If you are running a small business from your home and need professional-grade letters or printed output or, perhaps, a small business that where just adding one more item such as a laser-printer might seem enough to push you through your front door, then setting up the Brother HL-2270DW Compact Laser Printer may just be a fine solution.

Right from the box,Brother Puts Compact Laser Printing Where You Need It Articles you will find that Brother's HL-2270DW will fit in just about any out of the way space in your home or office. At 14.2 by 14.5 by 7.8 inches and weighing about 8 pounds, you can easily find a spot on a shelf or a table for the printer. Just about square and only 8 inches high, it is easy to site and hook up to your network because the HL-2270DW comes set up for wireless and wired Internet setup.

The HL-2270DW is equipped with WiFi 802.11 b/g networking capability which means that it will discover and recognize any of the many small routers used in home and small business networks, where networked printing is a very welcomed accessory.

As long as your router has hotspot capability, all it takes it turning on your router's 802.11 b/g hotspot capability of your router and in only a couple of minutes the Brother should find it and make its protection conform to the wireless protection management used by your wireless network, whether its simple WEP, WPA or WPA2. The HL-2270DW not only features Automatic Protection Recognition but it is also compatible with AOSS.

Once it is part of your wireless network, any computers or intelligent devices that have network printing capability - a tablet with a printing app, for example or a netbook or even a smartphone with the right app - can then download documents right to the laser printer and their printed output will be high-quality as the HL-2270DW has 2400 by 600 dpi duplex printing capability. Duplex printing, a mark of a sophisticated printer, allows you to print a document on both side of a page automatically.

The HL-2270DW is a rather flexible piece of equipment as it will not only recognize wireless printing, but you can also just slip a network cable into the Ethernet port and the printer will become part of your network, easily handling any print jobs sent to it. Its printer cartridge is good for up to 2600 pages before it must be changed which is a straightforward affair (flip to top open, remove the old cart, shake the new one, pull any tabs out of the way and reinsert).

One thing that you will have to ensure when you set up the HL-2270DW is that the table or bench allows you to have access to the front and rear of the printer because the printer allows you straight-through printing so that all of your documents have a professional look.

For the small businesses just having a small networkable printer that can take the place of a huge affair that takes up lots of space in an otherwise crowded to the ceiling office is a blessing in disguise, especially when you see the quality of the output.

The HL-2270DW just makes sense in most cases and it should stand up to the daily use of your office where you may have to print on both sides of the pages - the Brother does this automatically - and of your kids whose "important texts" may need printing, too. That's why this is a very popular model.
