Brother HL-730 PLUS Printer
Review:
The Brother HL-730 PLUS is a
multifunction laser printer that can also copy and fax. It is designed for home
and small office environment, but can still handle a fairly large volume of
printing when needed. Brother HL-730 PLUS toner costs are low, making it easy
on the wallet.
The machine measures 18 inches by
13.2 inches by 9.9 inches and weighs 18.7 pounds. Although it isn't necessarily
bulky, it takes up a larger footprint than most laser printers, such as the
LaserJet 2300 toner printer. Printing resolution is 600 dpi for sharp print
quality and the fax speeds are limited to 14.4 kbps. Copying and faxing are a
bit limited by the lack of a flatbed scanning surface, so users can only scan
and fax pages that will go through its sheet-fed scanner. The amount of
functionality packed into a single, affordable machine tends to balance out its
few shortcomings, however.
Brother HL-730 PLUS toner
cartridges have page yield of 2,200 pages at 5% coverage. Compared to dedicated
printers and fax machines in Brother's line, the HL-730 PLUS offers the best of
both in a single machine, at only a slightly higher price. In fact, buyers
looking for a dedicated fax may want to spend a bit more for this model, even
if they don't have a need for the printing capabilities at the moment.
Overall, the Brother HL-730 PLUS
is an affordable solution for a small office's printing and faxing needs and
has the bonus of being a capable copy machine. The low price and relatively
high capacity of Brother HL-730 PLUS toner makes it an even better value.
