Brother HL-L8250CDN Printer and Toner Cartridges

Brother HL-L8250CDN is a little too big to share a desk with comfortably. It measures 12.3 by 16.1 by 19.1-inches (HWD), and it weighs enough, at 47.5 pounds, that you might need some help moving it into place. Setup is typical for color lasers. I connected the printer to a wired network for my tests and installed the driver on a system running Windows Vista. One key difference between it and the Xerox 6500/DN is that the Brother HL-L8250CDN installs to print in simplex (one-sided) mode rather than duplex by default. That gives it a faster speed than the Xerox printer on our official tests, but only because printing in duplex takes longer. Brother rates the printer at 30 pages per minute (ppm), which is the speed you should see when printing a text document or other file that needs little to no processing. On our business applications suite, (using QualityLogic's hardware and software for timing) I clocked it at 6.6ppm, making it significantly faster than the Xerox 6500/DN's official speed of 5.4ppm. However there's a metaphorical asterisk that goes next to the Xerox printer's speed.
