Key Advantages
The HL-2270DW provides fast printing speeds, up to 27 ppm, which is efficient for busy offices. Its wireless networking capability offers versatile placement and printing convenience without cables. Automatic duplex printing helps reduce paper consumption, promoting eco-friendly office practices. The printer's compact design saves space on office desks or workstations. It supports high print resolution, ensuring sharp and clear text documents. Additionally, the inclusion of a multipurpose tray allows handling envelopes and different paper sizes, increasing flexibility.
Limitations
Being a monochrome laser printer, the HL-2270DW does not support color printing, limiting its use for color document needs. The printer lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF) or scanning capabilities, functioning solely as a printer. While the 250-sheet input tray is adequate for small offices, larger offices may find it insufficient requiring frequent reloads. The device does not support newer wireless protocols like Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6, limiting maximum network speed. Its onboard memory and processor may not handle very complex or large print jobs as efficiently as higher-end models. The printer produces some level of noise typical of laser printers, which may be noticeable in quiet environments.
