What You Should Know about the HL-2070N

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.

User Reviews for Brother HL-2070N

  • Reviewed by: kelli18

    Duration of ownership: 1 Year

    Strengths: Great computer for the price if you do a lot of printing in back ink. The ink last so much longer and prints fast.

    Weaknesses: A little bit of curve in the paper.

    Overall Evaluation: I would buy another one if this one breaks. it is so cost effective. Great for students!

    Duration of ownership: 18 Months

    Strengths: Reliable printing and excellent toner life make it a clear choice in the home business sector or for any home user that doesn't require colour printing.

    Weaknesses: No multi-purpose tray or high capacity toner.

    Overall Evaluation: After reading the reviews of those people having problems at 2 months time I thought it important share my experiance. Installation was very simple; and everytime I've clicked print pages have come out. More than I can say for any HP I've owned in the workplace! 18 months, 6 toner replacments, 2 drum replacements and no problems. It's paid for itself over high capacity ink jets.
