Brother is a manufacturer of industrial products with a history of more than 100 years. In 1971, the brother successfully developed a high-speed dot matrix printer, which had a much higher printing speed than other products of the same period, and gained a good reputation in both the Japanese and American markets. Today, Brother has a wide range of inkjet printers, laser printers, label printers, and mobile printers, and is well-known in the printing field.
 
The print quality of the Brother laser printer is not as good as that of HP, but the operational stability is top-notch. In order to solve the common problem of "paper jam" in the printing process, Brother Printer adopts multiple sets of solutions. The body has built-in paper rollers and separating rollers to avoid multi-page paper feeding during the paper feeding process, and at the same time shortens the paper feeding channel from the original 450mm to 220mm, making paper feeding faster and smoother. In addition, the rollers are made of dust-proof rubber to prevent paper scraps from sticking to the rubber and causing the surface to slip and the paper feeding error.
 
With its ink cartridge printers, the brothers have a market share in the field of high-end inkjet printers that is not inferior to Epson. But in the laser printer market, Brother is positioned more close to the people. For example, if you only have a budget of 1000 yuan, you can only buy a model of about 20 pages per minute if you choose HP, but on the brother's side, you can buy a HL-2260D with an automatic double-sided printing speed of up to 30 pages per minute.
 
In addition to high cost performance, the long life of consumables is also a feature of the brother printer. The brand's full range of toner powder separation structure, toner cartridge support to print 10,000-12,000 pages, even if 2,000 pages per month, it is enough for half a year. According to the number of pages printed by the toner cartridge for 1500 pages, the toner cartridge can be refilled 6-8 times, and the cost of use is much lower than HP's original consumables.
 
The product line of Brother laser printers is very clear, and consumers can judge the basic attributes of the printer by the name. The HL model corresponds to the ordinary laser printer, the DCP corresponds to the 3-in-1 multi-function model, and the MFC is a 4-in-1 with fax function, and users can filter according to their needs. In addition, the prefix "19", "16", and "12" sequences in the same series correspond to high, medium and low-end models respectively, and the performance difference is mainly reflected in functions and memory. According to this classification, if you are not too concerned about the extreme performance of the machine, but need a copy function, you can choose from the DCP-1600 and DCP-1200 series.
 
Yue Province 08 and 18 are the two main home laser printer series of the brothers. Compared with the 08 series, the 18 series has been upgraded to 32MB of memory, which is twice as long, and supports wireless printing and mobile printing, which is suitable for consumers who have higher requirements for connectivity. There are three products in the series, including single-function, three-in-one and four-in-one models, and the price is between 800-1500 yuan.
 
The performance of the HL-2260 series is superior to that of the HL-2260 series. It is a new series launched at the end of 2014, compared with Yue Province, the output speed of this series of products is up to 30 pages per minute, and the first page printing only takes 8.5 seconds, whether it is dozens of pages of paper materials or multiple copies of the plan, it can also be printed in a few minutes, and it is recommended to buy users with a large single print volume.
 
Although the brother products work stably and cost-effectively, there are obvious shortcomings in memory. The memory of the product is generally between 16-32MB, which needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will affect the running speed of the body, and it is easy to "queue" when printing a large number of files at a time or when multiple people are connected. Consumers should consider the occasion of use in conjunction with the purchase of goods.
