Overview
Brother builds this DCP-L2640DW as a three-in-one laser for small offices, with a flatbed glass and a feeder for stacks of pages. Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB connect it to laptops, phones and tablets, and the Brother app handles mobile printing.
Fast two-sided printing plus a document feeder make it useful for paperwork-heavy desks. It leaves out fax and color, and the scan resolution is modest, so photo and artwork work needs another device.
Who it's for
A freelancer or small office handling stacks of black and white paperwork that must be copied or scanned. The feeder saves time on long documents. Buyers who need fax built in should choose the sibling model that adds it.
Pros and cons
- Prints, copies and scans
- Automatic two-sided printing
- Auto document feeder for stacks
- Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB connections
- No fax function
- Black and white output only
- Scan resolution is modest
- Toner yield per cartridge not listed
Performance notes
The drum and toner cartridge work as a pair, and the toner save mode lowers toner use for draft pages. Copy quality depends on the scanner path: the feeder is quicker for stacks, the flatbed handles single sheets and bound pages. Automatic duplex adds a second pass for each sheet, which slows two-sided jobs a little.
