The Brother HL-2270DW is better than the HL-2240 as it has everything that makes the latter a good printer plus some extra features. It is more expen29MBsive, but the added price is worth it, at least for those who need a printer that can do more.

It is a very good laser printer capable of churning out only black and white pages which every office should have in order to cut costs in printing text documents. Graphic quality may not live up to some users’s expectation, but the speed is undoubtedly impressive for the price.

Features and Highlights

When printing text documents, the Brother HL-2270DW can run at up to 27 pages per minute, which can drop to 10 pages per minute when running in duplex mode. Though running much slower, the duplex unit can reduce paper costs especially in home offices that print quite a lot.

Another feature of the Brother HL-2270DW that you can make use of to save money on papers is the N-up Printing. It lets you print several pages on to a single page. The money saving may not be significant but it does help a bit.

The Brother HL-2270DW comes with a starter toner cartridge that only allows you to print about 1,000 pages. After it runs out, it can be replaced with a standard cartridge that can last more.

The high-yield toner cartridge, which is the most expensive option yet can save your money in the long run, provides more inks that can yield approximately 2,600 pages.

Documents with graphics that need to be presented at best quality can be printed at the highest resolution, but for less critical documents you may want to take advantage of the Toner Save mode. The output quality will be reduced but the toner will last longer. If you combine this mode with the printing feature that compresses a number of pages on to a single sheet, you will be able to save even more money.

Printing can be done wirelessly since the printer supports 802.11b/g wireless connectivity. Connecting the printer to a network is not difficult. It takes around ten minutes to set it up. Moreover, you’ll get a bunch of network tools to manage your Brother printers with ease such as Web-based Management, Web-BRAdmin, and BRAdmin Light.

The networking functionality offers three choices. In addition to the wireless network, the other two are 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet and USB 2.0. It also has 32MB of onboard memory that can help you print a bit more effortlessly.
