The much honored Brother HL 1240 Printer - Brother HL 1240 Toner cartridge sustem is one of the most used inkjet printer systems of all time. First introduced way back in 1999, when the cell phones on the X Files were slightly smaller than a loaf of bread, the HL 1240 Printer still churns out millions of pages of high quality texts and graphics every work day of the year.
The Brother HL 1240 printer introduced design innovations that have kept it relevant for 12 years in small and medium size office operations and home offices world wide.
When it was first released in the final year of 20th century, non-business IT networks for government and educational institutions were overwhelmed by the continuous innovations of the IT revolution. For many offices, all that was needed was a replacement for the typewriter. Printers had loading trays that either had to be constantly reloaded or un-jammed. Changing toner cartridges was a messy, tricky business. The IT revolution was presenting as many new problems as it solved.
The Brother HL-1240 printer introduced mid-range paper feeds, faster first page boot ups, 5 second print-page times, a revolutionary simple to change toner cartridge, an incredibly jam-proof paper feed design and 600 x 600 dpi printing of text and graphics on essentially and paper medium.
A major breakthrough for its time, what has saved the Brother HL-1240 printer from obsolesces are two forward thinking innovations: multi-platform compatibility and onboard multi-port options. The USB port was so cutting ahead of its time many office managers couldn't imagine why it was included. But those in the know knew. Both CNET.com and the PC Computing magazine selected the Brother HL-1240 printer as their Editor's Choice. The introduction of a choice between the 50-page paper trays of the home printer and the 1,000 page monstrosities that were overwhelming the limited desk-top space in many small businesses was pure common sense. It is this blend of innovation, practicality and reliability that has kept the HL-1240 a peripheral many simply have never thought about replacing.
Planned obsolescence was simply not in the minds of the designers of the Brother HL-1240 Printer. They figured technological innovation was going so fast, something had to be designed that could last for decades, not years. The Brother HL-1240 printer is that product.
An essential element in the success of the Brother HL-1240 Printer is the Brother HL 1240 Toner Cartridge. Using microfine toner specifically developed for inkjets (not ripped off from existing photocopy toner stock), Brother HL 1240 Toner allowed 600 x 600 image density from a cartridge printer. The graphics quality of the print process alone was enough for PC Computing Magazine to give the HL-1240 its Most Valuable Player award.
