Brother HL-3170CDW Digital Color LED Printer Supports WiFi Direct

Here's a follow up post for Brother HL-3170CDW Color LED Printer. If you want to read first my previous write ups related to this model, check out these two links for additional information -- Brother HL-3140CW And Brother HL-3170CDW LED Printers, this one gives the basic specifications for both HL-3140CW and HL-3170CDW, while this : Brother HL-3000 Series A Range Of Digital Color LED Laser Printers , was just a brief introduction for the two models.

The Brother HL-3170CDW offers convenience in many ways, aside from its affordable market price. A printer more likely suitable for small working environments like micro-offices. It is capable to work as shared printer in the office supporting a small to medium-sized workgroup. Connect the printer to a network via WiFi, or if by any chance there's no possible wireless connection, the Ethernet can be used as a workaround to connect it on a wired network. It also allows printing from the cloud with your smartphones and tablets thru WiFi Direct.

For those who have no idea, LED printers work just like a laser printer in terms of speed, though instead of lasers, they use LEDs to create printouts. The HL-3170CDW comes with a rated print speed up to 23 ppm (pages per minute), a bit faster compared to HL-3140CW. When it comes to size, it has the same dimension with HL-3140CW, at (HWD) 9.5" x 16.1" x 18.3", and weights about 39 pounds considering the duplexer.

Its paper handling capacity aside from the duplexer, also offers a single-sheet manual feeder, plus a 250-sheet cassette adjustable for letter or legal-sized media, and plain paper. Another reason why it suits a micro office is that, with the printer's limited paper capacity, there's no optional drawer which can be purchased to at least maximize it.

The HL-3170CDW uses Digital Color LED Technology, hence it is mainly dedicated to print color materials. Its consumables include four individual Brother toner cartridges (black yields 2500, while CYM yields 1400) and a single drum unit. One of the printer's notable feature is the Secure Function Lock support, which helps the user to control the number of connected units that can use color printing.

Overall, the Brother HL-3140CDW Digital Color LED printer can be a good choice for small offices, considering its print speed, output quality, duplex printing and Wifi Direct support.
