Laser printers have been around for quite a while, and they are generally considered to be quite good. They are faster than most inkjet printers and produce higher-quality output. They are also more expensive to purchase and operate, however.
Laser printers are better for infrequent use because they have a longer lifespan. They also print faster and at a higher quality than inkjet printers.
It's generally recommended that you turn off your printer when you're not using it. However, if you're using your printer regularly, you can leave it on 24/7. There are a few things to consider if you do this, such as printer maintenance and power consumption.
No, you cannot use inkjet paper in a laser printer. Laser printers use heat to fuse the toner to the paper, and inkjet paper is not designed to withstand that kind of heat. If you try to use inkjet paper in a laser printer, it is likely to melt, smudge, or otherwise produce poor-quality prints.

Yes, after using inkjet printers for more than two decades in a variety of job settings as both a personal geek and an IT support specialist, I had had enough of the inkjet craze.After being fired from my job at Christmas this year, beginning the job search, and dealing with that mess, only to discover that my fourth or fifth inkjet printer in roughly eight years had become clogged AGAIN due to my sporadic lack of use, costing me over $60 in ink, and that I would then have to spend countless hours troubleshooting, running test prints, and wasting a ton of ink and money trying to clear the dried jet heads on my $120 Canon PixmaSince I've been the IT guy for more than 14 years, I've worked with a lot of Brothers over the years. Although I'm somewhat biased toward HP LaserJets, Brothers laser printers have a good track record in my book for being generally dependable, solid, easy to troubleshoot and fix, and also pretty darn good up front cost e compared to other brands, particularly Canon and HP.I've worked on numerous MFC models over the past ten years, and the MFC series and the simpler HL printer only series are essentially equivalent. I chose to pay more money than the well-known but outdated 2014-2015 HL- L2380DW after conducting my usual study. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HRG01A4 Since that model and the more recent HL-L2395DW have two significant differences,1. The new 2395 has a 600 MHz CPU, up from 266 MHz in the 2380.2. RAM on the new 2395 increased from 64 Megabytes on the 2380 to 128 Megabytes.These two component modifications are crucial for the operation of laser printing for a variety of reasons, but primarily because:1. A faster CPU results in fewer complex print jobs being processed, especially when using built-in printer apps and cloud storage apps.2. As a result of less connection between the printer and computer when the RAM is larger, tasks will be cached and print more quickly.In comparison to the earlier 2380DW model, the new 2395DW model also offers a modest advantage in these areas:1. The 2395 produces prints and copies at 36ppm as opposed to 32ppm for the 2380.2. The maximum number of pages that can be used in a month increases from 10,000 in 2380 to 15,000 in 2395.3. 2395DW now includes Near Field Communication for smartphones4. A reduction in energy use. 2395 uses 1.2W in sleep mode compared to 5.8W in 2380, 43.5W in ready mode versus 60W, and 450W in printing mode versus 510W.Visual alterations1. The exterior of the new 2395 is more angular, with wider side handles and a thicker scanner lid. a preference I have here2. On the primary control panel of the New 2395, the touch-sensitive buttons have been replaced with conventional push buttons. If this is a good or negative thing, only time will tell.The fact that the toner cartridges and drums for the new 2395DW model are COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT from those for the older 2380DW model is by far the biggest difference, which may confuse some customers.Drum DR730, Standard Toner TN730, and High Yield Toner TN760 are required for the new 2395DW model.Drum DR630; Standard Toner TN630; High Yield Toner TN660; Old 2380DW ModelIn other words, if you have TN630 or TN660 Brother toners or refurbished or less expensive non-Brother toners on hand, they WILL NOT WORK in this new 2395DW model! You MUST USE TN730 or TN770 from Brother's new 700 series of toners and drums with this new device!After getting that confirmation, I decided to take out my black laser beauty to check if it was worth the more cost of entry for being brand-new and giving up Inkjets for good:1. Setting up is simple. Seriously. Follow the instructions for installing via USB, wifi, or ethernet after downloading the most recent Brother drivers from the website. Use a current CD instead; see an IT professional. Additionally, the iPrint@Scan software shouldn't be downloaded or installed because it is too big to be of any value.2. Thank God, I didn't even have to set the time manually because the printer started up immediately the first time and drew its settings from the computer via my ethernet connection.3. Ethernet printing is quick and immediate, but USB printing is also a fantastic choice if it's close to your computer. The quality of your router and WiFi setup will determine how stable or unstable your wireless connections are at any one time.4. Touch printers The LCD panel responds quickly, is straightforward to use, and is simple to read.5. Thankfully, Brother preserved the option to convert Low Toner END to CONTINUAL, allowing you to use your toner until it completely runs out rather than having the printer advise you to buy more toner. But bear in mind that your print quality can degrade.6. The printer is not particularly quiet, but this is not a problem for me. If you are extremely sensitive about noise, there is a quiet print mode, but expect slow printouts because your printing speed is reduced by at least half.7. I recommend this mode to save on toner because the prints I've produced still come out quite black and dark even with Eco toner mode