Good hardware - software needs work
on December 21, 2015
Posted by: mapman44

I have owned several Brother printers over the years and I don't hesitate to buy another when the need arises. They get the job done and the price is right. My DCP-L2540DW is a step up and the hardware is very good just as I expected. However, the software needs work, especially the scanner software. It is not very intuitive or user-friendly. The scanner software on my Epson inkjet printer is far better. I hope Brother will put as much effort into the software as they have with the hardware.
I would recommend this to a friend!

love it

I love this printer. It has saved me so much time, and using a high yield toner, so much money.
The only thing is, we've had it for a short while and randomly when I go to make copies it makes a weird loud/ high pitched noise.. And won't proceed with the copy... Not sure why. It stops shortly after canceling the copy and then I can resume as normal. It still prints wonderfully, dunno what the deal is. But I still love it, and so glad we made the purchase.
P.s. We use this quite often... We homeschool so I print and or copy alot!

Great

Very nice printer for the price. Easy to use. Set up was great. Happy to be done with inkjet printer and costs of replacing ink cartridges. The high output toner for this will last for some crazy amount of printing 2500-3000.

Got sick of buying ink cartridges
on January 2, 2016

The cost of an ink jet was just too much, so I wanted a cheap laser that would keep my cost down and give me printouts I could file or mail. I am not an office, but I tend to print lots of pages all at once (I am an author with a series of books). This was a perfect solution.

Great but not plug and Play!

This printer, once setup, works beautifully and is just what we wanted. BUT, and it's a big one, it was very time consuming to set up. The printer would not stay connected over my router. It took two calls to the Brother support line to get it done. The first person seemed to have no idea about the problems. The second person was right on. But it required extensive set up and updating because of a known problem.
Fortunately, in my case, I have a modicum of computer savvy, and was able to be walked through the process by a talented support person. I can guarantee you that if my wife had run into this problem, the machine would have been returned the next day and our new printer would not have been a Brother.
Personally I am getting sick and tired of being used as a test bed. If the machine had a known problem, it should not have been shipped until fixed. In fact I have been asked to buy a printer for a friend. I want to recommend Brother, but because of my friend's limited computer skills, I am hesitant to do so. I simply do not want to go through this hassle a second time.
But, now that all is up to speed, we are very happy with this printer. So, subject to the frustrations expressed above, I do recommend this printer.

DCP-2540DW in use report
on January 28, 2016
Posted by: ToolmakerCarl
from Los Angeles, CA
Bought this refurbished DCP-2540DW fom the Brother online store and have had a positive experience. First, I don't need FAX; in fact the previous MFC had become a nuisance with adds and offers that wasted paper. Second, I did not want to pay too much for copier-scanner-printer. Third, I'm familiar with Brother products and wanted to continue using something that works. Yes, I'm happy with this DCP-2540DW!

Great....but....

So far, mostly love this printer. HOWEVER, I spend 95% of my time living in my RV, and it was very important for me to have a printer that would Print directly from computer to printer using a cable connection and no wi-fi, I was assured I could do this, and so far - no luck - and no answers. Would ONLY recommend if you never need to print in the manner suggested above.
