Catching Up To The Big Boys, The Hl 6050dn Cartridge

April 24, 2009

When it comes to monochrome, networkable laser printers, Brother may not be a name that immediately comes to mind. With the HL-6050DN printer Brother has provided a viable, competitive alternative to other major printer manufacturers.

A standard built in 10/100 Ethernet interface enables the HL-6050DN to be installed into the small office environment straight out of the box. A major asset to the small business is the paper capacity of the Hl-6050DN. The standard paper tray holds 500 sheets of paper. This full ream of paper can be either letter or legal size. An optional additional paper tray also holds 500 sheets. Utilization of both paper trays allows legal paper to be place in one tray and letter sized paper in the second. Many small business applications require duplex printing. A duplex printing function is included on the HL-6050DN as a standard feature.

A copious paper supply isn’t the only thing that is big about the HL-6050DN. 7500 pages are available when the TN6070 toner cartridge is inserted. When the DR600 drum is utilized there are 30,000 pages available before drum replacement is required. Longer replacement intervals insure that there is less down time with the HL-6050DN than with competitors.

Memory on the HL6050DN is not something that is lacking. While competitors offer 16MB of memory as a standard, Brother has supplied 32MB of standard memory. Should that be insufficient, an expansion slot is available for optional chips sized at 16MB, 32MB, 64MB and 128MB. This availability of optional sized chips permits the small business network to determine how much extra memory is needed and then meet that need.

Printing speed on the HL-6050DN is a quick 18 pages per minute. The initial page is printed in 11 seconds after it is transmitted to t he printer. While these rates may be marginally slower than competitors, the rates will provide acceptable performance to all but the most discriminating user.

Setup of the HL-6050DN is quick and simple. The Quick Start utility program provided by Brother allows even the most inexperienced person to quickly and accurately provide the utilities that are necessary for the printer to operate. Changes to the program can be accomplished either from the computer’s system tray or a file resident in the computer.

No matter what platform the small business has based its network on, the Brother HL-6050DN can adapt to it. The HL-6050DN is at home in Windows, Apple OS and Linux environments. The printer fits seamlessly and transparently in any environment. This ability is a great asset to any small business and negates the possible purchase of a new printer should network environments be changed.

In the Brother HL Compatible Toner, Brother has made significant advances in both quality and competitiveness. The low initial price, combined with the economies of the HL 6050DN Cartridge and The Brother DR600 drum provide significant cost savings to the small business without sacrificing product quality. When a small business is shopping for a new networkable printer, serious consideration should be given to the Brother HL-6050DN along with printers carrying more recognized names.
