Printer / Copier is great and at a good price point. The toner is a bit pricey but so is everything else!

Can't stand the printer. Deep sleep. Always off line.

There was no operational instruction manual for the printer I purchased. How might receive some sort of information manual?

Excellent printer & scanner. It is so easy to install & use. Printer usually is no brainier but the scanner also is so amazingly easy to use. I love this machine. I can't say enough of good things.

Love it. Easy to set up. Though I thought it came with an extra toner cartridge? Or maybe if I signed up for that. Not sure, but otherwise I love the printer.

This printer was easy to install and setup, practically plug and play. The printer is exactly as described and exceeds expectations. I love the 2 sided printing, which can be de-selected easily if you want only single side. I would recommend this printer to anyone looking for a monochrome laser printer.

it's an excellent printer . I am struggling at 2 sided printing but that is probably more me than the printer

Easy to use,, enjoy knowing the ink won't dry up before I use half of it

Love this printer. No issues putting in a new toner cartridge. Printing is real sharp.

Great for the money, when searching I wanted "scan to usb", searching stated this one had it. It does not! Disappointed with that, but has everything else I wanted

So far I've been quite happy with the printer. I've had no problems with scanning or printing. Quality is good. Would recommend.

Does a great job scanning and printing for my home office.
Tom D.

Duplex printing/scanning is nice but shouldn't be the default that takes a lot of hoops to undo.
Tara S.

2026-02-21T19:00:00
Good for home use. Biggest deficiency is that it goes into "sleep" or "deep sleep" mode and is difficult to reactivate without doing a full restart of the computer
BOB D.

2026-02-21T19:00:00
Our Brother DCP-L2640DW is a reliable, high-performance laser printer that is proving to be perfect for our home use needs. It delivers crisp prints, fast speeds, and efficient duplex printing. Wireless setup was simple, and scanning functions work seamlessly. A dependable workhorse with excellent value and low maintenance.
Randy

2026-02-19T19:00:00
Had some difficulty installing the printer initially, but was able to do after reviewing the steps required. Would be helpful if the manufacturer would add a photo of the keypad and each feature for the DCPL2640DW in the installation guide.

Haven't had the printer long enough to really do proper review. So far it's been really good. Great printer and fast. Currently the only issue is the LCD screen could be improved.
BobM

2026-02-18T19:00:00
Very pleased it prints fast. I had a big job and this printer did not disappoint. Copies many pages at once. I have not scanned anything yet, so I am giving four stars

My tech guy could not install the laser printer driver on my new laptop despite many attempts. I was prepared to buy a different brand printer or a new laptop. However, after calling Brother Support (long wait but good call back system) I received accurate information to finally install the driver. The printer works very well and printed matter is clean, clear, sharp.

2026-02-16T19:00:00
I love the Brother brand, that's all I have every owned. I really like the fast printing it does but, its noisy.
Linda

2026-02-16T19:00:00
what a great laser printer, i was using a competitor that had ink cartridges and they would dry up quickly and I would use the printer sparingly, it would cost me just using black cartridges a fortune. With this beauty I still use it sparingly but still shows plenty of toner left for 900 pages of printing.
Norm

2026-02-16T19:00:00
What a difference from my previous printer. This Brothers is by comparison, quiet, quick, clear, and relatively easy to setup. We don't print much so, in the time we've had it I can say it has had no issues with paper, ink or cartridges, or degradation of print. It is not a color printer nor does it do photos. Specifically for documents and that's the intended use.
Robert

2026-02-14T19:00:00
Purchased this printer on 12/15/25. It has exceeded my expectations. I love that you can print from anywhere in my home. Quality is great.

Fast printing, easy setup, high quality printing. Great features. Long lasting toner.

I realized that I didn't need a color ink jet printer. Everything I print is just as useful in black and white. I don't print a lot of documents, so buying an ink jet printer would be a waste of money, because the cartridges could dry up before they were used up. Buying this printer that uses a toner instead of ink is more economical in the long run regardless of the toner cost. I never have to worry about the ink jets getting clogged up from infrequent usage.
