as zero errors, zero smudging and smears. Everything was crisp and clear. I tried some duplex printing and the outcome was the same it did take a little longer as expect but no issues. The scanner function was nice as it allowed me to choose my device I was scanning the pdf document to. The Copy function looked amazing and didn’t loose and detail in the paper I was copying. Overall the Brother printer performs very well with deep dark black thanks to its toner. If you are a high volume printer snag the XL toner cartridge will be worth it. I can’t express how amazing this printer is and is now the workhorse of the office!

The brother DCP L2640DW is a simple but quality B&W laser printer that will be trust worthy in any home or business. While it is a multi functional printer it is a good size. Not too large or small and it’s actually compact compared to many other laser multi functional printers. Cons that would make think before purchasing this printer. -a small user screen although you don’t use it often when you use it you want it to be simple while this is simple it’s too simple and you have to go looking through the settings in order to find what you want because you can only see one thing at a time. A 3 inch colored screen would have been perfect. -all printers now have Wi-Fi. I’m not sure why this has a Wi-Fi button rather it just being exciting that you could turn off within the screen if need be. However, well the button is not a big deal it is large, very bright and green. Eliminating this button would’ve allowed more room on the panel and could’ve accommodated that larger screen that I was discussing. Pros of why I would buy this printer. -Brother always offers affordable and reliable ink. -this printer is quiet and just seems to be well built and reliable. I would expect nothing less than years of use without troublesome. -The features that you need all wrapped up in a printer. Print what you need and you need it at speed. 36 pages per minute. -Multi page scanning. -250 page capacity to load up half a pack of paper. All in all a great printer for reliability and home to business use. I recommend this printer.

I've owned printers of almost every brand, at home and in my offices throughout the years. I don't remember if I ever had a Brother printer that was inkjet, although I've owned inkjet's made by all the other major name brands. The past Brother laser printers has all worked flawlessly and have lasted me many years so I expect this particular unit to be no different. I got this particular model because I didn't need all the functions that some of the other ones have. This unit is mainly for my kids use and it's mainly school work. Copy or print is what we mostly do at home but this unit is also capable of scanning. The wife use that function every so often but I use a different machine for scanning. The prints that comes out of this machines has been fast and clear. Taking the unit out of the box the unit is slightly larger than most inkjet printers. Please keep that in mind when purchasing this printer to make sure you have the space. This unit was larger than the unit it was replacing so I had to find another location for it. Set up took under 5 minutes. I think it took longer to remove all the tape and protective covering on the printer LOL. After placing the printer where I wanted, I took the toner out and inserted into the printer. Downloaded the app and then plugged in the unit. Turned it on and press the "wifi" button for 2 seconds and the app found the printer. Follow the instructions and within minutes the printer was working. I went to my laptop and it quickly found the new printer, and within a minute, I was able to print from my computer. Super easy. And I think why this is the perfect, simple printer. Easy to set up, crisp clear and fast printing. And, at a great price for a laser printer. And if it's like any of my other older Brother printers, it's gonna last a long time.
