Brother HL-5340D Mono Laser Printer

This is my second one of these (the first one from a year ago is still working fine and on it's third or fourth toner). I am a teacher and use the printer for worksheets and printing old exam papers.The "booklet" setting is great for exam papers - even scaled down everything is clear.With Canon toner the image quality is fantastic, with cheapies it is still v good.Speed great.Reliability great.Price great.Looking round the net it seems worth replacing the printer when the drum needs replacing - hence my purchase of the second printer ready for that occurrence, (Probably after about 5 toners), when I saw the Amazon price.

We have several HL-5250DNs in our office which have given us years of good service. HL-5250DNs are no longer made, the HL-5340DN is the nearest equivalent so we've been buying these instead. They're descent mono duplex lasers. They an be connected by USB, network or parallel. We only use them for single-PC use because like so many cheaper lasers, the cost of cartridges is high. So as your print volumes increase you are better off getting a higher capacity printer because over the life of the printer it will work out cheaper to use.

would have liked to be informed that i would need a toner cartridge to use this refurbished printer. it comes in a box that fits where it touches, so not original, not that I was expecting that, what i was expecting is to use it when i plugged it in! now i have to wait for toner to arrive to see if it works, then I will have a toner thats opened non refundable because its opened, if the printer doesn't work. not good.

As I expected this is a good basic black and white only laser printer. It's a little quieter than my previous brother printer - but so far I haven't had any problems with it (and I expect none).My only gripe with this is that it came with packaging obviously not intended for UK. For example there were no written set up instructions in english (dutch and french only) and it came with a standard european plug connection rather than a UK one. Of course neither of these are huge problems (the english instructions are on the CD manual and I could use the power cable from my previous brother printer) but they were both a bit niggly when I came to open the box. A bit better quality control is required somewhere.

This printer has worked very well upto now but now a couple of times the paper has got stuck, I had to open it up and remove the paper about 6 times. I did some adjustments to the trays etc inside and it seems okay now, will see how long it lasts. But overall the printer works well and is very fast, the ink lasts a long time that I am very pleased about, I will never go back to a ink jet printer again thes lasers are the best.

A good value printer especially if you use the extra capacity toner cartridge - 8000pages.Print quality is very good and no paper curling.Duplexing works a treat and the whole thing is reasonably quiet during printing.Software loaded no problem.Overall very happy with this purchase.

A good value workhorse of a printer. I've been using remanufactured toner cartridges in it with no problems. Only issue is the duplex unit has started to give trouble with paper jams happening frequently. No problems at all printing single-sided. Recommended.

A very good, no nonsense printer, good duplexing function, quick in operation and not too noisy. Booklet printing very good with Windows - but does not work with Mac OSX. No English language instructions provided - but available on line. Good little printer.
