If you are looking for a laser printer to use in a home office or SoHo with a lot of document output, how about investing an additional 100,000 won to purchase a multifunction device that supports double-sided printing, copying, scanning, and faxing? It has a high usability and will be good to use over and over again.
However, even though we know that the printing speed is much faster than the inkjet method, which helps to increase work efficiency, ‘Wouldn’t it be too expensive?’ There are many cases that are taken out of the choice in the first place because of the worry about doing it. The products I will introduce here are good value for money, so I recommend you to keep an eye on them.
The main character is the Brother MFC-L2700DW laser all-in-one. Brother is a brand that has established a strong presence not only in Korea but also in more than 50 countries around the world with reliable and reliable home and office printing devices. The products I actually use in my work, as I personally try and write reviews on products from various manufacturers, are also theirs. High performance, quality and durability are key.
Let’s start with the exterior. First of all, although it is a multifunction device that can perform various roles other than a laser printer, the compact size that takes up less space than expected catches the eye. (409 x 398 x 316.5mm, 11.4kg) The design is okay, but personally, I wonder what it would have been like if white or black was applied rather than the neutral gray color.
One of the reasons the MFC-L2700DW, released in 2014, is still popular is its Wi-Fi support. If the wireless router installed in the used space supports WPS/AOSSTM, you can easily make it a network shared printer without installing and setting device drivers on your PC. Of course, a wired connection to a computer is also possible through a cable provided as a package component. 프린터 양면인쇄
It is also impressive that it supports the ‘Brother iPrint & Scan’ mobile app, allowing you to print documents with just a few touches on iOS, Android smartphones and tablets without a PC. Mobile printing is possible without going through office programs such as Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. 윤과장의 소소한 일상 이야기
The main body is equipped with the LCD and buttons needed to monitor the current operation status, including the wireless connection introduced earlier, and to use functions that can be executed independently (ex. copy, fax) without a host connection. Korean engravings are applied to each button, so even first-time users will have no difficulty in using all the functions.
A notable feature of the exterior is the ADF (top automatic document feeder). It is compatible with not only plain paper but also recycled paper, and can load up to 35 sheets. It can be applied to printing and copying modes to help save paper. In addition, a standard paper tray that can store up to 250 sheets is located at the bottom of the body, and a manual feed slot that can insert up to one sheet is located at the rear.
One of the reasons for the good price-performance ratio is that toner that can print up to 2,600 pages is provided as a basic component. In addition, since it is a drum-toner cartridge separation type, it is more advantageous than low-cost laser printers in terms of maintenance cost. This is because it can be optionally replaced.
For reference, the toner required for black and white printing is sold in standard type (TN-2360, about 1,200 sheets, average 44,000 won) and large-capacity (TN-2380, about 2,600 sheets, average 73,000 won).
To be honest, considering the maintenance cost, it is correct to choose the infinite inkjet type. there is a big difference. However, as mentioned at the outset, if print speed is more important than anything else and you don’t want to suffer from work delays due to head clogging, it’s a good idea to purchase a laser MFP. At this time, in order to save even a little bit of maintenance cost, there are cases where you fall into the temptation of non-genuine toner. Considering the quality, durability, and AS, it is better to use Brother genuine toner even if it is 10,000 to 20,000 won more expensive.
The model we are introducing is optimized for printing black and white documents. The A4 standard printing speed is 30ppm, which is about twice as fast as inkjet printing, and the time it takes to print the first page is also very short at about 8.5 seconds. (Warm-up time is about 9 seconds) And since it supports automatic double-sided printing, it is attractive that you do not have to worry about making brochures and booklets.
As a laser printer, the output quality is very good.
The copying speed is also very fast at 30 cpm. Up to 99 sheets can be drawn at once with just a few buttons on the front control panel. In addition, it supports ‘N-in-1’ function that allows you to compress and copy multiple pages (2, 4, 9, 16, 25) on one A4 sheet, so it is highly usable.
The scan function is also useful. It supports native 600 x 2,400 dpi resolution (optical, flatbed) and can be expanded to 19,200 x 19,200 dpi. Scanning to the ADF is also possible, and after work, it can be delivered as an image file to a connected PC or sent by e-mail.
What was satisfactory during actual use was that the laser printer’s overwhelming output speed and relatively quietness, and that it did not have to suffer from the hardening of the nozzles, which had to be paid attention to periodically when using the inkjet method. Other features (wired/wireless connection, mobile printing, automatic double-sided printing and copying) are actually applied to the latest infinite ink multifunction printer, so it is difficult to see them as the charm of the MFC-L2700DW.
Today, I introduced a Brother laser all-in-one with good cost-effectiveness. Basic performance such as print quality and speed is satisfactory, and elements that help reduce maintenance costs such as providing toner capable of printing 2,600 sheets as a component, supporting toner save mode, and separating drum and toner cartridges are impressive models. It looks good for both home and office use.
