Description: The Brother HL 2140 is a 23 ppm, black and white laser printer. Compared to other black and white laser printers on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $125. This unit has a maximum resolution of 2400dpi.
Pros: Only measuring 15" x14" x7", this printer is compact and easy to fit into a small office. Holding 250 sheets without using optional trays, this printer goes longer between refills than many other printers.
Cons: This unit does not support duplex printing.
Suitability: For documents and spreadsheets, where large volume printing is not required. This printer can handle legal (8.5 in x 14 in) and A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in) documents.
Value: In view of its relatively inexpensive price, this laser printer has great features for the money. Still, considering the resolution, similar black and white printers usually cost $125.
