SIMPLE AND COMPACT

The matte-black-and-gray HL-L2370DW is suitably compact for a budget mono laser. It measures 7.2 by 14 by 14.2 inches (HWD), and weighs 15.9 pounds. You should easily be able to find a spot for it on your desk. On top of the printer, a one-line monochrome display to the left of the output tray, combined with a small suite of function buttons, facilitates setup and maintenance.

The HL-L2370DW’s paper handling is typical of a color laser in its price class. It includes a 250-sheet main tray plus a one-sheet multipurpose feeder. An autoduplexer, for printing on both sides of a sheet of paper, comes standard. The maximum monthly duty cycle is 15,000 pages, making it suitable for up to medium-duty use in a micro or small office.

Connectivity choices include connecting to a computer via a USB cable or to a local network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. It can also connect via a direct peer-to-peer connection to a compatible device using Wi-Fi Direct. The HL-L2370DW supports Google Cloud Print, works with the Brother iPrint&Scan app, and is AirPrintcompatible to facilitate printing from iOS devices.
