Brother is a name known for its long history of quality office products ranging from the home consumer level all the way up to industrial strength printers, but with Brother’s HL-2700CN, a business class laser printer at a consumer level price, it is difficult to categorize this versatile machine.
The HL-2700CN comes equipped with an incredible 300 mhz of processing power which, in turn, means lightning fast print speeds of up to 31 pages per minute black and white, or 8 pages per minute in full color and, for your larger jobs, Brother has provided a built in 64 megabytes of standard memory. Not enough brainpower for your small business needs? This unit provides expansion ports good for an almost ludicrous 576 MBs of additional memory, so your projects will be ensured to run smoothly no matter how large.
Memory isn’t the only expandable feature on this Brother. The stock 250 sheet paper input capacity can be upgraded with a second paper tray to 780 sheets, giving you the option of paying for the features your company needs, and leaving the ones you don’t by the wayside. Also included is a 250 sheet output capacity so you can print an entire short novel if needs be without ever attending to your hardware or, if you require outputting to legal size documents, there’s an optional paper tray for 8.5 X 14. Along with larger paper, adjustable print options let you personalize envelopes, small labels, or even transparencies in the standardized size modes of A4, A5, and B5.
Operating on a network? The HL-2700CN comes standard with a speedy 10/100 Base T Ethernet port that can be used to connect your printer to a couple home PCs, or an entire existing office network of computers.
While most laser printers designed for office use operate exclusively in black and white, the HL-2700CN can output in bright, living color at a crisp pixel quality of 2,400 x 600 dpi, giving the user access to photo quality color prints suitable for framing, along side black and white speed that can keep pace with any business grade printer. For additional versatility, the HL-2700CN comes complete with both a parallel port and a USB port on top of the Ethernet port, making it compatible with not only standard PC and Mac systems, but also Linux, unlike some similar printers which can only be used with Windows networks.
The Brother HL-2700CN has been developed with the user in mind, providing a quality piece of industrial strength hardware with blazing quick print speeds without compromising quality, all at a cost effective price. Its high capacity toner cartridges mean you’ll be spending more time printing and less time being burdened with inefficient replacement procedures. The Brother HL-2700CN, with its one year limited warranty, is a welcome addition to a huge range of home business uses or small to medium sized offices, and can satisfy an extensive laundry list of demands, regardless of needs ranging from speed to image quality to cost efficiency. The Brother HL-2700CN can deliver regardless of your consumer needs.
