Manual of product HL-5380DN
Editorial note
The Brother HL-5380DN printer stands out with its high printing speed of 30 pages per minute, making it ideal for work environments where speed is essential. Its laser printing technology and maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI ensure high-quality prints, both for professional documents and personal use. Additionally, the automatic duplex printing feature saves paper and reduces printing costs, which is a significant advantage. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits usage flexibility, forcing users to rely on cabling for network connection. Furthermore, the internal memory of 32 MB may prove insufficient for more complex printing tasks, leading to slowdowns in some cases. Weighing 9900 g makes the printer difficult to move, which can be an issue for those who wish to reposition it frequently. Finally, its gray design may seem unappealing to some users seeking customization. Overall, the user experience is satisfactory thanks to an intuitive interface and practical features, although the absence of Wi-Fi may be a hindrance. Performance is generally good, although a few limitations should be noted. The value for money is excellent, and the robustness of laser technology makes it a reliable choice for daily use.Score details
