Brother HL-2170W Driver Download

Brother Printer Reviews– Never do a double-take when you see a low price? You read the spec and assume something has to be wrong. This may be your first reaction to the Brother HL-2170W laser printer. How can you rank at 23 pages per minute, have built-in Wi-Fi, and sell for $ 149.99? What is the problem?

No commitment – just appointments that you may or may not be willing to do. The best news: the Wi-Fi feature is a breeze to set up and works perfectly. We were able to use the printer simultaneously with a USB-connected desktop computer and a wireless laptop. If you have already tried setting up a cheap printer to handle both simultaneously, you can understand why we were satisfied with the installation without problems.

Commitments, however, may have been willing to pay more for a model that does not cut corners. The 2170W is quite high when the print is clearly audible for about five minutes after finishing a job (until the transitions to energy saving mode). There is no LCD panel in the printer – only three LED lights labeled as Toner, Drum, and Error. The first two indicate when to replace toner and drum cartridges. The error LED is very generic to be useful. Turns on when you have a paper jam, forget to close the lid, need to add more paper or require a service call. To be fair, the printer driver does a good job of indicating the nature of the error, and you really can not expect a lot of hand-scanning for the price.

Brother does not provide a manual printed only in HTML and PDF electronic versions. But the documentation is very technical in some places; It can discourage you from attempting wireless resources. For us, the Wi-Fi setup was relatively simple. We follow the documentation suggestion that we initially set up the printer driver on the laptop for a direct Ethernet connection (you will need an Ethernet cable). Once it has been established, the software searched for and found the Wi-Fi adapters in the notebook and printer. He then asked us for network configuration information, such as the SSID (Service Set Identifier), the type of encryption, and the password. The software found our Wi-Fi network even though the network had a hidden SSID.

Print speeds were impressive for such a cheap printer. Our 10-page text and graphic proof document were printed in 34 seconds, while our 20-page document was printed in 57 seconds. It took a reasonable 19 seconds to go cold start to print a page. Printing costs are competitive with other low-cost laser printers. To keep costs under control, you must follow the low-performance starter cartridge with the TN-360 toner cartridge for US $ 64.99 (2.5 cents per page) instead of the US $ TN-330 toner cartridge 44.99 (3 cents per page). Adds the price to replace the DR-360 drum of $ 99.99 per 12,000 pages and costs per page increase to 3.3 cents and 3.8 cents, respectively.

While the 2170W has a native resolution of 600×600 and an interpolated resolution of 2,400×600, it does not compare to other laser printers that we evaluate with the same specifications. Due to misunderstanding dithering, the text on our test grid was readable just down to 6 points against a black background and 5 points against a gray background. Most photos printed with a grainy look and very little contrast, much like an old newspaper photo. The majority of the majority
