This printer is excellent and set up was a breeze. I would recommend this printer for all your laser printer needs.
A workhorse! Second one. Last one lasted 10 years!

Excellent Printer! Great Quality! Very reliable and easy to use! I only buy this brand of printer - Brother and it has never let me down. Purchased as a replacement for an older version of this same printer - which I have been using since 2016 and it is still going strong. Only reason I purchased a second is that new mac laptop operating system would not talk to the older Brother driver. I could not be more pleased with this printer. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable printer/scanner that is cost effective on ink. Brother all the way!

This is my second Brother laser printer - same model. The first one lasted me almost 10 years until the drum needed replacing. Still worked but I decided to just get a new one instead of replacing the drum. Working well and as it should. Hope it lasts 10 years like the last one - we'll see!

This has been a real nice all-in-one wireless laser printer and scanner. We use it often and it works great. It doesn't use much space. It is economical on the toner which lasts for a long time. I highly recommend it.

Having owned my first brother printer from Best Buy. Connected via a cable. I purchased my first wireless brother printer, and it works great! My whole family is connected, and we can all print from one printer now! Thank you, Best Buy!

We tried other brands until we bought the first Brother printer 7 years ago. It was the best brand so therefore we bought another one. It is reliable and the toner is pretty affordable compared to other brands.

This Brother laser printer is fast and relatively quiet while printing or scanning. I like the fact that it interfaced easilyy with my scanner program and file manager. Just go to Brother's website to download the printer and scanner driver package. It installed eaily from my surfcae pro laptop and my Dell work laptop. It can also be added as a printer scanner thru the control panel.
Brother give a free Paperport version 14 scanner program. It does a great job of scanning in different modes, tif, pdf, jpg, etc. I bought the full current version which provided even better options.
Scanning duplex pages is smooth and simple thanks to the built in auto feeder. I had no problem scanning a stack of 17 pages. I'm sure it can handle more. The scanned pages came out clear and pages fairly straight. No stray lines or dots.
My iPads (I have a few versions), Surface Pro PC, motorola stylus cell phone, iOS 13 cell all printed as expected with little to no problems. They were all on my home network (6-G).
You have the option to use your wireless WI-FI or cable network as well as USB cable. Set up went easiest from my iPad via the Brother app. You can specify the network name and password via the printers display and keybaord if you want to go old school.
All in all the toner cartridge produces great graphics and text, Brother includes a few months free if you sign up for their toner mail program. If you use this in a work environment or have a heavier than normal home use, its a very economical option. Plus the machine knows when its running low and can be set to replenish you toner automatically.

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.

This 2640 printer is one good household or small office printer....it is a little workhorse. And Brother support by phone is available at no additional cost, through your ownership. This is the upgrade from its brother the 2395, I believe, which I also had for years. This printer hooked up to wireless easily, it makes good copies, is fast and it works well from my mobile phone. I think it's worth it to purchase the 4 year extended warranty from Best Buy For a little additional insurance down the road.

The Brother DCP-L2640DW is the little machine that can do it all. Printing, scanning, copying--all easy to do. Set up is basically plug-n-play. All functions perform well. Printing and copying is sharp and crisp. Scanning is in color and works well. The only downside is that there is no 2-sided scanning, copying ability. That's minor. All in all a good buy at Best Buy.

This Brother - DCP-L2640DW Wireless Black-and-White 3-in-1 Laser Printer is a great 3-in-1 laser printer, scanner, and copier. The setup was simple, and I had no problems at all setting up the device and the software. Once installed the rest was great as well. As far as the operation of the device goes, it works very well. Although it has a moderate footprint, it’s not bad for doing all that it does. First of all it’s pretty fast at printing, scanning, and copying. The automatic document feeder is fantastic. It holds 50 pages, and they can be double sided. The printer prints double sided as well. The paper tray holds 250 sheets of paper. It takes letter size and legal size paper. You can also scan and print on a variety of envelopes. This is a wireless device, or you can use a USB cable to connect to your computer. You can print from your phone or tablet as well. This is not a fax machine. The software does a variety of things, and the settings are self explanatory, so they are easy to follow. This is a great laser printer, scanner and copier for home, home business, small business, and even students.
