Save Toners Through Brother HL-1111 Mono Laser Printer's Toner Saving Mode

Brother HL-1111 Mono Laser Printer's Toner Saving Mode
Previously last month we had a post regarding Brother's latest monochrome printers which were released mainly for the company's Indian customers. In the news there were three models introduced, and since I can't simply let my blog be outdated, I made a post that previews a brief information of these new models. However this follow up post will mainly focus with Brother HL-1111, a single-function monochrome laser printer with brother laser toner cartridge saving mode. If you want to check out my last post about the other two printers, go see the link provided above.

Brother HL-1111 Design and Features

As stated, the HL-1111 is just a humble mono laser that functions as a printing machine without the copy, scan or fax capability. While its print speed is quite impressive, at 20ppm (pages-per-minute) rating this one can practically compete with those high-end MFCs out there. Design is much simpler, but as the saying goes "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication", this machine has its own smart-looking aesthetics. Considering its weight around 4.5kg, moving it from one desk to another sounds a bit easy with its light built.

Well since it doesn't need a screen display for any major purposes, nor numerical keypads and extra buttons, controls are neatly arranged at its far right edge. Consisting of a power button to turn the printer On and Off, plus two LED indicators which I'm not particularly sure of their purposes. Perhaps one of those LEDs is dedicated for ink level monitoring. While the front of this printer is plain and simple, at the back you might tell the same description. There you'll find a USB 2.0 port to connect the HL-1111 to a printer via a cable, and of course the power port.

Capacity and Print Consumables

Some say that this printer is intended for heavy duty printing, but I don't think so. The HL-1111 comes with a mid-sized main input tray that can only hold 150 sheets of A4-sized paper media, supplemented with a 50 sheet output tray at the top. Although this two trays are adjustable as you can fold it out or in, which is seemingly ideal for less desk space. Guess it would be much better if the printer can automatically fold out the output tray whenever it's needed then folds it back in when the machine is either in standby or halt.

The machine's single-chassis is not just for sporting a simple design, it also provides easy intervention especially if a user wants to access the cartridge slot. Just lift the front cover if you need to replace the pre-installed cartridges. A single-function mono laser printer only requires one brother laser toner cartridge which of course should be black. Its consumable is expected to yield a maximum of 1500 pages, which may or may not be exact depending on your level of printing.

If black&white printing is just what you need from a printer, the Brother HL-1111 is most certainly capable of doing it. Plus it supports toner-saving feature that can help reduce the overall cost of printing which you'll find very useful in the long run. With its affordable market price, though I can't state any figures here, you can go directly to Brother's web site and see for yourself.
