Super compact: The Brother HL 2040 Printer good value for money while being small and cute weighing in at 14.3 pounds and measuring at 6.5 x 14.6 x 14.2 inches and 250 page drawer. The design is a little conventional, so don’t expect it to win the prize for looks but in terms of space saving it is definitely top on the list with the size of an inkjet printer. This laser is perfect for everyday use and text printing. Also check out Brother HL 2040 replacement toners.
Easy Controls: The Brother HL 2040 Printers’ controls on the build in panel is exceptionally easy and straightforward. Three LED lights indicate warnings and a single buttons controls print start, cancel, error clearing restarts and waking from sleep mode. Primary control will be done from you computer via software drivers included with printer software.
User-friendly Panel: The Brother HL 2040 Printer control panel easy to understand with only a couple of warning light- three to be exactly and only one button to start printing under various conditions such as waking, error clearing, general start-up and cancelling. Your computer will be the main printer control as the software provides for handling different operation situations from you computer instead of the printer itself.
Print quality: This black laser printer produces a rather impressive twenty pages per minute at 2400×600 dpi with HL 2040 printer toner, thus a flashy little worker with good quality laser printing for home. Text printing is good with font sizes set as low as four points still being easy to read with some jagged edging on diagonals as well as blemishing. Overall standards are very low. A great challenge achieved by the Brother HL 2040 Printer is the printing of closely spaced bold character still remaining separate. However photo and graphics quality is not good at all, to be honest just a cut above poor, with grained line art, obvious dithers, posterization and blow-out appearances with dark being overdone and highlights totally washed out. The printer also has two other great disadvantage in the form of a page curl tendency and askew printing on envelopes.
No upgrading: Unfortunately, the printer does not come with optional extra’s to invest in. What you see is what you get. If you want to print more than 250 pages or do double printing rather opt for another model as trays are not sold separately.
Port options: The printer comes standard with Parallel and USB ports and no upgrading options to wireless or Ethernet.
Toner: Brother HL 2040 Toner comes standard with a start-up 1500 page print capacity cartridge. Upon replacement you will pay approximately US Dollars 60.00 and for the printers drum assembly that needs replacement with every 12 000 pages for US Dollars 115.00.
