Brother Hl-2170W ? Built In Wireless In A Home Laser Printer

It’s hard to top the Brother HL-2140 laser printer for speed and versatility for the price, but take the base unit and add wireless 802.11b/g capabilities and an Ethernet port for use with your home or offices wired or wireless network and it’s a start. Upgrade the memory to 32mb for faster processing of complex projects, and include PCL6 capabilities for compatibility with a wide range of additional software for both PC and Mac, and you have the Brother HL-2170w, a variation on a solid base unit with some additional bells and whistles to meet a wide range of small business demands.

The Brother HL-2170w is suitable for a small office in functionality, but can easily fit snugly in your home with its compact size and small footprint, standing at under seven inches tall, it fits where cumbersome industrial grade laser printers couldn’t squeeze in. It also comes in a non-offensive grey and white surface color scheme, with a sleek and stylish exterior, so having one sitting on your desk at home wont make you feel like you’re at a Kinko’s.

For such a reasonably sized unit, its print speed delivers, bringing on a rapid 23 pages per minute in clear, black and white text. Even firing out documents at that speed, the HL-2170w keeps it clean and clear with a maximum print resolution of HQ1200 standard (up to 2400 x 600 dpi).

Even with the upgraded features in the HL-2170w, this unit’s base features do not fail to impress. The single sheet adjustable manual bypass slot is particularly cool, allowing you to skip the 250 sheet capacity print tray and front load oddly shaped envelopes or letterhead by hand through a front panel. Whether you’re using this feature to print text to documents that would be impossible to use with other printers, or simply utilizing this model’s 10,000 page maximum monthly duty cycle, be sure to try out the efficient toner saver mode, which will cut down toner usage drastically with very little loss to overall quality of printed text.

Ever wish you could print documents from any computer in the house? With the Brother HL-2170w, wireless networking to the printer has never been easier thanks to the one-push wireless configuration, users with a SecureEasySetup™, AOSS™ or Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ capable router can automatically configure the device to their wireless network settings.

Thanks to Brother’s innovative engineering, paper jams are almost non existent even when pushing this printer to the limit. This is due to successive engineering improvements Brother has implemented in all its hardware, making their printers some of the most reliable on the market.

If you’re looking to purchase a compact laser printer suitable for home use, and powerful enough for a small business with light printing demands, the range of high end consumer level products is where you should be looking, and Brother is leading the field with this solid, fast, and stylish unit built for convenience, the Brother HL-2170w.
