Brother HL2250DN Review

To meet the requirements of many homes and small businesses that have a limited budget but need a network printer to be used together on many computers, Brother developed an HL-2250DN entry-level mono laser printer.

This is only the case for those who migrate to laser models for the first time because it is cheap, uses only a little table space, and is easy to set up and use. Besides, it has an attractive black coating so it won’t be seen out of place in the room in case it needs to move there from work.

The introductory guide provided on a two-sided A2 sheet, and there are two CDs – one with the driver along with the utility and the other has documentation. USB and also network operations for PC and Mac also included.

Installing it as a network machine finally becomes easy and results in printing a duplex test page. The paper tray has a total capacity of 250 sheets. Besides, there is a one-page manual bypass type of mailbox that can be adjusted to fit the extent of the paper used.

Printer properties provide a whole collection of possibilities. The standard resolution is 600 dpi, with the other options being 300 and also HiQ 1200 dpi. After that, in addition to conventional quality paper, various arrangements include thin, thick, thicker paper envelopes and labels. However, although I feel very satisfying in most types of stock, even with the back door of the printer open to be able to provide a direct paper path, the edge of the trail of an inexpensive envelope eventually shrinks whenever it put into portrait orientation. It resolved by placing it in landscape style.

Claims of up to 26 pages per minute look optimistic when I count the time at 24ppm. Even so, this is a trivial matter. Even more important is the fact that it only takes about 10 seconds to wake up from sleep mode and print the first page. In sleep mode, the energy usage is less than 1W, so the model must consume under 1 unit of electricity even if it has been left to stay around for hours for a month.

This comes with a “starter” toner cartridge that will print around 700 pages. Users then get the option to buy 1,200 or 2,600 pages of the Brother HL2250DN printer toner cartridge.

While it is possible to know reducing costs, there is no USB and or network interface cable offered. However, it would certainly be helpful if this simple fact listed on the outer surface of the box. This will most likely stop the buyer after just removing it from the table, knowing that they have to go and buy one.

This printer, which valued at £ 127 + VAT, must be able to handle cost-effectively with almost all mono printing needs at home or small offices and also, at the same time, will not look out of place in every environment. As a result, it may be an attractive proposition for many people.
