Brother MFC-2500 Toner Cartridges

Brother MFC-2500 Printer Review

The Brother MFC-2500 is a compact multifunction laser printer that is geared toward the home office user. It has a sleek design takes up a small footprint on a desk surface, and yet it still manages fast printing speeds of up to 20 pages per minute. The control panel is fairly streamlined for ease of use, while the affordable Brother MFC-2500 printer toner supplies make it a long-term bargain.

The MFC-2500 includes a 350sheet automatic document feeder on top, to help users quickly scan, fax, or copy multi-page documents. By using the scan to email function, users may find that they need faxing even less, and the PC Fax options helps users get around long distance charges. The input paper tray holds up to 250 sheets, though no upgrade options are available to expand the paper capacity beyond this point.

The unit itself measures 11.6x17x15.6 inches, and it weighs 20.8 pounds with the Brother MFC-2500 toner installed. The included software is compatible with both Windows and Mac platforms, and both parallel and USB ports are available for connection. The control panel lacks a large color display, but includes many dedicated buttons for the different functions, making it easy to use.

Replacing toners is a quick and easy process, and Brother MFC-2500 toner cartridges are also easy on the home or office budget. With a yield of around 6,000 pages for each Brother MFC-2500 toner cartridge, users can keep their cost per page down quite easily.

The fact that the Brother MFC-2500 includes 2400x600 dpi print resolutions, fast speeds, and such a compact design is impressive. Its small paper capacity could be an issue for busy users, but it will be a good fit for home office users, even those on a tight budget.
