Duplex, Wi-Fi, AirPrint and Google Cloud Print
But what do I know? Thankfully, the Brother HL-L2350DW, despite the USB connector on the back, is completely possible to install without connecting any cables other than the power cable. Something that would both benefit the user-friendliness and thereby probably also reduce the costs for customer service calls regarding installation help, etc. Although Brothers variants are pretty okay there is a lot to improve here too.
However, I still do not really understand why manuals for printers should necessarily be so annoyingly messy. But with the help of the manual, everything still went quite smoothly and as soon as the printer was up on the network, it quickly became popular with everything from computers to phones. So yes, the installation could have been more logical. After 30-plus years with a solid interest in technology, I thought it would not be a problem at all to install a printer. A slip-up that eventually required a classic jerk-cable reboot to fix. Wi-Fihowever, the button started and instead an automatic connection process to the stored Wi-Finetwork (which had not yet been stored). Something that sounds logical, but somehow it felt even more logical to press the button called just Wi-Fi in the hope that some form of installation would get started. Here was also the start-up guide for Wi-Fi a little insidiously tucked under Network> WLAN> Setup wizard.
Here I still have to give a little support when even I (yes, I think I should be able to install a printer without help) had to glance at the manual to realize that the printer actually had a whole lot of settings packed in different menus and submenus. The installation (which received the most complaints)īy far the most common complaint in consumer reviews of Brother HL-L2350DW is that the installation over Wi-Fi is difficult to understand and implement. The paper tray can hide 250 pages at a time and the printer supports both single-sided and double-sided printing ( duplex). Aside from Wi-Ficonnection, in addition to the connection for power, there is only one standard USB-Bconnector located on the back. In terms of connections, there is also quite a bit to mention here. Folding out the feed slot and paper jams does not do much further for the size. But still fully within acceptable levels. Should I remark on something is that the moving parts (paper tray, paper holder, etc.) are a bit in the more rickety direction. Especially compared to many other laser printers in the same price segment (yes, I’m looking at you, HP). The design is simple, the color choice is mostly classic computer gray and the whole piece feels very robust with a match weight of just over seven kilos. In terms of appearance, there is not much to talk about when it comes to HL-L2350DW. How does it stand up to the reviews and is there any truth in the problems some users raise or is it the “best printer ever”? I’ll try to figure that out here! A fairly large, small printer I needed a new printer for the office and since it is basically exclusively black and white prints left over Wi-Fi produced, the choice ultimately fell on just Brother HL-L2350DW. Amazon and other stores, it is a blissful mix of ratings where the printer one moment gets the rating “Best Printer Ever” while others give it a star with the comment “Does not work at all”.īrother HL2350DW is a classic printer gray story that is embellished with a black lid. However, if you take a look abroad, at e.g.
Now, after all, most of the reviews work at both price comparison sites and retailers in Sweden agree that just Brother HL-L2350DW is a pretty good printer. Printers are (along with routers) one of the more intricate product categories when it comes to electronics – especially if you look at the user experience they leave with consumers.
