Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Time for a new office printer? The HL-1850 is a powerhouse offering an excellent balance of speed, quality, and value. It's able to combine a top speed of 19 pages per minute with high-resolution printing, so you won't have to sacrifice clarity when you're in a hurry. Built-in duplexing supplies standard dual-side printing, while the toner cartridge provides ink for 6,500 pages; with such low usage of paper and ink, the HL-1850 provides both economic and environmental satisfaction.

Paper-handling options include a 250-sheet cassette and 100-sheet tray that can process a variety of textures such as letterhead, envelopes, labels, and transparencies, along with letter-size and legal-size sheets. Its 32 MB of expandable memory allows the printer to function smoothly even on hectic days.

Brother includes drivers for PC and Macintosh systems, along with their Web-based setup and management software. A one-year warranty for parts and service is provided, with optional Express Exchange service.

I have been a HP fan for many years but started looking at other manufacturers due to slow tech. support and high cost of consumables. HL-1850 has fit the bill. Half the cost per sheet compared to my HP. Output is clean and crisp. Built in duplexing. Quick and Quiet! And so far, no jams or problems of any kind. My views my change after wear and tear take their toll, but for now this is the printer of my dreams.

This printer is outstanding, and coming in at the exact same cost as the HL-1650 I had priced and planned to buy, it was an easy decision on my part. It prints fast, crisp, and has loads of features to tweak your ink usage. Not to mention it's direct feeder for items you don't want bent up like photopaper, and the multipurpose tray works great for letterheads, though I THOUGHT the MP tray was going to be an internal tray it's still nice. The reprint and cancel job buttons at the top of the printer also help to save time and end user head-aches, as the office personnel this printer was assigned to often got frustrated if they needed to open up the print que to cancel a print job.

If you're currently using an inkjet in any capacity make the switch NOW, this thing pays for it's self in a matter of months. I've yet to need another toner, but I'm sure the factory supplied one won't last as long as the others. I'll try and post an update to toner life when the time comes.

I bought the Brother HL-1850 as my home office Laser Printer... ... [printer is] very easy to setup when the directions are followed. [printer] support parallel and USB connections which were new to me. The 1850 is larger, faster, prints on both sides of the page and has 16 meg of RAM... It also has a fold down tray for envelopes, legal sized paper etc. You can also purchase a network card for the 1850 if desired... [printer] warm up and print quickly... I've been very pleased with [the] printers and find them a good value for the money compared to HP models in a similar price range...
