Brother MFC-L2740DW Toner Cartridges

Brother MFC-L2740DW Printer Review

The Brother MFC-L2740DW multifunction laser printer (sometimes referred to as the MFC-L2740) can print and copy at speeds of up to 32 pages per minute, and includes both Wi-Fi and automatic duplexing, which is an impressive combination at such a low price. Costs for Brother MFC-L2740DW printer toner are also quite low, and the unit's touchscreen display is a nice upgrade from other similar models.

The design of the MFC-L2740DW is not as compact as a typical inkjet model would be, but it still takes up a small amount of space. It measures 17.1 inches high, with a footprint of 22.3x20.4 inches. With a weight of just 25.8 pounds, it also won't be too difficult to move, and that includes the Brother MFC-L2740DW toner supply as well. The front panel includes several dedicated buttons, but many menu screens and functions are controlled via the 2.7-inch touchscreen display.

The MFC-L2740DW includes wireless support for easy setup, but also includes an ethernet port for those who prefer wired networking, and a USB port for a direct connection. Mobile printing is included, with support for Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, and others. The 35-sheet automatic document feeder can make short work of a large scanning project, and the main paper tray holds up to 250 sheets at a time.

Users have a few options when it comes to replacement toners. The standard Brother MFC-L2740DW toner cartridge is a good choice for light-duty use, with an average yield of 1,200 pages. Those with heavier print volumes will appreciate the high-capacity Brother MFC-L2740DW toner cartridges, which can offer around 2,600 pages of output before expiring.

The MFC-L2740DW might be just a bit too large for some home users, but its compact frame will be a good fit for most homes and small offices. It has a great mix of multifunction with extras like wireless support, duplexing, and mobile printing to round it out. All of this combines to make it an excellent value for its price.
