Laser Printer, Monochrome Duplex Wireless Printer, HL-6210DW

First, this printer isn't designed for home use, but is an office printer designed to print many pages quickly at low cost in good enough print quality. I bought it for home use because I want a no nonsense machine that comes with a large-capacity toner, large paper hold, and long service life. This machine only prints in monochrome but does it quick and does it well. It's also quiet, is easy to set up, fairly affordable for something that can print 8000 pages per month without shortening its service life, and is well built. Opening its front panel reveals that its internal structure differs from a home printer in that it has been reinforced with thicker materials and metal parts in places, something I expect to see in an office printer. The print quality is not exceptional but it isn't any worse than any office printer. I use it to print tax forms, the occasional scientific paper and some recipes with photos. The photos show banding but the text and mathematical symbols look just fine. I have no complaints.

When I purchased this laser printer, I was looking for professional results with no fading. I've had this printer for 4 months now, and it still works like day one. It was very easy to connect wirelessly to my computer and my phone. It was strange to print a document from my phone wirelessly, but very convenient too. The size and weight of this printer are ideal for small offices. The printing is very fast, with a wait time of only a couple of seconds. I wanted something durable and able to keep up with daily demand. This printer accomplishes all of that and more that I don't even use. It's nice that it is expandable with paper trays.

I puchased a new 'returned' version of the HL-6210DW and I made a very good decision. It was brand new, with toner already installed, packed very well and turned out to be a very awesome printer. It's very fast, quiet and creates perfect print. This machine is 'the' machine you're looking for, as long as black/white only --- suits your needs. Don't buy a color lazer printer if you can get by with black print only. It's just way easier to manage. The only downside to this machine is that it has a tiny display window, where you'll need to enter you email address and password. But it works OK, just take your time, spend a couple of minutes and get it done. Always enter your login credentials into the printer FIRST. As long as you do that, your computer will take care of everything else, including drivers and software, almost immediately. If you try to get your computer to find the printer without first entering you're wifi information, it will not go smoothly because it won't ever find it. Other than the tiny window, to enter your wifi, I'd give this computer 5 stars. I can't imagine a better or faster printer.

I loved this printer right up until it locked me out of it. I went to update the firmware the other day. It asks for a password. The password is located on the back of the machine. I give it the password. It doesn't work. I give it the password again. It doesn't work. I attempt to reset the password. I have to make an account with brother. I reset the network. It cannot find the printer now. I click "connect printer" from its app. It asks me to register. I attempt to register. It says "Authenticate your machine". I go into the other room with the printer. It times out saying "Cannot connect". - WELL I'M SORRY THE WALK TAKES A MOMENT! I try again. Repeat, repeat. First of all, why do I need a password to update the firmware? Why can't I opt out? Second, if I do have to have a password why isn't the Reset's password Default the one on the back of the printer? If this doesn't work why can't I provide it my serial number? That's also on the back of the printer. Basically, it's secure, but you secured it so well it locks out the user. Fantastic. Anyway, giant pain... this... If I might give you a friendly suggestion... A person wants to use their printer. I know, this is such a novel concept that it might be alien to you, but it's true. Have you ever gone to a college building's office where you have to talk to the minion staffer? That idiot at the desk who's only answer is, "On our website...," after repeatedly telling her, "I do not have internet?" That's this. Update: After reinstalling the iPrint&Scan app the iPrint&Scan app also stopped working. THIS IS GOING REALLY WELL, Brother! Update: Apparently there is a "Sleep" mode the printer goes into. This also can cause a "Deep Sleep" mode?? Well, the printer is currently "sleep". That's what the computer says. Whatever that means. Disabling "sleep" doesn't work. You can go to Ecology in the Settings and turn it to 0 Minutes. It still goes to sleep. There's apparently a hidden menu to turn off Deep Sleep where you perform pressing Back and - sign at the same time. I've yet to get this to show up, but I'm trying. Again, Brother, amazing job here! I think you made this as successfully asinine as a Canon printer trying to make an image without lines in it. De-moting this to 1 star. Update: This is my final update. I'm not sure what is wrong with this. It will print just fine. It connects to the computer just fine. However, it will not update. Nor will it accept its own password. It tells me it is asleep or offline, but in reality it prints when told to print. I'm guessing that is a "for now" situation since it wants to update the firmware. Unfortunately, that's not possible since it thinks the thing is offline. It does appear to be in sleep mode both from the PC and from the Printer. Again, it will print despite this, but not update. Nor accept its password, which appears to be the primary hurtle. Reinstalling the software for it a second time and resetting the computer lead to the software working. Neither the printer nor computer affirms it is working, but it prints. So, that's something. Anyway, I'm done trying. I've spent all day trying to understand what the issue is. It doesn't make sense. If the issue is that I have to turn off Deep Sleep I have a suggestion for the manufacturer. ... Don't put deep sleep behind some double press key combination. Let us just be able to turn it off and on. If that's the issue you made yourself and your users a pointless headache. I sort of understand the password concern, but I'd also like it to work if reset. That'd kind of go without saying, but apparently it doesn't work after reset. I also tried to give it a new password. This too doesn't work. Which somewhat suggests the issue is that the computer is not communicating with it completely perhaps? I don't know. Conclusion... works until whatever firmware update it wants to have and can't get kills it.

Great for home even better in the office. And I finally get to say bye bye to HP printers. Faster. Easy. And cheaper. Great experience for the moment the box was opened. Note the toner replacement is a little different. Two parts instead of an HP one. Not hard. Just different. You still only need the toner part but it fits into another piece in the printer.

I'm extremely happy with the printer. Setup, including the registration process and various updated, was not difficult and the online guidance made that much easier than it could have been. In terms of printing the results are fantastic. This was a great value for the cost and the wireless connection went off without a hitch. My only issue is with the digital selection panel for choosing language and other attributes...that could have been better, but this is not at all a deal-breaker. Overall, a 4.8 out of a 5.0 in my opinion.

Printer work well... no problem with paper feed... images clear. My only concern is the price of HD toners... TONER TOO EXPENSIVE

Works as described. Draws a lot of energy. Do not put it into a surge protector.

Me encanta esta impresora la mejor que he tenido en mucho tiempo la recomiendo ampliamente, rápida, eficiente y se conecta rápido a las computadoras.

Have been using the product consistently for under one month and so far it is working very well. Setup was simple and there have not been any operational issues. Print quality is crisp. Great Amazon pricing and very quick delivery.

Excelente equipo. Cumplió con mis expectativas. Además una atención muy rápida del vendedor. El producto llegó antes de la fecha indicada.

a printer that works well. Nothing special ... a good price and works.

Easy to setup Works well Accessible locally or via apps
