Brother HLL1230w Wireless A4 Mono Laser Printer

Brand:

Manufacturer’s Code:

HLL1230W

Product Details:

If you want simplicity and ease of use in your home or home office printer, it doesn’t get much better than the Brother HL-L1230W. Released in 2024, this printer is highly rated by users for its diminutive size, no-hassle dual-band wireless connectivity, quality output, and value for money.

If you only want to print black-and-white text documents, the HL-L1230W may be all you need. It’s perfect for minimalists — small and compact, with a single paper tray, no scanner, and no double-sided printing.

This mono laser printer sells for the price of a budget inkjet and will best suit casual users. With a maximum 150-sheet paper capacity, it will print on 65-105 gsm paper at up to 20 pages per minute. Print resolution is up to 2400 x 600 dpi. Connectivity is limited to wireless and USB 2.0, but there is mobile support for Wireless Direct, Apple AirPrint and Mopria. Setup, using the Brother Mobile Connect app, AirPrint, or a USB cable, is a doddle.

As you might expect from a budget printer, the cost per printed page is relatively high compared to other laser printers. The recommended monthly print volume is up to 500 pages but if you are printing that much a more expensive printer will prove cheaper over the long run.

The in-box toner you get with your purchase will output up to 700 pages. Once you run out, you need a new TN-1170 toner cartridge (good for up to 1,000 pages). After you’ve bought two new cartridges, you’ve spent more on toner than on the printer. Compatible TN-1170 toner should provide a less expensive option but none is available as yet.

If you are in the market for a basic printer and don’t need to print much, then by all means. With more memory, a faster processor, and AirPrint support, it’s a worthy successor to the similarly priced entry-level HL1210w it seems destined to replace.
