Amazon.com Product Description

The HL-6050D from Brother International is a monochrome laser printer with a large paper input capacity, automatic duplexing, and PC and Mac compatibility. It provides print resolutions up to 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, as well as print speeds up to 25 pages per minute. The HL-605D has a 600-sheet standard input capacity (expandable to 1,100) and a 250-sheet output tray, with 32 MB memory and a 200 MHz internal processor that can handle medium and large print jobs. A wide range of media types are accepted, including plain paper, bond, transparencies, labels, card stock and envelopes.

The LCD control panel provides access to the printer's many features, while automatic interface switching between the parallel and USB ports conveniently allows you to print from multiple computers without having to switch cables. The printer supports optional 10/100 BaseT Ethernet and 802.11b/g wireless print servers, allowing you to print from any computer connected to the network.

The HL-6050D consumes less than 600 watts during normal operation and about 8 watts in sleep mode. An optional CompactFlash storage slot is ideal for printing photos captured by your digital camera, and automatic duplexing lets you print double-sided documents with ease. The HL-6050D also comes backed with a one-year limited warranty on both parts and labor.

Cost-effective, good SW, drivers.......2006-08-18

This is so much more effective for the needs of our small business than inkjet tecnyology. Seems very fast. Also replaces $1400 dot matrix used for PR checks. 600 sheet tray is indication that machine can be used for heavier jobs.

Nice Printer.......2005-03-11

PROs: The HL-6050D has outstanding text quality at 600 DPI and well over 20 ppm output speed. We haven't tried the 1200 DPI setting since 600 DPI produces very sharp text. The duplex mode is wonderful--it will automatically collate and print books/booklets of any length. This is a heavy duty printer with many extra features and is well worth the cost. We don't know about long-term reliabilty yet, since we've only had it for about a week, but it does seem to be well designed and assembled. Easy software startup on WindowsXP. (Be sure not to connect printer cable until Brother printer install program asks for it.) It's simple to install more memory DIMMs and a network card.

CONs: Somewhat loud when printing, but it's okay for most office setups. Toners are about $90-100 for 7500 pages.
