Brother - HL-L2480DW Wireless Black-and-White Refresh Subscription Eligible 3-in-1 Laser Printer - Gray

good printer, copier, scanner combination . fair price. works well, not too simple of a setup. prints look good. nice compact size. I'd recommend it.

***Setup:*** Setting up the Brother HL-L2480DW is easy. Unbox, install the cartridge, connect it, turn it on, and download the app. Wi-Fi connection can be established through the app, and after a quick firmware update, it's ready to use. You can also use Ethernet and USB-B. The process is quick, taking about 10 minutes from unboxing to printing. ***Build Quality:*** The Brother HL-L2480DW is sturdy and well-built, fitting well into home or small office environments and only taking up a moderate amount of space. You will need some room on each side to access the different panels, paper tray and scanner lid. Its sturdy and lets you know, coming in at over 22 lbs. ***Ease of Use:*** The Brother is actually pretty intuitive. Navigation is simple enough, thanks to its color touchscreen and reasonable menu layout. The onscreen keyboard is a bit frustrating if you have a more complicated WiFi password, though. ***Mobile Compatibility:*** The Brother integrates with various devices through Wi-Fi direct, Google Print, and AirPrint. Printing can be achieved from either PCs or mobile devices (phones, tablets) with very little delay. Mobile printing and scanning are supported through the Brother Mobile Connect smartphone app. The printer can also link to cloud storage services and offers secure print job capability. ***Print Quality and Speed:*** With over 30 page per minute printing speed, the Brother HL-L2480DW outperforms many inkjet printers. Its laser technology delivers sharp, professional-looking prints, perfect for business documents and reports. It's notably faster and more efficient than inkjet, saving time - especially with multi-page documents. This isn’t the one to get for photo quality prints, however. You will notice banding. ***Scan Quality:*** The scanner works well for converting documents and photos to digital format, producing clear, legible scans. The Brother lacks an automatic document feeder, however, making it somewhat time-consuming for larger projects. This may work in a pinch, but for regular scanning of multiple pages, a dedicated document scanner with a feed tray would quickly pay for itself in time consumed/saved. One reason for this is the lack of automatic duplex scanning: you have to flip things over yourself. I personally will be using the scanner to place things on and save vertical space, as I already have an auto-feeding scanner. ***Conclusion:*** Overall, the Brother HL-L2480DW is an excellent choice for those in need of a fast, reliable, and affordable black and white laser printer for home or small office use. While it lacks color printing and an automatic document feeder, it offers fast printing speeds, decent scan and copy quality, and versatile connectivity options.

The HL L2480DW Printer by Brother is compact yet it is useful for home as well as a small business. First it arrives well packaged and it is ready to print right away, the setup was easy, it comes with instructions, power cable and a starter black toner, safety guide and other reading material as well as the QR Code for very easy to setup the printer as well as ordering more toner by subscription. I like that the printer can do many things, print, copy and scan. And I really like that it has a touchscreen in front to do almost everything, including making a copy, scan, and the scan can be sent to the computer or the cloud. Toner: Brother offers plenty of Plans for toner subscription and the plans are from the Basic to print about 25 pages a month, Ocassional about 100 pages a month, Moderate 300 pages a month, High 700 pages a month, Power 1500 pages a month, and in all the plans there are pages you can carry over to the following month. The print quality is excellent, it prints fast at up to 36ppm and they look great and something else to really like is the duplex printing, saving paper and space. Wireless, I can print from my phone, my laptop and my computer wirelessly and with a holder of up to 250 papers I can print all day. Something else I really like from the Brother printer is the scan function to OCR so it scans and makes the document an editable text page, I really like it because I no longer have to retype a document, it does it for me. The printer is compatible with Windows Mac, Linux and Chrome OS and mobile using AirPrint, Brother Mobile Connect, Mopria, WiFi Direct, so plenty of options. I like how quiet, fast and efficient my new printer is, it has toner so I do not have to worry about the ink to dry, toner is dry already and last longer, and there are plenty of options on buying toner from either subscription or different yields.
