This black printer toner is held in a single Brother HL-2242 toner cartridge and comes in a few different capacities. Replacement toners can be found with a yield of 1,200 pages or 2,600 pages, while the starter Brother HL-2242 toner cartridge that is provided by the manufacturer in the shipping box has a yield of only 700 prints. With the high-capacity option, cost per page will be minimal, making this laser printer a great value.

Compatible with all major operating systems including Windows and Mac, the HL-2242 connects to a computer via USB 2.0 port. If being used in an office and multiple users need to be able to share it in a network, a universal ethernet adapter will need to be installed. There is a built-in memory of 8 MB and a 200 MHz processor that allow the machine to warm up in 25 seconds from the off position and 7 seconds from sleep mode. Once warmed, up to 24 pages per minute can be printed.

An LCD display sits on the top part of the device and shows progress of tasks and will let users know when the printer toner is running low. For an affordable alternative, compatible Brother HL-2242 toner is available from third party vendors. These toners are guaranteed to yield the same quantity and quality, but cost much less than the OEM.
