Compact mono laser for small offices
The Brother DCP-L2640DW combines printing, scanning and copying in one compact device designed for small businesses. It produces black-and-white output at up to 36 ppm and includes a 50-page automatic document feeder for multi-page jobs. Dual-band wireless and Ethernet give flexible network placement, while a USB port allows direct local connection. The Brother Mobile Connect app adds remote print, scan and toner management from a mobile device.
Capacity and daily workload
A 50-page ADF and 36 ppm engine handle regular document batches without constant reloading, while duplex printing cuts paper use for double-sided reports. Scan speeds reach 23.6 ipm in mono and 7.9 ipm in colour, suitable for archiving mixed stacks. Toner options are limited to the TN830 and TN830XL cartridges, so very high-volume users will replace supplies more often. The single paper tray and lack of additional input capacity mean frequent paper refills during heavy days.
Upgrade path and fit
This model replaces a basic single-function laser or an older MFP that lacks wireless networking and an automatic document feeder. The jump is worthwhile when you need mobile printing, secure dual-band Wi-Fi and walk-up copying in a smaller footprint. It is not suited for environments that require colour output, large paper capacities or finishing options such as stapling or hole-punching.

Questions about this item
Will the Brother DCP-L2640DW connect to my existing router on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands?
Yes, it has built-in dual-band wireless so it can join either 2.4GHz or 5GHz networks alongside your current devices.
How do I verify the scanner is running at its rated 23.6 ipm for black and 7.9 ipm for colour after setup?
Run a multi-page scan through the 50-page auto document feeder and time the feed; the page count per minute should match the quoted speeds.
Does the box include a starter TN830 toner cartridge or must I buy one before first use?
The printer ships with an in-box toner cartridge so you can print immediately; replacement cartridges are TN830 or TN830XL.
