Brother HL-L2365 Toner Cartridges

Brother HL-L2365 Printer Review

The Brother HL-L2365 is a simple, compact monochrome laser printer at an affordable price point, which is all the convincing some buyers will need. It can output up to 30 pages per minute, and has a sharp resolution of 2400x600 dpi. The single Brother HL-L2365 printer toner supply is also inexpensive, keeping the machine affordable to operate.

Sometimes referred to as the HL-L2365DW, the unit is equipped with automatic duplexing and wireless networking features. With duplexing, users can easily print on both sides of the paper, conserving supplies, and the wireless networking makes for easier sharing among multiple users. It also supports mobile printing with Apple's AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, so printing from smartphones and tablets is a simple process.

The control panel is a bit underwhelming, with only a single-line LCD for any sort of feedback, but it does the job well enough. Users can view alerts and monitor the level of toners remaining, and most features will be controlled through the driver and software. The input paper capacity is 250 sheets, and a single-sheet manual feed slot is available for alternative media types and sizes. In addition to both wired and wireless networking, the unit can also be connected via USB.

The starter Brother HL-L2365 toner cartridge included with the machine is fairly anemic, and will run out quickly. Standard Brother HL-L2365 toner cartridges, however, have an average yield of 2,600 pages, so they won't need to be replaced too quickly. Prices are reasonable, but compatible Brother HL-L2365 toner is the least expensive option compared to pricier OEM supplies.

For the individual or in a very small office environment, the Brother HL-L2365 could be just the printer to fit the bill. It offers just a bit more than the minimum in features, but its low price and solid output speeds make it a good value.
