Brother DCP-L2500D

The Brother DCP-L2500D is an entry-level mono laser all-in-one printer aimed at the small office and home office (SOHO) crowd, with a price that will be very attractive to anybody on a tight budget. And it's a very useful machine, with print, scan and...

Single-sheet special media tray ; Two-part drum and toner cartridge ; Low noise levels

No LCD backlight ; Poor greyscale copy quality ; Quick default sleep setting

The Brother DCP-L2500D is a very good, basic laser all-in-one, offering fast printing, including duplex output, at relatively low cost. While it doesn’t have many of the bells and whistles of more expensive machines, including wireless connection, if...

Brother DCP-L2500D review

(Rating Hidden)

If desktop space is at a premium, the Brother DCP-L2500D gives you printing, copying and scanning in a compact, space-saving design. It's a black-and-white laser all-in-one without any network capabilities, so there are limitations, but are these worth...

Brother DCP-L2500D

It was very easy to set up and load the driver software to my different laptops. The auto double siding is really good. The physical size is quite compact making it fit easily on my desk. It is very quiet whilst printing too. I would recommend this...

Brother DCP-L2500D

Good little machine, slightly smaller desk footprint than my previous printer, it actually duplexes (rare at such a price), very sharp print quality, I would recommend.

Annoyingly you have to hit the on button each time you first print after a dormant period, it does not have the top feed for the copier, (so no multiple sheet loading) and to reload paper you have to clear the desk in front to pull the drawer out (if...

Brother DCP-L2500D

It is more or less the same as my previous brother which after about 10 years and over 100,000 copies more or less died. It is an excellent machine.

Brother DCP-L2500D

+ Double sided printing + Quick + Fairly quiet + Easy setup

- No USB cable (to be able to use it, I had to use a USB extender cable in addition to my own USB cable; I wish the printer came with a 3-4 m USB cable) - Scanner doesn't always scan the entire a4 sized page (when scanning a document with written...