enabled.8. To my opinion, the default print and scan settings produce printouts of high quality. If you're particular, you can increase the DPI, but doing so will make prints and scans take longer.9. If you're printing in the dark, it's going to be fun because Brother eliminated the backlighting for the number pad and non-LCD buttons.Unfortunately, there are various flaws in this printer, and Brother's cost-cutting measures for this improved model include the following:Not built-in.The maximum speed of AC wireless is.N, the same as the earlier 2380. Brother, are you serious? Nowadays, WiFi reigns supreme for flexibility.2. Ethernet is only 100 megabits right now. What in the world? There was no justifiable need to reduce this either, since 1 gigabit NICS are currently extremely inexpensive.3. No USB 3.0? There is no justification at all for printers to still have outdated USB 2.0 today.Overall, I was ecstatic and astounded at how quickly this printer can print from a dead battery to ready mode, especially after waiting for years for dreadfully sluggish and noisy inkjet printers to prime, test, and get ready.I shall miss the color of Inkjet, but I most definitely won't miss the dreadful speed, noise, cost effectiveness, troubleshooting, memories, and blackened hands from unclogged inkjet heads! Brother and Laser are to be praised!

Scan to PC, Airprint (iPhone), print from desktop PC (running Windows), and Macbook Air laptop have all been installed recently and successfully. All of these gadgets are wireless, however I did use Ethernet to link my Motorola router and modem. On my Windows desktop computer, I utilized the offered installation disc to complete the installation. After that, it prompted me to install the two brief updates that were made available to me. Overall, the time it took to connect the cords to the wiring behind my entertainment center was longer than the actual installation of the printer, which makes me VERY happy.Like other reviewers, I debated whether to purchase this model due to the unfavorable comments; however, after removing the L2540DW reviews and focusing on the L2550DW, I saw some of the complaints (most of which were insignificant), and I concentrated on installing the printer via ethernet to make it simpler, which it was. Even though setting up previous printers or even a new internet connection in a new apartment without an ethernet is always a hassle, I can't speak to setup via wireless Wi-Fi only (that seems to be the big complaint). However, I will say that so far, I am pleased with the print quality and install speed. I would follow other reviewers' advice and go directly to the Brother website to obtain the software before installing if you're only going to set up over Wi-Fi.On the advice of MPFerry (thanks! ), I also immediately turned off "DEEP SLEEP" mode as follows:"When printing:1) The menu button2. General Configuration, then OK2. Ecology is ok then.Sleep Time, then OK 4.5. When you see the sleep number, simultaneously press the Minus and Stop/Exit buttons.6. Push the Minus button to turn the device off, then click OK.This ought to permanently disable Deep Sleep mode! (Or at least until the subsequent firmware upgrade is installed, after which you might need to repeat the process.)"Now, I have user Allegra to thank for the following, which will disable the warning Brother sends you when it THINKS you are out of ink:"Follow these directions after you click the buttons:MENU >> GLOBAL SETTINGSuntil REPLACE TONER appears, press the down button (minus sign).Press the down (minus) button until CONTINUE appears.Hit OK"When it's time to refill toner, I intend to follow other suggestions and remove the chip from the original Brother brand toner and save it to put on the generic toner I'll buy.I did need to download the Brother iPrint

My wife and I run a small business out of an office in our house. In my office, there are three PCs and four printers. To replace the Brother MFC-7820, which is still functional, I bought this printer. My go-to printer for practically everything is the Brother. The MFC-7820 only supports Windows 8 as a printer, and I use it as a multi-function machine, so that is the only reason for the replacement.When the MFCL2740DW became available for purchase in the US, I noticed that it said "coming soon" and placed my order.After a week, it came. It wasn't accessible through PRIME. ( If FedEx had not insisted on a signature, which was not specified on the order, I would have received it three days sooner.)My old printer's footprint is nearly identical to that of the new one. The old printer had a cable connection, but I set it up using the wireless network because it was quick and easy. It's a good bonus to have both options available. The printer quickly and easily connected. Despite the fact that a little larger screen would be ideal, the color touch screen is still a nice feature. Compared to the previous LCD screen, the color screen is significantly simpler to read.I adore it so far. Without my help, scanning in High Res color (600 dpi) and on both sides of the paper happens much more quickly. Print quality is outstanding.My printer is set to the quiet mode, which is a little slower, but the print speed is still quick enough that I can talk on the phone in my tiny office while it prints.There are two toner cartridge options. The high yield is slightly more expensive than other Brother cartridges with the same capacity ($58 on Amazon for the high yield 2600 page TN660), but if your company does not print as many pages, I found a price of $33 for the 1200 page TN630 cartridge.I haven't yet attempted printing with an Android device. I do have the app, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet.The paper drawer and other plastic pieces don't seem to be as durable as they were on the older printer, which is the only drawback I can think of. It seems to be sturdy enough, but only time will tell.Given that it is a Brother, I anticipate that new printer will be just as dependable and durable as my last one.

