At a list price of $250, you can get this High Speed Duplex Network Printer, which is very much suitable for office printing. There are shops online which also sell this printer for as low as $200.
As a standard of the Brother’s HL-5300 Series, it prints crisp and sharp texts at 32 pages per minute. With an additional feature of Auto Duplex printing, you never have to turn another page for this printer.
It comes with the 250-sheet capacity tray as a standard. This option would be the 5370DW. There is another option of this printer that would cater to customers who have larger printing needs. The HL-5370DWT offers the same features as the HL-5370DW, adding to its flexibility in paper handling since it comes with an additional lower tray with the same 250-sheet capacity. You can use the lower tray for another paper size aside from your standard letter size.
Aside from the standard and optional trays, along with it is the multipurpose tray which allows you to print on different media such as transparencies, envelopes, and other custom-sized papers. As a guarantee that it won’t crinkle every time you print on thicker media, this printer offers a straight-through path from the multi-purpose tray in the front, to the fold-down rear output tray.
This printer is most suited for offices since it offers network connectivity via the Ethernet or Wireless LAN. You can share this printer with multiple users whether they are connected through a network cable or connected via Wi-Fi from anywhere in the office. However, that doesn’t mean that it won’t do well as a home printer. It can also be accessed via your standard parallel or USB port.
As usual, like most printers from Brother, this printer is very easy to setup, being supported by most operating systems. Under 15 minutes, you can setup this printer and have it ready to print texts that are even sharper than their HP counterpart.
One word of caution, due to its promise of speed of shooting out 32 pages per minute, it does create a bit of a noise which is a little expected for high speed printers. You might also want to check from time to time if the pages are stacked well. Speed does have its price.
In conclusion, this is a great printer for the office.
