This is an efficient and reliable single function monochrome printer! I was looking for a good laser duplex printer. After a lot of search, I found this printer to be the most appropriate. In fact, I wanted to get a colour laser printer but found them to be very expensive and unnecessary as colour prints are rarely needed. The toner costs are astronomical! If a single original black toner cartridge costs half the cost of this printer, imagine the cost of coloured toners! Besides the initial cost of a laser colour printer is outrageously high. So unless you really need one, don’t waste your time looking for one. Inkjet colour printers are cheaper so you can opt for them. But be advised that they aren’t easy to maintain. Unlike inkjet printers, ink leaks won’t occur even if the laser printer isn’t used for a long time.Setting up this printer was very easy and I had it running in minutes. Duplex printing is fantastic. It saves paper, time and energy. The paper tray stacks 250 papers neatly within the printer. Always use dual print compatible papers to avoid causing paper jams or poor quality prints. The toner (TN-2365) that comes with the printer has a stated capacity of 2,600 pages. But eventually the number will be close to 1,500 pages. If you use the toner saver mode then it may reach 2,000 pages. Additionally, the drum (DR-2365) which houses the toner will also have to be replaced after every 12,000 prints. The print speed is impressive. It can print 30 (A4) or 32 (Legal) pages in a minute. I have printed 750 pages at once all under 30 minutes. I haven’t had a single paper jam or any other issue while doing it and in all the 6 months use. This implies reliability.Compatible refills and cartridges are easily available for this model and costs a fraction of what an original toner cartridge (costs Rs. 3,000) would! Compatibles will affect the print quality to an extent and depending on their quality and how the cartridge is refilled, it may cause leaks within the printer. Therefore care should be taken regarding this. Do note that compatibles will void the printer’s warranty. So it would be better to go for compatibles after the warranty period. Being compact, it occupies less space. It comes in a two tone appearance (Black and Grey) and doesn’t have wireless printing. The similar all black colour Brother Laser Printer HL-L2366DW is actually a different model with wireless printing. So don’t expect this model to come in an all black colour.Check whether the printer has any defects upon delivery. If defective, get it replaced within the 10 days replacement period to avoid complications. As for the printer’s maintenance, it is very important to locate the printer in an open area or room to prevent overheating. Make sure that the printer’s sides have enough gap to allow cooling. Finally ensure that the printer is covered when it isn’t in use to protect it from dust. These simple things will give the printer longevity. Brother has produced a very good duplex printer that is affordable and reliable and I can assure you that this printer is a perfect fit for a small office or for your home. If you are looking for an affordable duplex printer, this printer is a fantastic buy and a no brainer!ADDITIONAL INFORMATION======================A lot of home users want a Multi-Function printer. Though they are useful and save space, they have many cons. They are expensive and come with inferior quality scanners and copiers (High Quality and Durable MF Printers are even more expensive!). Besides these scanners break down easily. If the printer function is working fine despite a disfunctional scanner, repairing the scanner can cause complications to it. To be brief, it’s hard to repair either the printer or scanner in a MF Printer! If you really need a scanner, go for a stand alone scanner. Opting for a single function printer will be cheaper and easier to maintain and repair. Additionally compared to a MF Printer, you will get better stand alone products for a lesser price!UPDATE AS OF 15/08/2018======================It has been 14 months since I bought this printer. I am happy to tell you that it works very well to date. During this period, I bought the Apple leaders Printer Dust Cover for Brother HL-L2321D – Blue in order to protect the printer from dust. Throughout this time, this printer has proven to be durable and reliable and so I can once again reiterate that this is a reliable and an affordable duplex printer!

Nice products easy to use