Excellent, simple to use, and compact printer. The fact that it prints solely in black wasn't a problem for me because I use this for packing slips and mailing labels when I sell items on eBay and Etsy. Although printing from a phone is simple, I don't think it's a huge deal. The printer's ability to be registered with Google Cloud Print, however, allows you to print from any computer or phone from anywhere, even thousands of miles away. Why some reviews complain about a difficult setup or being unable to print from their PC baffles me. By far, this was the simplest wireless setup I've ever attempted (previous wireless printers were all Canon). The printer was initially configured using the HP Android app. After downloading and installing the Windows driver software, my PC had no trouble detecting the printer and printing to it. And I use a five-year-old Toshiba laptop running Windows 8.1, not a brand-new PC. I didn't make use of any of the included CDs for the printer. Simply downloading from HP, in my opinion, is faster and simpler. A USB cable is provided by the computer so that it can physically connect to another computer. Additionally, Wi-Fi Direct can be used to connect wirelessly even if you don't have a wireless router (I haven't tried it yet). I saw an internet review of this after I had already purchased it, but before I had actually received it. It was a very positive review overall, with the sole criticism being that "the font seemed a touch too light and pale." I was a little uneasy about that because I print a lot of shipping labels that are really dark black, but I can't tell the difference between these and the ones I used to print on an inkjet. I bought it to save money on ink cartridges because I was using at least one black cartridge a month, which costs $28 each. Thoughts of the Epsons with refillable ink tanks crossed my mind, but I ultimately chose this model because of several drawbacks. The HP toner can be purchased online for just $5 extra than I was paying for the Canon ink, and it produces 1,000 pages as opposed to 300 for a Canon 240XL ink cartridge.

After my second Canon became a brick after less than two years, I was forced to purchase a printer. I did my homework to locate the greatest option available at my budget range, and I purchased this HP. Although I was delighted with the print quality of my HP printers for years, I stopped purchasing them due of their software. They've thankfully taken care of that.I have now revised my review four times. It began with a 3-star rating, moved up to a 4, then to a 5, then dropped to a 2 (yeow), and is now back at a 5. The substantial network instability was the reason for the "2" grade. Except for this printer, everything else on my network appeared to function normally using a new TPLink wireless router. I gave the printer a 2 after noticing some strange activity on the router. The router performed significantly better after speaking with their tech support and making some adjustments. It's amazing that more than a month later the printer hasn't lost connectivity.It works flawlessly with my Win10, Linux, and iPad systems, and both the print quality and speed are excellent.I've only recently (8/27/19) started using the document feeder, another perk. I've never had a printer like that at home before. It certainly beats scanning five pages while hunched over the printer. The feed into the scanner is only slightly ajar, which is the main problem. I tried aligning the scan, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Even so, if I don't have to manually feed it in, I'll put up with somewhat wonky scans. Cool, the feeder also functions for copies.Let's move on to the security issues. I'm not sure what they were thinking when they had the printer have both a connection to my WiFi and a separate WiFi of its own. It appears as though they are evading my security. For whatever purposes their WiFi provides, I don't require it. My main gripe is that the printer setup should have been as easy as yes/no. To turn it off, I had to go look for it.The fact that they give HP technical diagnostic data raises a second issue. No identifying information, they claim. I don't care. Any information that leaves my network without my permission is not allowed. Once more, the printer configuration should have made this an easy yes/no decision, but I had to look for it.The HP iPhone app setup allowed the printer to extract my network's SSID and password from the iPhone and store them in the printer, which isn't really an HP problem. I had no notion that an iPhone app could access network information. I believed that the information in the iPhone settings was only intended to be used to allow apps to connect to the network. If I had to guess, I would say that the HP iPhone app made its initial connection to configure the home WiFi information by connecting to the printer's exclusive WiFi. All right. But at that moment, a straightforward prompt should make the HP proprietary network disappear.

