Brother states that the HL-2270DW is the the planet's most small duplex (two-sided) laser printer, and we unquestionably can't identify a more compact one. As the number one unit in Brother's fresh small laser range, that replaces the also diminutive HL-2100 range, it can easily likewise hook up to a wired or wireless network. It comes with a regular 1,200-page toner cartridge; some other devices inside the collection contain smaller starter cartridges.
Made out of hard, dark plastics, the HL-2270DW should not jump out equally at home or in an office, however it is not going to attract admiring glances. The two shades of dark grey used do not quite match up, along with an inset output tray in black plastic, at the front of which happens to be a smallish step to help stop printed sheets from flying off. Certainly the flip down manual feed slot, made in gloss black, gives a bit of class.
The manual feed slot enables you to put in envelopes or alternative special media one at a time. Picking the envelope paper kind in the driver turns the model to a straight paper path in order to make sure they emerge devoid of significant creases or curling. It's a sensible tactic, however you do need to unlock the rear cover to apply it, and therefore the machine can not be located right against a wall. For normal prints, there's a simple 250-sheet paper tray.
It's quick and easy to put together, but even though the toner and drum are delivered in position, you'll want to take them out and give them a brief shake prior to use. Without any display, you could be expecting difficulty getting the unit onto a wireless network, however , you may make use of Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or even let Brother's installer assist you. The second option configures the unit with a temporary USB connection.
The HL-2270DW's speed is notable. The first sheet of a common job showed up within 11 seconds, with others joining it at just below 23ppm. In duplex mode this decreased to 11 duplex pages a minute. Brother's driver opens with a basic Print Profiles tab which helps you rapidly choose settings with regard to common jobs, such as 'Toner save print' or perhaps 'two-sided (duplex) print'. More specialized settings are located on the Basic tab, with the Advanced tab giving more control. The default final results making use of the Brother HL2270DW printer cartridge have solid black text as well as well-detailed, crisp business graphics with well-controlled shading. Pictures were also fine by the standards of mono lasers, with very little banding.
With the model barely launched, we could merely determine operating rates using the cost of the latest 2,600-page high yield toner cartridges. Determined by this, each page costs a large 2.7p even if you don't need to change the 12,000-page drum, and consequently we can not totally vouch for the HL-2270DW, despite the numerous strengths. Nevertheless, we would are expecting prices to drop as supplies become available, in which case it'll turn into a good choice for sharing in the home or perhaps a micro business.
