Compact monochrome multifunction for small offices
The Brother DCP-L2540DW is a refurbished desktop laser printer that prints, copies and scans in black only. It suits small teams that need up to 2,000 pages per month without colour output. Automatic duplex and a 35-page document feeder keep routine jobs unattended.
Upgrade from single-function inkjets
Replace a standalone inkjet when you want faster 30 ppm mono output, automatic two-sided printing and network sharing. The jump is worth it when monthly volume exceeds a few hundred pages and running costs per page become a concern. It does not serve users who need colour prints or monthly volumes above 10,000 pages.
250-sheet tray and 32 MB memory handle everyday
The adjustable tray holds 250 sheets of letter or legal paper, while 32 MB RAM buffers print and scan jobs. Optical scan resolution reaches 600 x 2400 dpi, enhanced to 19200 x 19200 dpi for archiving. The 35-sheet feeder and 99-copy stack limit batch sizes for larger projects.

Questions about this item
What size paper tray does the 250-sheet capacity support?
The adjustable tray holds up to 250 sheets of letter or legal size paper, with a maximum paper size of 8-1/2" x 14".
How do I enable automatic duplex printing on the DCP-L2540DW?
Select the duplex option in the print driver or on the control panel; the printer will then automatically print on both sides without manual re-feeding.
When should I replace the toner cartridge on this printer?
Replace the toner when print quality fades or the control panel indicates low toner; the starter cartridge yields fewer pages than a standard replacement cartridge.
