Limitations
The HL-6180DW does not support color printing as it is a monochrome laser printer, limiting use to black and white documents only. Its 64 MB RAM might restrict print job complexity or slow down processing of large documents. The printer lacks touchscreen controls, relying on physical buttons and basic LCD screen which can limit user interface experience. The device toner cartridges are proprietary which may increase running cost compared to generic options. It does not include fax or scanning functions, meaning it is dedicated solely to printing.
