Product Details:
If you want a reliable mono multifunction printer at an affordable price, you’re looking at it.
The Brother DCP-L1630w will suit home and home office users who don’t print often but want a compact mono printer with basic scanning and copying capabilities. It is a small, compact, and efficient multifunction printer that produces crisp black-and-white documents (up to 2400 x 600 dpi) at up to 20 pages a minute.
Released in 2024, the DCP-L1630w addresses many drawbacks of the printer it replaces (the DCP-1610W). Most importantly, wireless connectivity has improved — the DCP-L1630w now supports Wireless Direct, Apple AirPrint, Mopria and Brother Mobile Connect.
While the newer model has more memory and a faster processor, the form factor and recommended retail price remain the same. The newer printer is considerably heavier (but weighs less than 12 kg).
While the DCP-L1630w also copies and scans, there is no automatic document feeder (ADF) to facilitate multipage jobs — you’ll have to do it manually, page by page. Automatic double-sided (duplex) printing is another no-go. The paper tray accepts up to 150 sheets and handles 65-105 gsm plain and recycled paper.
The recommended print volume is up to 500 pages a month, but the cost per printed page is relatively high compared to other laser printers. With your purchase, you get a starter-size toner cartridge that will output up to 700 pages. When you need a refill, you’ll require a Brother TN1170 toner cartridge (good for up to 1,000 pages). A cheaper alternative to a genuine cartridge is a Brother compatible TN1170 toner cartridge.
The toner and drum unit are separate, and the drum unit won’t need replacing until you have printed up to 10,000 pages.
