Auto-off when not in use

When not in use, the printer turns off to avoid wasting energy. This can be a pro or con, depending on how you use the printer. See More

Top Con

No backlight on LED control panel

The LED control panel is not backlight, thus it can be hard to see if put in darker or not well-lit places. See More

Speedy boot times

HP boasts its "instant-on technology" which allows the printer to turn on within seconds and be ready to print at a moment's notice. See More

Neither the print function or the scan function accept color. Your documents are scanned in black and white even if they are colored. See More

Can fax documents

This printer comes with a built-in document faxing by using the printer's scanner. See More

Print from your Android or iOS device with app

Using the HP ePrint app, which works on both iOS and Android smart devices, you can schedule print jobs from your phone. See More

Low price

With such high build quality and great features, you won't find a quality laser printer for less than this. See More

Large paper bin

This printer can store up to 250 pieces of paper in order to make refilling less of a hassle. See More

Pages Per Minute:26

Top Pro

High dpi scans

With a 600x2400 dpi scanner, you can be sure that your documents will come out in very crisp copies, and high resolution files. See More

Top Con

Enters Brother's "Deep Sleep" mode

Brother's printers contain a mode that automatically goes into what it calls "Deep Sleep". Deep Sleep is a mode that was intended to protect against overusing power, but instead ends up causing the user to need to restart the printer by unplugging it and plugging it back in if it goes 50 minutes without use. See More

Top Pro

Can scan in color

The scanner on the printer scans documents in color. Don't get this confused with printing in color, because this is a monochromatic printer that prints in black and white. See More

Top Pro

Can fax documents

This printer comes with a built-in document faxing by using the printer's scanner. See More

Top Pro

Quieter than the competition

This home printer makes sure to keep the noise down as compared to other printers. If you've never owned a laser printer, it may be louder than an inkjet, but it is one of the quietest on the market. Although, some seem to say that this printer is "as quiet as a mouse". See More

Top Pro

Can be used by mobile devices without an app

Although downloading an extra app to control the printing, this printer functions properly with Apple smart devices and Android's "Google Cloud Printing" See More

Brother HL-L2340DW

Top Pro

Extremely low printing costs

Buying expensive ink/toner for home-use can be annoying. The Brother HL-L2340DW has extremely low printing costs. One page worth of toner costs only 1.7 cents. It beats most non-professional laser printers in terms of costs. Compared to inkjet printers, you save around $10 after having printed just 250 pages. See More

Top Con

Poor graphics prints

It's not a great printer for graphics. The contrast is poor and the results not very sharp. It still prints color and may be good enough for most uses. See More

Top Pro

Great compatibility

You can print via USB or Wi-Fi. The printer is also very compatible with mobile devices. You can print from a mobile device using AirPrint for iOS, Brother's own iOS and Android apps or Google Cloud Print. See More

Top Pro

LCD screen

The printer has an LCD screen, which makes using the printer more convenient. Many budget printers don't have displays at all. See More

Top Pro

Very fast

Like other laser printers, this one does the job very fast. It prints text at around 29 ppm(pages per minute). See More

Top Pro

Great printing quality

Common for laser printers, the L2340 prints very sharp and crisp text. The text can be readable even at two-point font, while larger letters have beautiful and sharp edges and dark centres. For text prints, the quality of this printer is good enough for business use. See More

Top Pro

Easy to use and reliable

This is a great pick for home-use, if you need a simple and reliable printer. While many budget printers are a nightmare to set up, this one is very easy to both set up and troubleshoot. According to users' reviews it's likely to last for years, so there probably won't be a need to fix it or get a new one any time soon. See More
