The Brother HL-6050DN printer is a monochrome, laser printer designed for inclusion in the small business network. Brother has long been known for producing economy products, however the HL-6050DL can stand up to better known product names and compete on an equal basis.
Brother provides instant networkability in the HL-6050DN. An Ethernet 10/100 interface allows the HL-6050DN to be included into the network seamlessly and transparently. One of the major advantages of the HL-6050DN is its capacity. While competitors only offer 250 sheet paper trays of letter sized stock, the HL6050DN provides 500 sheet (full ream) paper trays that have the ability to hold either letter or legal sized paper. A single paper tray is provided with the printer and an optional second paper tray permits the user to place letter sized paper in one tray and legal sized in the second. The availability of a copious amount of paper in different sizes permits faster and simpler utilization of this printer.
The generous paper tray requires that the toner cartridges and drum in this laser printer allow for volume printing jobs. The TN670 toner cartridge will yield approximately 7,500 pages with 5% coverage when printed on letter sized paper. The DR600 drum unit will provide for 30,000 pages. This toner cartridge and drum combination allow for less down time while toner cartridge and drum are being changed along with a low printed page cost.
Brother has designed the HL6050DN for the network environment. With that in mind, 32MB of memory is provided as standard. Should the memory in the printer need to be expanded Brother has provided a slot, which will accept additional memory chips. These chips are available as 16MB, 32MB, 64MB and 128MB. The ability to expand the printers’ memory in various sizes permits the small business workgroup to customize the printer for their exact needs.
Printing speed on the HL-6050DN is a quick 18 pages per minute. The initial page is printed in 11 seconds after it is transmitted to t he printer. While these rates may be marginally slower than competitors, the rates will provide acceptable performance to all but the most discriminating user.
Once out of the box and connected to the network, the HL-6050DN is setup through Brother’s Quick Start utility program. This utility can be installed either in the system tray or in it’s own separate area. The utility provides even the novice the ability to set up and utilize the printer in a minimal amount of time.
Brother has designed the HL6050DN to operate in any platform environment. Whether the small business has Windows, Apple or Linux as the environment of choice, the HL6050DN will fit seamlessly into that environment. The network that the HL6050DN is placed in can be either a hardwired or wireless network. The software in the HL6050DN will perform most adequately in either network.
A quality product combined with the economies of the HL 6050DN Toner and Brother DR600 drum make the Brother HL Compatible Toner a serious competitor in the small business laser printer market. Significant savings both in initial cost and daily operation combined with versatile, quality output make the Brother HL-6050DN highly worthy for consideration by any small business.
