Brother HL 5140
The Brother HL-5140 is a competitive monochrome printer that offers high quality prints with the ability to expand the device should it become necessary.
The HL-5140 is one of Brothers range of workhorse printers. Nothing to look at but offers solid dependability while producing good quality, high resolution prints for days on end. This device is ideal for the small business who isn’t worried about printing in color who wants a good value, long lasting printer.
Printing at 20 pages per minute at 600 dpi, the HL-5140 works quickly enough to be productive, but produces quality enough to suit most needs. It warms up in 18 seconds, and once warm will have a completed print on the tray 10 seconds after pressing the print button. Both figures quite respectable at this budget.
Despite being designed for the smaller business, the HL-5140 can cope with large print jobs thanks to the 133Mhz SPARC processor and 16Mb of memory. If that wasn’t enough, the memory is upgradeable to a decent 144Mb. Manual duplexing allows for all that power to be utilized in producing double sided prints too. The 250 sheet standard paper drawer is also partnered by a single sheet feeder and a 150 sheet output tray. There is also an optional paper tray to expand the paper capacity by a further 250 sheets.
To add to the functionality, the printer natively supports different sized paper, envelopes, labels and card stock. This can make printing business literature, marketing blurb and business cards a breeze.
Setup is quick and easy. Connection is by USB or parallel port, and the drivers are installed on each client machine. There is an option to purchase Ethernet or wireless connectors too, which adds flexibility if more was needed.
Toner is readily available and easy to refresh. A simple clip mechanism allows quick removal and replacement, keeping downtime to a minimum. New cartridges are reasonably priced with the high yield variants able to produce up to 6500 pages of standard business documents.
With the expansion potential of the extra paper drawer, networking options and expandable memory, this is an ideal printer for the new business who is set to grow. Adding these elements to an existing printer of a good quality is much cheaper than constantly upgrading and offers a cost effective printing option.
The reasonable cost of consumables, and these scalable features, coupled with the good text reproduction leaves me with no hesitation in recommending this product. Overall, a great printer.
