Manual of product HL-5250DN
Editorial note
The Brother HL-5250DN printer stands out for its speed and exceptional print quality. With a printing speed of 28 pages per minute and a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, it effectively meets the printing needs of demanding work environments. Additionally, its duplex printing feature helps optimize paper usage, thereby contributing to cost reduction. However, a few drawbacks limit its appeal. The lack of compatibility with Mac operating systems may pose a problem for some users, as does its weight of 9800 g, which makes it less convenient to move. Furthermore, the internal memory of only 32 MB can lead to slowdowns during heavy printing tasks, and the noise level of 53 dB during printing could be disruptive in noise-sensitive workspaces. Finally, the inability to print in color limits its use for documents requiring graphic elements. Overall, the value for money is excellent, particularly due to its advanced features and high paper capacity of 250 sheets. The user manual, comprehensive and well-structured, also makes it easier to get accustomed to the printer. Despite some limitations, the Brother HL-5250DN remains a solid choice for those seeking a high-performance and economical laser printer.Score details
