Overview

With a 66 MHz processor, the Brother HL-1450 Monochromatic Laser Printer is an excellent choice for small, medium, or home businesses looking for speedy printing, quality, and affordability. Its optional Ethernet connectivity helps a network of computers in an office stay connected and able to print on demand from its desktops.

Features and Functionality

The Brother HL-1450 prints up to 15 pages per minute, and has a dpi of 1200 x 600. The printer prints black ink only, with a range of options for gray scale imaging. For the average office needs, this meets or exceeds expectations for standard print jobs.

The HL-1450 can store up to 250 sheets of standard paper at a time, or users can feed individual sheets in through the multipurpose tray. In addition to traditional copy paper, the printer works well on envelopes, labels, bond paper, and transparencies.

Buying replacement supplies for the printer is affordable, and depending on the paper yield chosen, can help businesses save hundreds of dollars on their HL-1450 toner needs. Paper yields for HL-1450 cartridges come in up to 3,000 and 6,000, and the price per page goes down as the yields go up. Using the TN460 toner cartridge will yield approximately 6,000 pages, while using the TN430 toner cartridge will yield approximately 3,000 pages. The DR400 drum cartridge will yield about 20,000 pages. Owners of this printer can reduce their costs by purchasing compatible toner and drum cartridges.

The Brother HL-1450 comes standard with 8 MB of memory, and there is the option to add additional memory, with a total of 36 MB of memory possible. Installing additional memory is simple and recommended for users with more complex printing needs or those who create large printer queues from one or more computers.

The Brother HL-1450 is compatible with both Windows and Mac systems, and setup instructions are provided for each. Additional support for the printer is provided on Brother’s support website. Maintenance is infrequent, and users tend to have little trouble with this particular brand.

Why Choose the Brother HL-1450 Laser Printer?

Small businesses like to give the appearance of being larger and more successful, and the Brother HL-1450 Laser Printer allows companies to produce prints that could have come from a higher-end, more expensive printer. The ability to network computers together via Ethernet helps an office stay efficient and get all print jobs passed to the machine quickly.

With affordable HL-1450 toner that rarely needs to be replaced, the Brother printer is an environmentalist’s dream. It has settings that cut down on the amount of power and ink used, which can save money and result in eco-friendly practices.
