HL 2040 Toner Cartridge – The Bank Friendly And Trustworthy Printer
Size and type options: The printer is a little fussy when it comes to certain paper types and sizes. It will accept standard, legal, letter, A4 and special sizes. However large quantities of any type or size will have to be manually fed for example envelopes. The paper tray is rather clever in that it will not allow you to load any thick media. Look for Brother HL 2040 toner.
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.
Control Panel: The Brother HL 2040 Printer control panel is very user-friendly and straightforward with three warning lights and one “Go’ button for starting, cancelling, waking and error clearing of print jobs. The drivers loaded onto your computer will be your primary control panel.
Print quality: This black laser printer produces a rather impressive twenty pages per minute at 2400×600 dpi with Brother 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.
No upgrading: No upgrading options in terms of additional trays for increased printing demand or double sided printing are available on this model.
Ports available: You will have to settle for the quite old fashioned port options of Parallel and USB and keep in mind that you cannot upgrade to wireless or Ethernet.
Brother HL 2040 cartridge is included. Brother printer cartridge cost approximately US Dollars 60.00.
