Key Advantages

The Brother HL-4040CDN offers fast printing speeds of up to 24 ppm to enhance office productivity. Its high print resolution produces sharp and vibrant color documents. The inclusion of standard Ethernet connectivity simplifies network integration and sharing. Duplex printing capability reduces paper consumption and operational costs. Separate toner cartridges allow for economical replacement and less waste. The printer’s expandable memory supports more demanding print tasks, enhancing performance.

Limitations

The HL-4040CDN has a relatively modest default memory of 128 MB, which may require upgrades for intensive use. The maximum paper capacity is limited compared to some larger office printers, potentially requiring more frequent refills. It does not support wireless connectivity, relying solely on wired Ethernet connections. The first page out time is around 15 seconds, which can be slower compared to newer models. It lacks some advanced touchscreen or user interface features common in modern printers. Additionally, the printer’s overall size might be bulky for smaller office spaces.
