Brother HL-L2400D Compact Double Sided Printing Monochrome Laser Printer, USB Connector, Black and White Output

Nothing fancy here - just a great USB / Ethernet Wired Laser Printer that has a great reputation for reliability and long life. This came without a USB cable. The included "starter" Toner should do about 700 standard pages. I ordered an XL Toner Cartridge which should do about 3,000 standard pages .... that's probably 10 years, for basic general home use for this old guy. The specs say the image drum should be replaced after 15,000 pages .... I'll be long gone before I get anywhere near that. Anyway, I love the simplicity and speed of this printer. The resolution is up to 1200 dots per inch, but even at the default 600 DPI my prints are very dark and very sharp. The software was an easy install and works perfect.y on my Widows 10 notebook. I noted that this printer works on Linux systems, too. I bought this printer because I'm giving my old Pantuum Laser to my granddaughter; in 3rd grade and already needs a printer. I've only received the printer today and I'm absolutely loving it. The manual feed tray works smoothly with adhesive label sheets and the labels feed and print perfectly. I do volunteer work and that's my primary use for this printer. NOTE: This printer draws 450 watts when printing and 45 watts on Standby. It has an an engergy-saving feature that powers-off the printer after it sits idle for awhile. Just tap the round Power button and you're back to printing in a few seconds. I find this auto-power-off feature very handy in my home office because even my Notebook goes to sleep when I leave it for too long and everyone forgets to turn things off. This is my second Brother Printer and it's defintely one of the best purchases I;ve made this year.

Excellent and simple to use "non-smart" printer with auto-duplex! Plug and play set up but you need to provide your own USB-A male to USB-B male cable. Works fine out of the box but the default print mode is loud! There is a "Quiet Mode" setting that greatly reduces printing noise by using a slower printing speed, although I have not noticed a difference in print speed. Per the online user's guide, simply turn the printer on, push the "Go" button 11 times and all the LEDs will blink twice, indicating that Quite Mode is enabled. You can also enable "Continue Mode" so that the printing continues printing even if it thinks the toner is low. Push the "Go" button 7 times and all the LEDs will blink twice, indicating that Continue Mode is enabled. Now you can continue printing until the toner is truly out of powder. Also, while the printer has no networking features, you are able to share it over the network from within Windows. The only downside is the connected computer has to be on in order for you to print from other computers on the network.

My husband is delighted with the Brother printer since his older one didn’t work with is new laptop. This printer was so easy to install. It’s fast printing and documents look great. Definitely recommend this monotone printer for anyone, not to heavy or large either. Came in it’s box safely and quickly.

This printer has NO wifi capability, does not connect to Apple airprint and does not come with the Brother proprietary connection cables. Basically it's a brick.

I struggled trying to get this set up, but found (after frustrating waits for customer service), that this printer isn’t compatible with Apple. I wasted time and money, and now need to find a way to donate this to a Windows friend. Beware of the new Brothers printers. I tried another one that was “compatible”, but it was a nightmare to set up with wifi. They want you to set up using their mobile app. Although this eventually worked for a while until I replaced the ink with non-genuine Brother ink, and then it worked no more. The company can read how much you’ve printed, and other trackable things, and probably decided to scramble things when I didn’t buy their own brand of ink.
