Brother laser printers
today announced it will be showcasing its new HL-5200 series of laser printers designed for small businesses at MWSF. The new series includes the HL-5240 ($230), HL-2050DN ($250), HL-5250DNT ($300), and the 802.11b/g wireless-ready HL-5280DW ($350). The HL-5240 prints at up to 30ppm with 1,200 x 1,200 dpi print quality and offers a 300-sheet paper capacity, expandable up to 800-sheets. The 16MB of base memory is expandable to 528MB, and the device offers USB 2.0 and parallel ports. The HL-5240 can emulate PCL6, BR-Script3, IBM, and Epson FX.
Brother's HL-5250DN offers the same print speed and quality as the HL-5240, but adds workgroup features that include a built-in Ethernet network interface and duplex capability for two-sided printing. The HL-5250DN also ships with 32MB of standard memory and is expandable to 544MB.
The HL-5250DNT shares all of the HL-5250DN's features, and adds a 550-sheet total input capacity via a second 250-sheet paper tray.
Finally, the HL-5280DW offers all of the HL-5250DNT's features and includes a built-in 802.11b/g wireless interface with "SecureEasySetup," as well as a three-color LCD display to view status and change printer settings.
Each Hl-5200 series printer ships with new two-piece toner/drum consumables consisting of the TN-550 toner cartridge, offering a print capacity of roughly 3,500 pages and the "long-life" DR-520 drum unit, capable of printing approximately 25,000 pages.
Options and accessories for the HL-5200 series include the TN-580 high-yield replacement toner cartridge that can print about 7,000 pages, as well as the LT-5300 optional 250-sheet paper tray.
The HL-5200 series will replace Brother's HL-5150D, HL-5150DLT, HL-5170DN, and HL-5170DNLT models.
