Brother HL-L6200DW Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer with Duplex Printing (Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready)

I love this printer so much. And I hate printers! We don't print much nowadays, but when I need to this one delivers.Like you I probably purchased like 15 printer sin my life. I will get this one again.

printer, great for office

Edit: almost 6 months now and I have not experienced any issues. IMO it is a great printer. Purchased using amazon monthly payments.Previous:Still have not experienced any issues at all. Great printer, would buy again. It replaced my ~15 year old Brother HL-5240 that finally died. This Brother HL-L6200DW is still exceeding my expectations.Review from day 8:1268 Total Page Count so far, 1134 2-sided and have experienced none of the issues that some have reported so far. I updated the firmware to the latest, "Main Version: 1.81" and Sub1 Version 1.75".I'm using 24lb Hammermill laser paper bought here on amazon.Power cord is embossed with "16AWG", most/all aftermarket power cords turned up by searching for "Brother HL-L6200 power cord" are 18AWG. The power cord for the HL-L6200DW must be rated for at least 13 amps which means you must use at least a 16AWG cord. I went with a 15 foot 14AWG Monoprice brand cord from amazon - it was less expensive than other brands of both 16AWG and 14aWG cords. 14AWG cords are rated at 15 amps.Since peak power is approximately 1368 watts, it does take a bit of current to get the fusers up to a temperature of nearly 400ºF to fuse the toner to paper, those that use the old 18AWG power cord that was used on their old printer or go with a longer 18AWG cord might just have issues with smelling something burning.1200 dpi resolution and set to"Print in Black" so things like the text in the headers in Word always are in dark black. Print quality is, IMO, excellent. IMO lower settings and using toner saving mode probably would equal lower print quality.No idea if the settings to reduce paper curl and density adjustment might resolve some of the complaints but there are advanced settings that can be tried.

I had a previous Brother laser printer (HL-5250DN) that was a solid workhorse for ten years. I used it in my home office and it had great print quality and the toner cartridges seemed to last forever. (I got an off-brand refilled cartridge once, but went back to Brother's own cartridges as they gave the best quality results and lasted the longest). Towards the end the paper feed began to jam with paper stuck halfway through printing. I suspect it was the drum unit reaching the end of the line. When the paper finally refused to feed at all, I decided it was time for a new printer. I could have replaced the drum unit, but that would have cost more than half the price of this new printer.After a month of use, I am happy with this printer, which was the closest I could find to what I had previously had. I mainly chose this model because it came with Wi-fi built in (the HL-5250DN did not, and I had it hard-wired with ethernet to our home network), and it had the option of using super high-yield toner cartridges, which many other models did not. On the whole it appears to be another winner from Brother.Some reviews have complained about heavy electrical draw, but I've not experienced that. We live in an apartment building built over 100 years ago, with not great wiring, and I have had no problem with the printer.I give this 4 instead of 5 stars only because 1) it takes longer to print the initial page than my former printer (though it then kicks out additional pages at a fast clip), 2) the initial page sometimes (but not always) has an annoying small crease running halfways up the page (I need to trouble-shoot what's up with that), and 3) it is kind of loud in printing. I consider those minor issues.Set-up was much more of a breeze than I expected. I did go to the Brother website and downloaded the latest drivers, but also used the included CD of drivers and set-up wizard and it found our home network Wi-fi and that was that. We have my Mac and my wife's PC on our network and both work fine with it. We've even printed from our iPhones and my iPad to it, which was a nice touch.Bottom line: am I pleased? Yes.
