Review on Efficient Duplex Printing: Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Laser Printer for High-Quality Documents by Joshua Bell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

TIPS and things to know

1. The toner cartridge belt trick doesn't work with this cartridge/printer. The printer counts the pages and each time there is some toner left in the cartridge. Sometimes it is enough to print 500 or more pages2. A popular after-sales toner, something didn't sit right with me. I googled and reset the cartridge by opening the page and turning the plastic dial to the 8:00 position. Now I keep my fingers crossed and hope this continues to work3. The poster on Revain suggests that when your current cartridge is almost empty, you press the start button seven times, then you can continue printing. I have tried this and it works I have connected this printer to my Mac Mini and by sharing the printer on my network in Preferences I can print wirelessly from my laptop by installing a program called Bonjour or something similar on the laptop . This enables me to do this. (Had to google) 5. Many people say that you need to reset the drum counter every time you change the toner cartridge. My understanding is that you leave the front cover open and then press the start button for about four seconds until all the lights illuminate and then release. Then close the door, the drum light must be off

Pros