This all-in-one is fairly thorough for the price. It isn't perfect in every way, and the build quality is more suited for home than office use, but it does come with a nice selection of features at an excellent value.Setup: really simple. Basically, all you need to do to finish the hardware is remove it from the box, remove the tape holding the parts together during transit, and attach the toner cartridge. It comes with a short setup poster that is simple to read and takes you through each step.Build quality: Not bad for the price. Heavy use is not intended for this product. When inserting or removing the paper tray or opening and closing the scan bed on this printer, you must exercise caution. It works best for light office work or at home. Because of their small weight, the trays and frame won't tolerate being jostled around in a busy office. I appreciate that there are no protruding output trays and that the footprint is fairly small. The "cubby" under the scanner platen is where prints land.User interface: Simple and straightforward, yet very basic. It sports a modestly clear LCD screen on its compact size. Without scrolling, not much in the way of messages may be displayed. Although each button has a distinct label, they are usually small, squishy, and don't offer much feedback. The claimed capacity of the paper tray is 250 sheets, and it is simple to load. For things like labels, there is a single-sheet bypass available. The paper being taken from the tray makes the loudest sound during operation, which is generally quiet. It is so silent that it cannot be heard operating from a nearby room.Software configuration: You must install the Brother software in order to make it functional for PC or network use. It will look and feel quite familiar if you have ever used any other Brother products; if not, it is incredibly simple to use. Just adhere to the directions. Regarding printing/scanning possibilities, the Brother software is extensive and simple to use. There is an online manual, but it won't be difficult if you have even the most fundamental knowledge of PCs. Both network printing and direct-connect printing are supported. With either, there were no setup issues for me.Print quality: Not terrible. Especially when there are images or very small writing, it is clear but not perfectly precise. For printing text files and simple images, it works just well (e.g., pie charts, etc.). Since this is a B/W printer, it's not the best option for photographs anyway, thus it's not excellent with photos.Copying: I was taken aback by the variety of features it had. For instance, it contains a button just for ID copying that enables you to print off a single sheet of paper with copies of both sides of an ID card or license. Additionally, it can convert 1-sided originals into 2-sided copies and the opposite. There are many other format choices—much more than I had anticipated. The fact that the ADF is just single-sided is the only real disadvantage. Utilizing the glass top, you must replicate double-sided originals one side at a time.Scanning: Does a respectable job, and the Brother software offers a number of adjustments that address the majority of frequent circumstances. Scans passed without error and were converted to PDF files.Since I haven't sent or received a fax in years, I was unable to test it.It comes with a 1,200-page toner cartridge, the TN-730. It can also use the 3,000-page TN-760 printer. Both are sold on Amazon, and the costs are reasonable. Although the 760 is more cost-effective, if you only use your computer sometimes, the 730 is a more affordable choice. The toner is easy to load. It is self-sufficient; no additional consumables (like a drum unit) need to be changed.It receives a strong 4-star rating. At this price point, I don't expect moon and stars, but the absence of a double-sided ADF is a significant flaw. While completely adequate for routine use and simple business letters, the print quality for graphics is not as sharp as other laser printers at the same entry-level pricing. However, if you're looking for a cheap laser printer for home use that can handle printing, scanning, and copying (and faxing, assuming that's something people still do! ), this one should be on your short list.

