Design
Ideal for use in either a home office or small business office environment, the energy efficient Brother HL-3040CN is a compact printer with a sleek design. Measuring 56 cm X 63 cm X 46 cm, the small footprint of the Brother HL-3040CN allows it to fit nicely in small corners. A manual feed slot is available to facilitate the printing of envelopes and company letterheads. The built-in networking feature allows instant networking to all devices within the office. An LCD screen displays all instructions and messages.
Advantages
Several features that help the Brother HL-3040CN printer stand out from other competitors are the easy assembly and setup, quick print speeds for black and colour jobs and optimum colour output delivered using Brother's Digital LED print technology. The printer is compatible with Microsoft, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems to make it available to the widest customer base possible. The printer functions quietly which is a large benefit to those works in small, confined work environments where excess noise can easily become a distraction.
Disadvantages
User reviews have noted a few issues they have encountered with the Brother HL-3040CN digital colour printer. Although the printer does have a LCD display screen, this particular model does not have a back light feature; this can make the display more difficult to read in poorly lit spaces. Another disadvantage that has been reported has to do with the initial starter set of Brother HL-3040CN toner cartridges. Some users have reported that these start-up Brother HL-3040CN cartridges do not seem to last as long as replacements available on Cartridge Save.
