REVIEW

By M. David Stone

By the usual criteria of size, weight, and price, the Brother HL-5140 ($230 street) is clearly a personal printer. At 9.9 by 15.0 by 15.1 inches (HWD) and 23.1 pounds, it's small enough to be a comfortable desktop companion and inexpensive enough to be affordable. But the 21-page per minute (ppm) engine spits pages out faster than many workgroup printers, with good-looking text and photos, making it a slam-dunk winner despite its merely fair graphics output.

Spec Data

  • Type: Printer Only
  • Color or Monochrome: Monochrome
  • Laser Type: Laser
  • Maximum Standard Paper Size: Legal

Bottom Line

Brother HL-5140 offers fast performance, near-excellent text quality, and better photo output than most monochrome laser printers. Graphics output is only fair, but good enough for most purposes.

Pros

Fast performance. Text quality just short of excellent. Easy setup. Unusually high-quality photos for a monochrome laser printer.

Cons

Lower than usual graphics quality for a monochrome laser.
