Compact: The recently revamped Brother HL 5140 Printer is user friendly, cute and incredibly compact at 15x15x10 inches and 15 pounds. This laser printer is ideal for home and office use where space is limited and with quality still remaining important.
Cost: The cost of the standard printer without any accessories is approximately US$200. The greatest expense will be incurred with accessory investments such as paper trays and memory with prices for single items easily reaching prices equal that of printer itself. However some extra's you can't do without such as network requirement equipment.
Cool Controls: The control panel is easy to use and understand, with just 2 buttons and three lights. The lights indicate different status such as toner, drum and paper. The buttons are to Cancel Print and "Go" to restart continuous printing after jams or errors as well as power on from sleep mode. Ease is key for consumers these days.
Paper: The printer comes standard with a sheet output and main tray. With 150 and 250 capacities respectively. Another 250 page tray is available with cost of a couple of US$ less than you initially paid for the printer, really not a good investment at all. Rather buy another printer for that price than a single printer part. Multi-taskers will fall in love with this impressive 21 page per minute producer, giving him or her more time to do other things than to wait for a printer to finish a printing job. The printer accepts almost any size paper including legal, exec, letter, A4, A5 and A6. A variety of paper types can used including Letter, Transparencies, labels, envelope and plain paper. However single paper printing, large quantity envelope and transparency printing will have to be fed to printer by hand. The printer has an awful disadvantage in terms of paper jam tendency's. To fix the jam can take hours of effort as the whole printer needs to be dismantled.
Quality test: The text quality is unbeatable with characters being easy to read, bold and perfectly outlined, no smudges or blemishing. The graphics quality is really not very good as flaws are present on both gradients. Forget about using the printer for photo and graphics printing as print quality is generally uneven.
Printer Memory: 16 MB's memory comes standard with the printer. This may be too little for large printing jobs and networking with another 144 MB memory available to fill by means of SD RAM's sold by 3rd party vendors.
Technical requirements: The printers' system requirements are Microsoft 95 to XP, Linux and Mac OS. The printer is compatible with Mac, PC and Linux and has a 133 MHz processor with 16 MB RAM standard however it has available 144 MB's. Interfaces that come standard with the printer are Parallel and USB with wireless and Ethernet extra.
Super priced toner: Brother HL 5140 toner is available at really a bargain price with approximately two month life span depending how much printing you do. The drum is much more expensive topping an almost astonishing US$ 170.00.
