Review: Great machine that can print shipping labels. - I've had the printer for about four months at this point, so I figured that was long enough to write a fairly honest review (though I'll certainly update in the future as I have more experience with the printer). I'll start by saying that I love this printer so far. I've really had no negative experiences with it that would cause me to regret the purchase. If you're in the market for a laser printer, you'll be happy with this product. Ink consumption: As stated, I've had the printer for about 4 months, and with the "starter cartridge" supplied, I have about 1/3 ink left, which I feel is pretty good considering the amount I print. I've printed quite a few full images with the printer which uses a lot more ink than just text, so I consider that one reason the ink has gotten down to the 1/3 mark already. I also use "full quality" for most print jobs, though there is a "toner saver" feature if you want to really squeeze all the print jobs out you can. Quality: text is perfect, I have no issues. Image quality is decent for a laser printer, but I'd warn against buying this one if you need it primary for image printing. You'll be better off with a color printer. But, if you need to print out the occasional graph or something, it's not too shabby. But let's be honest, you don't buy a laser printer for great "photo quality" prints. This sucker is speedy. I don't time it, but usually by time I walk into the other room (My printer is in a different room than my computer), the print jobs are already done and waiting. The scanner works as hoped. The copier works perfectly. Really, nothing awful to report here. There is a small learning curve when using the automatic document feeder. If I remember correctly, it's only used when making copies, and not for scans. I may be wrong about that though. The wireless setup was a snap. I connected it, and then I just leave the printer "always on." It goes into "sleep mode" when idle, and wakes up for print jobs. I'm not certain, but I think this is actually better for electrical conservation in the long run, as startups and shutdowns use more electricity, generally speaking. This also ensures you don't have to wait very long for the printer to warm up. (Please let me know if I've got this wrong, or if it's bad to leave the machine on, but I think it's okay). One side note, since this was the biggest concern I had when purchasing the machine: You CAN print multiple shipping label sheets from the normal document feeder. The machine will prompt you to use the front facing feeder, where you have to feed in one sheet at a time, but it doesn't force you to do so. I usually just choose "widest thickness" for paper type, and then choose "labels" when printing. I've done up to about 6 sheets at a time, though I would warn against too many, as the hotter the machine gets, the more likely it is a sticker might peel from the label sheet and gum up the works. To be clear, this is not suggested by the retailer, and might even void the warranty if you were to have an issue, but so far, I've had no problems. Overall, this was a great value. The printer is going strong after 4 months of medium use, with most features being used.
Review: Solid, time-tested performance - I bought one of these in 2014 and another in 2016. Both are still going strong. Easy to print, scan, copy, and cheap to use even when using Brother cartridges. Joining a wireless network by network name involves slightly tedious button-pushing input, but I appreciate the machine's solid performance and the ease of setting it up in a new network. This is a true workhorse. I did finally have to replace an important part on one of them (maybe a print roller?) but it was a job I could do myself! Both printers have lasted longer than many marriages.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this printer come with print toner or do I need to order it separately?**
A: It comes with a starter toner cartridge, which is supposedly low capacity.  I bought this a year ago and have gone through 2 reams of paper (500 pages) and I am still on the original starter toner!

**Q: Does it have a flatbed scanner or just a document feeder?**
A: It has flarbed scanner,

**Q: Is there a setting that will extend Toner use beyond Brother's "normal"  ("Continue"?)?**
A: I have three different models of Brother printers, this model, Brother HL-L2300D and HL-L2380DW. I too tried to see if there is low toner, "extended range" setting that allows for more printing beyond toner empty warning, where all printing stops.  There isn't because there is a physical rotating switch on the toner that once it reaches the empty setting, it tells the machine that it is empty and it cannot be electronically over-ridden.  I went through 6 TN-660 high capacity cartridges in less two years, which I thought it was excessive for my office.  I opened up a supposedly empty toner cartridge and much to my chagrin, it still had about 20% of toner ink left.  The toner ink indicator can be reset manually if you take apart the toner, which I did.  Now, I am getting couple hundred more pages before it really runs out of toner.  Furthermore, toner refills are way more economical than buying a new toner cartridge.  I wouldn't refill these multiple times, maybe only one or twice as the plastic gears in them probably won't last through several refill cycles.  Ink Owl on Youtube has a good tutorial on refilling these toners.  Refilling and resetting the empty indicator is relatively easier on this toner than other models and manufacturers.  I am also approaching the end of life on the drums, which is supposedly good for 12,000 pages.  I find that it is just as cheap or cheaper to buy a whole new printer with toner cartridge bundle when it's on sale (buy the cheapest model that uses the same drum - Brother HL-L2300D) than to just buy the replacement drum.  In case the printer craps out, you got a whole new printer.  Otherwise, I would take (cannibalize/scavenge - what horrible sounding words) the drum from the cheapest printer which I bought for such purpose and use it on my more capable, higher model printer.

