Brother HL-1870N Printer Review

The Brother HL-1870N laser printer is designed for the small or medium office environment. It combines the features and speed of other models in its line with built-in ethernet networking, for easy network sharing. The result is an affordable network printer with excellent speed and performance.

The design of the Brother HL-1870N laser printer, also known as the HL-1870, won't win any awards for aesthetics, but it gets the job done. The straightforward boxy design puts the control panel, paper tray, and output tray all within easy reach, allowing users to access all the necessary functionality and get back to work quickly.

Ethernet networking is included as a standard feature, allowing it to be easily connected and shared across a network of multiple users. The unit also includes a built-in web server, so that users can manage print jobs, change settings, and view status reports directly from their networked computer. It also supports automatic duplexing, or two-sided printing, opening up more creative options for users. It also has a higher print capacity then many other models.

Paper capacity is quite good for the price. The main drawer has a capacity of 250 sheets, and a multipurpose tray has a capacity of up to 100 sheets, depending on the media type.

Standard Brother HL-1870N toner cartridges have a capacity of 3,300 pages, but high-yield laser toner cartridges are also available, with a capacity of 6,500 pages. The high-yield printer toner cartridge has a much lower cost per page. However, the HL-1870N is an economical choice, perfect for offices on a budget.

Print speed is impressive, at up to 19 pages per minute, rivaling much more expensive printers. Print quality is excellent. text is very sharp, and graphics are slightly above average for a laser.

Overall, the Brother HL-1870N has a lot to offer. Its networking, speed, and quality are surprisingly good given its affordable price.