Even for a girl like me who is not very tech aware, setting up this printer is not too difficult. It worked because I meticulously followed the directions in the instructions. The 12" gold Macbook I use has OS X 10.11 El Capitan installed. It took me a while to find out how to use the printer without a keypad to enter my wifi password. (Simply keep pushing up/down until you find the letter you want, then press OK.)The identical issue with my laptop not being able to send print jobs to the printer even though it was already connected happened to me. I think the issue is the DEEP SLEEP indicator on the screen since who could work in DEEP SLEEP? (or at least that was my reasoning). So, in an effort to find a way to disable it, I read reviews. VOILA! It immediately printed.If you don't want to look for it, I'll copy the instructions for turning off deep sleep here.Scroll through the menu options using the arrow buttons...general setup, then click OK.Afterward, ecologyOKAY, SLEEP TIMEPush Down Arrow and BACK at the same moment as the sleep time is being displayed! then click OK.Toggle DEEP SLEEP on/off with the arrow keysOK to turn off Deep Sleep.While reading reviews, I came across someone advising setting the toner to Continue Mode as soon as possible to prevent toner waste (as once the replace toner signal is activated, you cannot use up the remaining toner in there). I also did that because I considered it to be reasonable.General Setup, Toner Replacement, and Continue are the steps.Despite the fact that I never write reviews, I feel obligated to do so because they helped me avoid stress.

I'm aware that another reviewer claimed they spent hours trying to find a way to reset the toner on this printer, which is different from ALL previous Brother printers, but I'm here to tell you two things: First, trust me when I say my Kung-Fu is STRONG... and second, there IS a way to reset the toner and save yourself a ton of money by getting more bang for your buck. The steps you need to follow are as follows:1. When changing the toner in the printer, open the front toner door, but avoid removing the toner tray (unless you want to do it for fun; it's not necessary).2. Quickly press the top and bottom buttons of the three buttons on the right, labeled "back" and "cancel," in EXACT SAME MOMENTS, and then release (it will almost certainly take at LEAST a couple of tries and if you get to anything other than the reset screen start over). Holding the buttons down will NOT bring up the reset screen. DO NOT do this. If you unintentionally back out of the "open door" message, simply press the message again in the top left corner to return to the "Open Door" screen.3. The reset screen should now appear; all you have to do is choose the toner cartridge you want to reset (K. = black, C. = cyan, etc.). Also keep in mind that each one offers THREE choices for toner cartridges: regular, high yield, and ultra high yield.4. To restart, click yes.5. Press the Back button, then wait for the printer to restart. Similar to when you turn the printer on and off, it takes a minute or two.6. Print, and print a lot! As if there is no tomorrow!There is still plenty of toner in there, but inevitably the "replace toner" screen will appear when it reaches a certain page count, and there is NO other way to get past it than either doing what I just described or replacing it with a new toner cartridge. You are *super* welcome for the money that I just saved you.Additionally, I STRONGLY advise choosing the "Super High Yield" cartridges and saving even more money by purchasing all four as a bundle after thoroughly researching all three toner cartridge options for each color. You'll save the most money and replace toner *far* less frequently if you calculate the cost per page for each of the three sizes. Even though they are physically the SAME size as the conventional cartridge, buying all four of them will cost more than the printer (unless you get a good price). However, they will last three times longer than the standard cartridge. It all depends on how much toner is LOCATED WITHIN the cartridge.If this was helpful to you, kindly push, smash, or lightly press the "Helpful" button for fun because, in all honesty, it's the right thing to do—or not. Either way, everything is nice. :-)

Since I've been in the information technology field for more than 17 years (and even longer as the "family computer guy"), I've encountered a wide variety of printers, including Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, Konica, HP, and Ricoh, each of which has pros and cons. But one thing is constant: HP is the most popular brand in business, and for good reason!How does this monochrome (printing just in black and white) HP LJ Pro M404dw perform? Quite well!PROS - Sharp, clear text and graphics printing - Quick print times (up to 40 ppm)- Small, strong, and aesthetically pleasing- WiFi, WiFi Direct (device directly linked to printer), Ethernet wired network, or USB cable printing are all available printing choices. The WiFi/WiFi Direct options are absent from the M404dn model.- Easy WiFi configuration by downloading the HP Smart app (Apple iOS/Android), which supports mobile printing. - Capable of printing straight from mobile devices (both Android and Apple iOS).• Duplex printing for supported sizes (prints on both sides (letter, legal, executive, etc)- Available advanced network and security configuration (partially through the HP Smart app, and completely through a web browser interface)Work with HP 550-sheet feeder tray D9P29A. Tray 1 opens on the front for checks, envelopes, and manual feeding. Tray 2 holds paper for 250-sheet feeding.- HP Smart app easily identified the printer and provided settings, usage, and statistical data - USB cord was included- Google Cloud Print is compatible with Apple Macs and AirPrint (to set up, the printer will waste 2 sheets: one with instructions and another to confirm setup was completed)- Quiet mode (prints more silently at the sacrifice of speed, however I didn't find the usual mode to be noisy) - Extended replacement toner available for VERY large capacity printing- Power on/off/sleep modes that can be customized to be automatic- 19 lbs. of relatively light weightCONS - Did not come with an Ethernet cable and replacement toners are EXPENSIVE (HP 58A 3,000-page capacity and HP 58X 10,000-page capacity).TIPS - "HP Easy Start," available on the HP website, is the program to download for Windows and Mac OS. "HP Smart" is the program to use with mobile devices (Apple iOS/Android). By locating the IP address on the printer (or through the HP apps) and entering it into your web browser, you may access the entire, complete printer setup.Overall, this is a great, business-class device with the speed and clarity the LaserJet Pro series is known for, as is true of the majority of HP printers. The HP M404dn (USB/wired network) model is still an excellent buy, especially at the current $219 pricing, but I prefer the HP M404dw (WiFi) model over the HP M404dn (USB/wired network) for its versatility of not needing to be attached to the network.To encourage me to write more reviews, please click the "Helpful" button below if you found this one to be useful.

