Manual of product HL-2170W
Editorial note
The Brother HL-2170W printer stands out for its printing speed, offering a speed of 22 pages per minute, making it suitable for daily use, especially in demanding work environments. Its maximum print resolution of 2400 x 600 DPI ensures clear and precise prints, ideal for professional documents. Additionally, the built-in wireless connectivity makes it easy to print from various devices, without the constraints of cables. However, some drawbacks may hinder users. Limited compatibility with Mac systems excludes part of the customer base, and the internal memory of only 32 MB may prove insufficient for processing large documents, leading to slowdowns. Although the paper capacity of 250 sheets is adequate for moderate use, high-demand users may need to reload paper frequently. In terms of design, the printer is functional and compact, but its weight of 6.8 kg can make it difficult to move in tight spaces. In terms of value for money, the Brother HL-2170W is attractive, especially with its ENERGY STAR certification that attests to its energy efficiency. Finally, while the interface is intuitive and overall use is simple, better support for Mac users and more extensive documentation for different operating systems would be appreciated improvements. Overall, the Brother HL-2170W is a solid option for those looking for an efficient laser printer, provided its limitations are taken into account.Score details
