Brother HL-5340D Toner Cartridges

The Brother HL-5340D laser printer is designed for the home or small office user. Its fast printing speeds and large paper capacity offer more than most of the competition, at a very affordable price.

The Brother HL-5340D laser printer, (also known as the HL-5340) has built-in automatic duplexing, a rare feature in a printer at its price. This allows users to print on both sides of pages, and can save a significant amount in paper costs if it is enabled as the default printing option. Speaking of paper, its paper capacity is also impressive for the price, with a 250-sheet main tray and a 50-sheet multipurpose tray. The multipurpose tray is particularly convenient for users who frequently use more than one type of paper, as it means not having to empty the main tray before loading an alternate media type. The multipurpose tray also incorporates a straight-through paper path, allowing it to accommodate thick media that cannot be bent.

The unit can connect via parallel or USB 2.0, but does not have built-in ethernet support. Its 16 MB of standard memory can be expanded to a maximum of 512 MB for users who do graphics-heavy printing or large documents.

Brother HL-5340D toner cartridges are very affordably-priced. The laser toner cartridges have a capacity of 3,000 pages for each standard cartridge, and 8,000 pages for each high-yield printer toner cartridge. The included toner save mode will reduce toner costs even lower.

Print quality is excellent, due to its 1200 dpi printing engine. The result is extremely sharp text and very good graphics quality. Print speed is very fast for the price, at up to 32 pages per minute.

Overall, home and small office users will find a lot to like about the Brother HL-5340D. Its fast speeds, easily replaceable empty toner cartridges and duplex printing make it a great value for the price.
