Brother HL-2150N Printer Review

Provided that there's a need to print plain and simple documents, there will always be a requirement for plain and simple mono printers, in particular those that can cope with the load while using minimal degree of hassle, as rapidly as is possible along with the utmost readability. It was with these last three aspects to mind that Brother presented the most up-to-date products with the HL-2100 series.

While all three models appear very much the same, the HL-2140 is definitely geared towards people with the smallest budget, the HL-2170W sits at the very top end due to wireless and wired network support integrated, and that simply leaves the HL-2150N seated straight in the centre, having network capability through an Ethernet cable.

Square and squat, unassumingly decked out in grey and black, this particular modest device happens to be a mere 368 x 361 x 170.5mm and weighs in at only 6.8Kg.

Establishing the network connection is really a piece of cake. Make use of the furnished CD to install your printer driver by way of the USB connection and then plug a network cable from printer to hub and once more comply with the guidelines upon the CD for Network Cable Users. After that, hey presto, you are equipped to function. The provided Quick Setup Guide in addition details guidelines for Mac (OS X 10.2.4 or greater) and also Linux users and it's Windows Vista friendly.

There is very little with respect to exterior monitoring; there is no big LCD, merely three LED indicator lights with regards to Toner, Drum and Error and also a larger Go button. The main paper tray at the front supports 250 A4 sheets and there is an independent manual slot where you can feed in one sheet at a time (convenient for labels as well as transparencies).

It is pretty improbable that you'll be making use of this particular model for virtually any big business print runs since the output tray can just deal with 100 sheets and you will need to feed all of them in once again if you need double-sided results.

Nevertheless, whilst it merely has 16MB memory (the HL-2170W features double this amount), it makes the most of it to be able to generate a quoted 22ppm maximum speed at a print resolution of 2,400 x 600dpi, with the initial sheet zipping out in under ten seconds. Thus if perhaps you have a modest network and your printing demands are generally simple as well as far from too voluminous, this ought to tick every one of your boxes.

The Brother HL2150N printer toner cartridge, when it is taken out from the silver packaging, slides simply directly into its front housing and comes in a couple of available sizes - Standard (which is usually good for 1,500 A4 pages) and High Yield (2,600 A4 pages) - while the Drum Unit will reach to 12,000 A4 pages.

Brother is creating a good reputation for making compact, no-frills as well as extremely effective printers and this mid device within the HL-2100 collection really should be a perfect option for small businesses as well as home users having modest printing needs.
