The Brother HL-5170 DN Printer uses the Brother HL-5170 DN Toner, and is an options-laden network unit that is perfectly-sized for the small business environment. It has excellent paper storage capacity, which can be expanded to greater levels when situations require it to be so. The Brother also taps that sweet spot in the market of under-300 dollars, making it a wise choice for the smart business leader.

A workgroup of users that desires a smorgasbord of print requirements will grasp that this printer can be an ideal addition to their network. The HL-5710 can also take on different paper and envelope needs, plus many multiple purpose, no-notice task assignments. The printer's warranty is the industry-standard 1 year for units at this cost level. It can also be extended out a couple more years for a small added fee.

The HL-5170DN printer unit is able to handle 250 sheets of paper in a sole feeder unit along with another 50 sheets in a multipurpose tray, giving it a final capacity of 300 pages. An optional 250 sheet feeder tray can be bought for a small additional charge. Plus, there's also a duplex printer function.

This printer is a capable unit as far as budget workgroup printers happen to go. USB 2.0 and Ethernet interfaces are supplied, along with previous generation parallel ports, if you need them. This gives the HL-5170DN the ability to join up to a networked workgroup using any numbers of porting methods. This will help eliminate the requirement for special add-ons solely to handle the new printer. IT technicians are going to be gladdened over this laser printer's abilities, for sure.

This network unit can print pages at speeds up 21 ppm. This gives it an excellent product delivery, and it also makes it a nice fit for most small computer network workgroups. Speeds could be quicker or even slightly slower depending on the printing assignment and the graphics within each print job. Plus, it has a 20,000 page duty cycle that should help to reduce the requirement for occasional maintenance, in most cases.

The HL-5170DN supplies print tasks at up to 2400 by 600 dots per inch print clarity. The clearness and crispness of each page will make the business owner who expects neat and understandle output products a bit happier. All jobs will come out with a minimum of drama, to be honest. Standard unit memory adds up to 32MB. This can be increased to 160MB, which should be more than acceptable for almost any print job that a small network should have.

This network printer is interoperable with most operating platforms. It will go work with Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems with little trouble, making it a breeze to align the printer to the workgroup rather than a network to the HL-5170. It also combines extreme adaptability and the functional ability to be easily used, all wrapped up in a nice and small printer unit. Laser printers in the sub-300 dollar specialty class don't usually come with the sort of adaptability that this laser printer shows us.

The Brother HL-5170DN Toner cartridge comes along with the unit. It's can print out about 3,300 pages before calling for replacement with a new cartridge. A higher-capacity version is also available. It produces around 6,500 sheets of printed paper before running out and requiring swap-out with a new unit. The cartridge does fine, creating crisp and clear printed materials with no smearing or lack of crispness of text output. The printer also can handle more complicated, graphics-rich print tasks with little muss or fuss. Factoring in all the benefits of this package, both the toner and the HL-5170 DN Printer work hand-in-hand with ease and aplomb. For more information visit http://www.qtoner.us.
