Key Advantages

The Brother HL-2280DW offers fast print speeds of up to 27 ppm, enhancing office productivity. Wireless connectivity enables flexible printer placement without the need for cables. Automatic duplex printing helps save paper costs and supports environmentally friendly workflows. Its high print resolution ensures crisp and clear text and graphics. The 250-sheet paper capacity reduces the frequency of paper refills, suitable for moderate volume printing. Additionally, the printer operates with a relatively low cost per page compared to competing laser printers in its class.

Limitations

This model is a monochrome-only printer, lacking color printing capabilities. It does not support scanning or copying functions, limiting its use to printing tasks alone. The printer's memory of 64MB may be restrictive for very complex print jobs or large documents. The paper input capacity is moderate and may require frequent refilling in larger workgroup environments. It lacks advanced touchscreen controls, relying on basic button interfaces. Lastly, this model does not support modern mobile print standards such as NFC or Apple AirPrint natively, requiring workarounds for some mobile devices.
