Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Time for a new office printer? The HL-1870N is a network-ready 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-1870N 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, while the 10/100 Base T print server provides connection for your workgroup.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Laser Printer, January 21, 2003

I looked into several printers under $1000 before deciding on the Brother 1870N. This is a solid, quality printer. The instructions for set up are very thorough and easy to understand. I was able to set up the printer over a network within minutes after unpacking it. Both the manual tray and cassette tray worked flawlessly. The text and graphics are crisp and the built-in automatic duplex option performed beautifully. This feature is available in other brands, but you will pay a lot more! I am using this printer with a Macintosh Computer (Jaguar) and will highly recommend it to anyone interested in a new laser printer. You will pay at least $300 more on the Hewlett Packard side for the same features. This is certainly a best choice for either home office or power office printing.

This review is from: Brother HL-1870N Laser Printer (Office Product)

This is a fabulous printer. I purchased it back in October, and I waited until I put some use on it before adding a comment. It is reliable, quiet, and sturdy, with a reasonable footprint for a laserprinter, smaller and less expensive than the HP 2200's. It has handled home office tasks reliably. The duplex feature works well and I love how it powers down and jumps back to service when it is called upon. We are using it with a family of Macintosh computers over a home wireless to router to cable network, and happily printing from all reaches of the house. Compared with less expensive hp's such as the 1200 series, this printer is worth the extra money for a real networked printer with no dangling trays or clipped-on ethernet connectors. It is a great choice.
