Brother HL-5050LT Printer Review:
The Brother HL-5050LT laser
printer is suitable for the small or medium office environment. It has fast
printing speeds and well-designed multifunction features, and multiple models
to meet different needs. However, Its bulky frame might be too large for tight
spaces.
The Brother HL-5050LT is a
multifunction device that can print, scan, copy, and fax. In addition to the
standard faxing feature, it also supports PC faxing, where users can send a fax
directly from a program on their computer. The Brother HL-5050LT has paper
capacity of 300 sheets, divided among a 250-sheet for the standard tray and a
50-sheet for the multipurpose tray.
Two additional models are
available for this model. The HL-5050LTD adds automatically duplexing, or
double-sided printing, which opens up more printing possibilities for users.
The HL-5050LTDN adds both duplexing and built-in ethernet networking. This
allows the printer to be easily connected and shared across a network of
multiple computers.
Brother HL-5050LT toner
cartridges have a capacity of 3,300 pages. A high-yield laser toner cartridge
is also available with a capacity of 6,500 pages. The printer toner cartridge
is a bit tricky to remove and replace, but not impossible. The use of
compatible cartridges does not void the printer warranty.
Print and copy quality is
excellent for Brother HL-5050LT model. Printed text is very sharp and detailed,
with readable text even at small font sizes.
