Compact colour laser for small workspaces

The Brother HL-L3280CDW is a wireless digital colour laser printer built for home offices and shared workspaces. It prints up to 27 pages per minute in both black and colour, with a first page out in 13.5 seconds. A 2.7 inch colour touchscreen and dual-band wireless connectivity provide direct control and mobile printing. The recommended monthly volume is 3,000 pages against a 40,000 page maximum duty cycle.

Check connectivity, media handling and power

Verify that your network supports dual-band wireless or a wired Ethernet link for the printer. The manual feed slot accepts media from 3 by 4.6 inches up to 8.5 by 14 inches, so confirm your paper stock fits this range. Automatic duplex printing is built in for two-sided output. The unit draws 590 watts at maximum, 70 watts ready, 7 watts in sleep and 0.2 watts off, so ensure your circuit can handle the peak load.

Solid build with front access and cloud support

The compact chassis integrates a 256 MB memory buffer and an 800 MHz processor for steady throughput. Front-panel access to the four toner cartridges simplifies replacement without moving the printer. The 2.7 inch touchscreen angles upward for comfortable viewing at desk height. Secure print and network encryption features protect sensitive documents. Cloud connectors for Google Drive, Dropbox and Evernote let users print directly from online storage.
