Brother Continues to Deliver Reliability and Efficiency to Consumers and Businesses with

Refreshed lineup provides powerful yet compact, secure, and cost-effective printers for small office environments.

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As printing preferences increasingly shift to digital and paper workflows at home and in small offices and workgroups, the need to stay connected and maintain control over printing documents is more critical than ever, especially as the boundaries of hybrid work flex between home office spaces, small businesses, and enterprises with multiple locations. Today, Brother International Corporation, an industry leader in imaging and document solutions, announced a refresh of its monochrome laser printer portfolio, including two single-function printers and three all-in-one printers.

Designed to optimize users' printing experience without sacrificing functionality, this new lineup offers a fast print speed of up to 36 pages per minute¹, automatic duplex printing, a 250-sheet paper capacity², and flexible connectivity options. The three all-in-ones feature a new enhanced, highly efficient fuser design, which offers a 22% reduction in typical electricity consumption (TEC) compared to their predecessors. This also means a significantly shorter warmup time from sleep mode, so users can start printing in half the time³. The all-in-ones also offer an improved user interface.

Each device provides a space-saving design with a robust feature set across multiple price points, including:

• An intuitive 3.5" color touchscreen, enabling print from and scan to functionality from cloud-based services such as Google Drive™, Dropbox, Evernote^®, and SharePoint Online (not available on HL-L2460DW XL)⁴.
