Brother HL1270N Printer Review & Troubleshooting:

The Brother HL1270N is a heavy-duty monochrome laser printer, that intends to cater to the requirements of a mid-size office or a small office with heavy printing requirements.

Brother HL1270N comes with a maximum printing resolution of 1200 dpi x 600 dpi. The maximum printing speed is 12 ppm. The accompanying Brother HL1270N Toner Cartridges have an estimated duty cycle of 6000 pages, which is quite good and makes printing very economical. While the print resolution is good for a laser printer, the slow speeds do not justify its intention of catering to the heavy requirements of the offices. The prints outs come good with sharpness in texts and proper grey scale also printing well.

Connectivity options for this printer include USB and LAN. While a wireless functionality would have suited the customer needs better, most offices have an internal LAN and thus connectivity should not pose much of a problem. The heavy duty intention is made clear with a large 250-page input sheet that comes standard with this printer. The duty cycle of the Brother HL1270N Toner Cartridges is also long. The software and language support that comes standard is good for a lot of jobs especially with postscript support included.

This is a top heavy printer with moderate weight and dimensions. The height is more but is justified in view of the fact that there is a 250 sheet input tray that is inside. It is slightly heavy but given that this would be sitting on a desk and not moved around regularly, then it does not pose any inconvenience.

Advantages:
  • Good print quality in both text and greyscale
  • Large input tray
  • Heavy duty cycle of toner
Disadvantages:
  • Slow speeds for its usage
  • WiFi connectivity can be a plus
  • Large dimensions and weight
Conclusion:

Brother HL1270N is a workgroup printer which through its design and features wants to capture the small to mid office requirements. It does have a lot of features which are good for heavy usage, like a large toner and large input tray. There are some things like connectivity options especially wireless that if included would have enhanced its capability a lot. Another glaring issue is the slow speeds, for a printer wanting to serve heavy requirements, a better speed would definitely help. If these shortcomings can be ignored, then the Brother HL1270N is a very good option for offices with heavy and sharp monochrome requirements.
