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.

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.

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.

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!

Brother 3-in-1 wireless black and white laser printer was recently purchased. I have to say is excellent. It was easy to attach to my WiFi. All you do is turn the printer on and go to your email and hit print. It prints out quickly. I had another one that was 15 years old and finally gave up. Am very happy with my new Brother printer. Worth the money.

This is definitely a work horse for a small office or home office or busy home.
My kids, wife, and myself all use and need printers and scanners for what we do and having one machine that is convenient for us is a plus.
So let's start with setup.
Setup was ok. Not the easiest. You have to be a little tech savvy to get this puppy up and running.
Using the android phone was somewhat easy. But setting up on PC was not 100% per the instructions. PC said to download the Brother utility. I tried to do that but it did not work. I had to use standard windows setup and look for updated drivers. That worked.
Also unlike other brother multifunctional devices this one DOES NOT WORK with scanning to Google drive or another cloud service. You have to have an FTP site already setup. There is a work around to get google drive to do this but I did not venture off to do this.
After setup I was up and running. I had 5 PCs connected and 3 smart phones all connected too.
Printing was easy. Scanning with phone was easy using Brother app. Scanning via PC Windows scanner was easy too.
Max dpi is 300.
So if you want more dpi keep looking. But for most office material 300 dpi is enough. If you are doing high graphics keep looking.
Printing was super quick. Buffering was nearly zero. And ppm was good. Monochrome resolution was good too.
For these specs and for bulk office monochrome high production this is a good work horse. For that I would recommend it for that.

The Brother DCP-L264DW Monochrome Laser Printer is a multipfunction laser printer that fits my home office needs. The printer, copier and scanner functions make it a versitile choice for those looking for a all-in-one solution. The price is decent as well for a laser printer. However, if you like a quiet machine - this might not be the machine for you. It was very easy to set up tight out of the box.
The printing and copy speed is decent. It prints up to 36 pages per minute. It handles two sided copies with ease, providing crisp and clear prints. However one downsde to this printer for me is the noise level. It tends to be quite loud during the printing and copying processes. It's not as obnoxious as a inkjet printer - but it definitly could be quieter.
You will find that you have to download an app to use the scan function on your PC. Once downloaded, it is easy to use. It also has a free app that you can download to your phone to print wirelessly from your phone.
The toner cartridge that comes with the printer says it should yiedl about 700 pages. I checked the the price online for replacements and it is aout $50 for the standard 1,200 page toner and $80 for the XL toner yielding 3,000 pages.
All in all, this is a good laser printer for a good price.

Very nice printer, works very well over wifi and wired connection. Scan and copy feature is super nice. Minor issue when scanning, the boarder of the paper gets cut off. Outside of this, for the price the printer works great.

The easiest setup I have ever had for printer/scanner. Took under 5 minutes and I was able to use all of the functions !!
Great print and copy quality. Highly recommend you check it out.

Printer has performed flawlessly in every aspect. Clean, precise prints via wifi, excellent scanning and copying. Even the ink cartridge seems to be holding up well for the number of pages printed.

Over the course of my 70 year long career I've owned many printers. This printer is by far the best B&W printer I've ever owned or used. It is reliable, simple to use and, best of all, easy on the pocket book.

I found it easy to setup (plugged it into the network), and install software for (downloaded software package from Brother website for Win 10). I'm not sure how another reviewer had problems putting the toner cartridge in. I just opened the bag, removed the protective pieces, opened the printer door, and placed it in. Very easy.
The prints are sharp as expected. It prints on two sides (duplex) automatically. This avoids the hassle of figuring out how to print odd pages, reload the printer, and print even pages on the other side of the paper.
The scanner software is a bit basic. It feels like the user interface is from the early 2000s, but it works. The auto-document feeder (ADF) works well when scanning and is a great convenience.
This is the 3rd Brother laser printer I've owned in the last 20 years. I would still have the last one, but I moved states and had a limited amount of things I could bring with me. The first one was a print only model and working great when I updated it with the second.
The printer feels light, but so did my previous one which lasted 10 years (and was still running). It's easy to move.
Recommendation: Stick with the Brother branded toner.
I know this sounds like a paid ad, but it's not. I've been very disappointed with the "refills" and the reconditioned cartridges. The off brand toner may be half the price, but I always got grey prints or vertical lines on the paper. The Brother branded toner always gives me clean, sharp prints.

This printer is perfect for my home office. I have a few products by Brother but this one is definitely essential. I don’t usually need color printing done so this was perfect for me. I can print large documents quickly and be on the go. I’ve had HP, Epson, and other brands but this printer is by far the best.
