    Fast scanner. Toner empty too soon.

    Pro: Fast auto document feeder. Con: Toner that came with it only lasted two months! My old bare bone brother lazer printer lasts about a year before replacing. Also, this one did not come with the touch screen like my old one, which made it seem cheap and navigating through the menu is rough.

    I returned this because the touchscreen was horrible! I homeschool and print stuff a lot!!! I do a ton of double-sided printing and it was not a simple process to get that and didn't have the ability to make a shortcut like my prior brother. I got a different model and it's much better.

      Thanks for taking the time to review your experience with the Brother DCPL2640DW. We appreciate your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you did not get the toner yield not as expected with the Brother DCPL2640DW. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

      If you feel you aren't getting the correct yield out of your toner cartridge, consider the following:

      1. Is the toner cartridge the starter cartridge that came with the machine or is it a replacement toner cartridge?

      If the toner cartridge is the starter cartridge that came with the machine, the start cartridge has a lower amount of toner compared to the standard and high yield replacement cartridges and doesn't yield as high a page count as the replacement toners.

      I have included a link to the FAQ answer that should assist you. Please follow all the steps listed in the following link:

    I bought a Brothers printer and geek squad support. When I called after it did not work, the geek squad person referred me to tech support and a $40 charge to try to fix it. I refused and went to the store. Geek squad is coming to my house. I spent 40 minutes of wasted time on the phone.

    Brother DCP-L2640DW printer is one of the fastest printers I’ve ever used. For black and white copies this thing does a fantastic job with all the features that it has. Wireless printing worked so effortlessly with the WiFi network; that’s because this was one of the easiest printers to set up. The Brothers app gave me a little trouble setting up but manually used the LCD screen to connect to WiFi. DCP-L2640DW looks nice inside an office and there is a fax feature here as well. Making. Copies of a document were less than a few seconds with each print. Laptops, Tablets, and cell phones are all connected to the printer without a problem. The packaging was perfect and nothing was broken inside the printer when received. I’ve had a good time printing with this one for B&W documentation. It’s one of the best if you are looking for a printer without color and prints at an insane speed. It’s perfect for a printer and that alone deserves 5/5 stars. I never had a printer where I set it up with the speed and quickest that I did. No issues concerning WiFi connectivity. As far as ease of use go this is up there on my list. Without being a tech guy I would recommend this printer to anyone.

    Running an in-home business requires a reliable printer/copy machine that can handle lots of printing. With so many brands in the market, it may seem hard to decide what to go with. With a reputation like brother’s, you really can’t go wrong. I’ve used many of their products in the past and have never been disappointed. So, I decided to go with the Brother - DCP-L2640DW for my in-home business. The setup is super easy. The app makes everything even easier, and has so many useful features for any business. The prints are nice and clear, and without any problems so far. You have multiple connection options that make it super efficient. Another big plus is the compact design of the printer that allows me to put it just about anywhere in my office/home business. The huge box made me think it was going to be big and heavy, but I was surprised at how light it is. As for print speeds, being that it is a black and white printer, the Brother - DCP-L2640DW is really fast. I am able to print a loan signing packet super quickly with this printer. Like many other brands, brother has an ink/toner subscription service that helps me to not run out of toner. The only downside to it is the fact that I can’t print in color. That would definitely be a great option when trying to print flyers for your business. Overall, the Brother - DCP-L2640DW is a great addition to my in-home business. I would definitely record it to anyone.