**Q: Will the scanner scan color documents to a colored PDF? I know it will not PRINT color.**
A: Yes, it does scan in color to a PDF and also to a JPEG. You simply adjust the setting when scanning to either PDF or JPEG.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, time-tested performance
*by I***W on September 29, 2025*

I bought one of these in 2014 and another in 2016. Both are still going strong. Easy to print, scan, copy, and cheap to use even when using Brother cartridges. Joining a wireless network by network name involves slightly tedious button-pushing input, but I appreciate the machine's solid performance and the ease of setting it up in a new network.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and is easy to navigate using the MENU
*by R***N on September 1, 2016*

This Brother DCPL2540DW Monochrome Laser Multi Function Printer / Copier / Scanner has a small footprint, and comes with a 35 page automatic document feeder (ADF), adjustable 250 page capacity paper tray, starter toner cartridge, but not a USB cable (most printers these days don't ship with USB / printer cables anymore). The on-device control interface has a two-line lcd display and a few labeled buttons. The on-device menuing system is at most 3 levels deep only, and is easy to navigate using the MENU, +/UP, -/DOWN, OK, and STOP/EXIT buttons. The device is easy to set up for wireless printing, and if you have a USB / printer cable, for wired printing as well. The included Basic User's Guide is minimalistic but sufficient to get you started in the right direction, and a link to a fuller online user's guide is provided. I have a USB cable so I initially set this device up for wired printing from my Windows 8.1 computer. The device driver that's automatically installed after Windows detected the device is not a full-featured driver, so I installed the MFL-Pro Software Suite from the included CD. Once that software suite has been installed, if you bring up the Devices and Printers view from the Windows Control Panel and right-click on the icon for this printer, you'll see that the context menu that pops up has separate Printing Preferences and Printer Properties menu items. The Properties dialog box gives you options such as what pages of your document to print, and a check box to select or unselect duplex printing. The Preferences dialog box gives you options such as enable Print Preview, and Print Document with a custom settable Watermark (such as the word Confidential, or Draft, etc). After some initial testing of the printing and scanning functionalities (discussed more below), I went back to the MFL-Pro Software Suite mentioned above to set the device up for wireless operations, which required some software to be installed, detection of your network, and providing the appropriate password for your wireless network. The set up process was a breeze and I did not encounter any problem. * PRINTING The print speed is as advertised -- about 30 pages per minute (ppm), slower of course if you're printing double-sided. You can set resolution to 300, 600, and 1200 dpi. Both text and graphics outputs are clear and crisp. To save money, if the documents you're printing are not that important, you can enable 'Toner Save' option, and / or print multiple document pages per output page. I've done several 30-50 page print jobs, and have so far not experienced paper jams. You can use different sized paper, including legal and envelopes, by just adjusting the paper guides. Printing on envelopes requires more work that's described in the user's guide, but there is a cool video in the manufacturer's support website that shows you what to do. If you have the MFL-Pro Software Suite mentioned above installed, look for the Brother Utilities desktop icon and click on it, then choose Support -> On-line help and FAQ's. On the manufacturer's "FAQ's and Troubleshooting" web page that this gets you to, look for the Video FAQs in the "Other" category, and you'll see an entry for Printing on Envelopes. One thing I noticed with printing is that once a document is opened, changes to Printing Preferences (say, enabling or disabling printing watermarks) do not take effect until you close and reopen the document, which can come as a surprise to some. * SCANNING You can scan by putting your documents through the automatic document feeder or placing them one at a time onto the scanner glass. There is an on-device SCAN button that you can press, but I find it easier to control scanning using the software installed on my Windows computer. Click on the Brother Utilities desktop icon if you have the above-mentioned MFL-Pro Software Suite installed, then select SCAN -> ControlCenter4 (CC4). With the CC4, you can do Image or OCR scans, and save the results in formats such as JPEG, TIFF, Windows Bitmap, PNG, PDF, Searchable PDF, etc. By default, the results will be saved to labeled folders within the Control Center 4 folder under Documents>Pictures, unless you specify a different location. If you have a supported email application such as Microsoft Outlook, you can set things up so that scan results can be automatically attached to an email. Because I only use free web mail services (which are not supported), I wasn't able to test this functionality. Scanning speed is fast. In my testing, I can confirm that saving results into JPEG, PDF, and Searchable PDFs did work without a problem at all (I did not attempt to save the results into the other possible formats). * COPYING There are two limited ways you can achieve 2-sided copying if you want to save paper. The first way is to place the document you want to copy one page at a time onto the scanner glass. Before you start copying, press the on-device OPTION button to navigate to the Two-Sided menu option, temporarily enable it, then press the START button. With this method, you will be asked to manually flip the document when the device is ready to fill up the back of an output sheet. The second way is to feed the pages of your document through the automatic document feeder (ADF). Again, before you start copying, press the on-device OPTION button to navigate to the Two-Sided menu option, temporarily enable it, then press the START button. What you'll get is the following: Say you feed two sheets of paper to the ADF, and each sheet contains the word "FRONT" on one side, and "BACK" on the other side. If you stack these input sheets such that the sides with the word "FRONT" are facing UP, both sides of the single output sheet will contain the word "FRONT." So this method makes sense only if you want to save paper by copying single-sided inputs to double-sided outputs. * TONER CARTRIDGE You can replace the included starter toner cartridge with either the TN630 (max yield approximately 1200 pages) or TN660 (max yield approximately 2600 pages) cartridges. At the time of this review, the TN630 and TN660 are selling in Amazon for about 43 and 68 dollars, respectively.
