If you are a small office and you are seeking an affordable yet quality printer solution the Brother HL-5250DN printer is network ready and has features that have yet to be seen on more expensive products. It is also an ideal solution for home desktop use for a family who wishes to make use of one networked laser printer. The printer comes out of the box network-ready and has both a USB 2.0 and BaseT Ethernet parallel port.

For those of you who believe that weight equates to quality, you will be happy with this product. It weighs in at 22lbs so is no lightweight. It is however compact (the paper tray fits underneath the printer) and will take up very little desk space. The network connection is incredibly simple; all the operator needs to do is follow the included step-by-step instructions.

The manufacturers specification indicates that the out-put rating for this printer is 20 000 pages per month. Although the paper tray will only take 250 sheets, and this may be too little for some small businesses. It can take two additional paper trays, however these are really prohibitively expensive considering the price of the actual printer itself.

This printer is easily set up right against a wall or partition as there is no way for paper to exit from the rear. The Brother HL-5250DN printer also comes standard with a 150 sheet out-put paper tray and a 50 sheet multi-purpose tray. But you will not find a straight path for printing non-standard media, envelopes or card material.

The quality of output on this printer is very good; in fact I might even put this as being exceptional. It supports resolutions of up to 1,200X1,200 dpi. So even when using small font sizes the text is sharp, while grayscale and photo images come out looking very smooth.

The speed of out-put is also great and even after a period of inactivity the first printed sheet emerges in less than 9 seconds. It is rated to have an out-put speed of as much as 30 pages per minute, but it is rare that any printer in the real world matches up to the manufacturers specifications. However it is also very unlikely that you would ever become impatient while waiting for a document to print.

This printer provides a very flexible solution for any home or small business that requires a monochrome laser printer for professional looking documents. It even features the duplex capability for printing double sided documents. This is a great feature to have for printing, manuals or brochures. It has a 32 MB standard memory which is easily upgraded to 544 MB, so that it can handle more complex print jobs.

Like most machinery which is technologically advanced the Brother HL-5250DN printer, will only produce the print quality it was designed to produce if you make use of Brother HL 5250DN Toner. Use of any other HL Toner Cartridges product could mean you are looking for trouble. No-one want to have to troubleshoot their printer if they have a rush job which needs to get out, so rather be safe than sorry, and use the correct toner.