Highly RecommendedThis printer, in my opinion, is ideal for a home office or small business. I've used numerous inkjet and laser printers in the past, including models from Brother, Canon, and Samsung, and I have to say that this one definitely hits the sweet spot between price and performance. Here is my assessment:Size: Although this printer is higher than the majority of 3 in 1 inkjets, its footprint is comparable. This is not a sizable piece of machinery. It is extremely small.Installation: The initial setup was quick and easy to accomplish on a MacBook Pro. Without a hitch, I set up the network folder scan on the MacBook Pro. For the scan to email function, I also set up additional email addresses. It is all really simple.Printing: When compared to inkjet technology, this color laser printer produces simply outstanding quality color sheets at an astonishing speed. Compared to other color laser printers that I've used in sizable offices, the colors are more vibrant. Duplex printing is fairly seamless and speedy. For a printer in this class, this one prints at a blistering 22ppm.Scanning: Despite repeatedly fully loading the 50 page document feeder, I haven't yet experienced a jam. This is really important to me because I do a lot of scanning for work and it has never let me down. Both the client software and the printer's front panel provide complete functionality for controlling scanning (file type, quality, etc)Network Clients: I have printed and scanned without any issues from a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6, a PC running Windows 10, and an iPhone running iOS 10. The ability of the iPhone to print to the printer without having to download any additional applications is the most intriguing item on that list. It only needs to find the printer to start printing. You can download an app to your phone that will allow you to scan documents and manage your printer, but you don't need it to print from your iPhone.Copying: It performs well as a top-notch copier. Keep in mind that the color options are originally set to High Quality; therefore, depending on your demands for the print job, you may decide to reduce quality.Fax: Connect the phone line, specify the fax header, date, and time using the console menu, and you're ready to go.Toner: This printer uses HP's JetIntelligence technology, which, according to HP, uses 53% less energy, 40% less energy, and prints 33% more pages than its rivals. As a result, even though toner cartridges are pricey, maybe your cost per page still comes out to be reasonable. I don't have enough time with the printer to conduct that analysis.In conclusion, I heartily endorse this printer for any home or small office needing a color printer.
Laser printers don't typically dry out, but if they're not used regularly, the ink can become clogged in the print head. This can cause the printer to produce lower-quality prints, or even cause the printer to fail entirely. If you don't use your laser printer often, it's a good idea to run a few test prints every so often to keep the ink flowing smoothly.
Laser printers are designed to last for a long time without needing to be refilled. However, like all machines, they will eventually need to be refilled. The toner in laser printers will eventually run out, and the printer will need to be refilled with new toner. The good news is that refilling a laser printer is a relatively simple and inexpensive process.
Laser printers use toner, which is a powder that melts and fuses to the paper when heat is applied.
Printers use a fair amount of electricity, especially when they're first turned on and when they're printing large documents. However, they don't use as much electricity as some other devices, like computers. You can save money on your electricity bill by turning off your printer when you're not using it.
Laser printer toners can last anywhere from 1,500 to 5,000 pages, although the average is around 2,000 pages. Ultimately, how long a laser printer toner lasts will depend on the printer model, usage, and quality of the toner.
Laser printers are built to last, with many models able to provide decades of trouble-free service. However, like any piece of technology, they will eventually reach the end of their lifespan. The average laser printer has a lifespan of around five to eight years, although some models may last longer.
