Comparison: Compared to other printers the Brother HL 1440 Printer came out on top, with no other printer giving better speed or output for the price of less than US Dollars 300. Boasting with features such as a horizontal 250 capacity paper tray, while other had a mere 150 capacity. The horizontal tray is a wonderful idea as vertical trays have greater chances of feed problem development. The printer in general has very few glitches with great Apple Mac compatibility. Expandable memory from the standard 2 MB’s to 43 MB’s is available. The printer is easy to use, durable, functional and produced quality prints.
Page capacity: The printer comes standard with a 250 sheet drawer with a manual single sheet feed in the front. Most paper types and sizes are accepted including legal, letter and envelopes. Thicker printing is easier due to paper existing at the top or back of printer. The printer comes standard with a duplexer. However it is only manually operated. This can be incredibly time consuming.
Print quality: In terms of text, prints are perfect with few flaws even with fonts as small as three points. High resolution printing is crisp, sharp and quick including web page printing. However embedded graphic printing is not good at all.. In general, slight banding is noticeable in gray areas. The printer may be a little more noisy than the other printers you are use to with silent periods.
Speed: The printer is super fast producer of 15 pages per minute printing. Making the printer the same level as other great printers from other brands, costing significantly more.
User Manual: The user manual presented in the form of a full colour poster is extremely professional. Illustrations and guidelines are clear and plain in language. The software CD has high quality video clips, showing you how to print pages, connect printer, install drivers and drum unit. A maintenance video covering cleaning of scanner, OPC and corona wire is also included. If you prefer paper manuals to posters and video’s you can download it from the CD in PDF format.
Ports and systems: Parallel and USB ports are used to connect the printer to your system. The printer is compatible with both Mac and Window systems and external network connection is chop-chop.
Basic details: The printer type is a laser, monochrome personal printer with true 1200 x 600 dpi resolutions. The printer is both Personal Computer and Apple Mac compatible. Remember to order your cable with the printer as it is not included. It is medium in size but big in value measuring at 14.2 x 14.6 x 9.3 and weighing in at 20.3 pounds.
