It has a very nice paper holding capacity that is expandable to even greater quantities if the situation requires it. It also lands in the affordable price poitn of less than 300 dollars, making it an excellent selection for the sharp business owner. You should also look into HL 5170DN cartridge.

A workgroup of print taskers that needs a variety of printing needs will realize this printer to be a perfect addition to their network suite. The printer can also handle variable paper and envelope sizes, in addition to several multipurpose, unscheduled task jobs. Its warranty comes in under the industry-standard 1 year for network printers of this price point. The warranty may also be extended a couple more years at an additional charge.

The HL-5170DN printer unit is able to handle 250 sheets of paper in a sole feeder unit along with another 50 sheets in a multipurpose tray, giving it a final capacity of 300 pages. An optional 250 sheet feeder tray can be bought for a small additional charge. Plus, there’s also a duplex printer function.

This workgroup unit is a nimble printer as far as printer interfaces are. USB 2.0 and Ethernet ports are the norm, along with classic parallel hook-ups, if they’re still needed. This extends to the HL-5170DN the capability to connect with a network using several different mechanisms. This ability helps eliminate the requirement for non-standard add-ons just to handle the new unit. Computer network specialists are going to be happy with the Brother printer’s abilities.

This network unit with Brother toner can print pages at speeds up 21 ppm. This gives it an excellent product delivery, and it also makes it a nice fit for most small computer network workgroups. Speeds could be quicker or even slightly slower depending on the printing assignment and the graphics within each print job. Plus, it has a 20,000 page duty cycle that should help to reduce the requirement for occasional maintenance, in most cases.

The HL-5170DN supplies print tasks at up to 2400 by 600 dots per inch print clarity. The clearness and crispness of each page will make the business owner who expects neat and understandle output products a bit happier. All jobs will come out with a minimum of drama, to be honest. Standard unit memory adds up to 32MB. This can be increased to 160MB, which should be more than acceptable for almost any print job that a small network should have.

This network printer is interoperable with most operating platforms. It will go work with Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems with little trouble, making it a breeze to align the printer to the workgroup rather than a network to the HL-5170. It also combines extreme adaptability and the functional ability to be easily used, all wrapped up in a nice and small printer unit. Laser printers in the sub-300 dollar specialty class don’t usually come with the sort of adaptability that this laser printer shows us.

The Brother HL 5170DN toner comes supplied with the HL-5170DN unit. It’s good for around 3,300 copies before needing to be replaced with a new toner cartridge. There’s an optional higher-yield toner that can put out 6,500 pages of copy before requiring replacement. This makes the HL-5710DN toner cartridge a nice adjunct to the printer. The cartridge itself works fine, creating crisp and clear pages with no smearing of the printed copy. The printer can also take on more involved, graphics-heavy print assignments with little effort. Taken altogether, both the toner and the HL-5170 DN Printer work well with each other. For more information, check out our website http://www.qtoner.us.
