Bridgewater, NJ (Sept. 16, 2024) — As printing preferences increasingly shift to digital and paper workflows at home and in small offices and workgroups, the need to stay connected and maintain control over printing documents is more critical than ever, especially as the boundaries of hybrid work flex between home office spaces, small businesses, and enterprises with multiple locations. Today, Brother International Corporation, an industry leader in imaging and document solutions, announced a refresh of its monochrome laser printer portfolio, including two single-function printers and three all-in-one printers.
Designed to optimize users’ printing experience without sacrificing functionality, this new lineup offers a fast print speed of up to 36 pages per minute1, automatic duplex printing, a 250-sheet paper capacity2, and flexible connectivity options. The three all-in-ones feature a new enhanced, highly efficient fuser design, which offers a 22% reduction in typical electricity consumption (TEC) compared to their predecessors. This also means a significantly shorter warmup time from sleep mode, so users can start printing in half the time3. The all-in-ones also offer an improved user interface.
Compact and Cost-Effective Single-Function and All-in-One Printers
The new HL-L2460DW XL, MFC-L2900DW, and MFC-L2900DW XL devices join the larger Brother Monochrome Single-Function and All-in-One Laser Printer portfolio to offer customizable solutions for the home and small office user. Each device provides a space-saving design with a robust feature set across multiple price points, including:
- An intuitive 3.5″ color touchscreen, enabling print from and scan to functionality from cloud-based services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, and SharePoint Online (not available on HL-L2460DW XL)4.
- The HL-L2460DW XL and MFC-L2900DW XL feature built-in value with included toner that yields up to 4,200 consistently sharp pages5.
- Functionality with the Brother Mobile Connect App empowers users to print, scan, and manage their printer anytime on their mobile device from almost anywhere6.
- Flexible connection options, including dual-band wireless, Ethernet, and high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity.
- Enhanced to support long-lasting performance and produce clear, professional quality prints, the new printers are compatible with Brother Genuine TN830 and TN830 XL toner cartridges, which deliver print yields of up to 1,200 and 3,000, respectively5.
- Models can utilize the Brother Refresh EZ Print Subscription service to eliminate the stress and guesswork of replacing toner.
