Brother HL-6050DW Printer Review:

The Brother HL-6050DW is a monochrome laser printer designed for the small or medium office environment. The print quality is good with fast printing speed. The Brother HL-6050DW measures 12.2 inches by 15.7 inches by 16.7 inches (HWD), and weighs 32 pounds. The printer’s main tray can hold up to 500 sheets. In addition, the multipurpose tray can hold up to 100 sheets depending on the media type. If more paper capacity is needed, a second 500-sheet tray can be added.

The HL-6050DW has a 200 MHz processor and 32 MB of memory, but the memory can be upgraded to 160 MB if needed. This will be particularly necessary when sharing the printer among multiple network users.

Brother HL-6050DW printer toner cartridges are low cost. The standard Brother toner cartridge has a capacity of around 7,500 pages, and Brother includes a full-size cartridge with the printer, rather than a starter cartridge. The use of compatible cartridges does not void the printer warranty.

Print speed is quite fast, at about 18 pages per minute for text and 17 pages per minute for graphics. Print quality is excellent for text but not the case for graphics.

Overall, the Brother HL-6050DW offers the expandability that a growing office needs with great document printing capabilities.
