Brother HL-5240 High-Speed Desktop Office Laser Printer Reviews
- Take the paper tray out. Brother ships it unlocked for some reason. If you're getting loud clicking noises that seem to be coming from the left front by the paper tray, here's how to fix the problem:. - Then lock the paper size - the lock is at the back of the tray. Make sure the paper height is set to 11 inches it's probably set a little smaller, and the design lets the paper interfere with the gear that lifts the paper up for the feed roller to grab when it's not set right.
Except for always creased envelops, printer is just fine. I own three of the same make/model printers and Brother has not yet answered my email regarding envelopes.
I also added a Netgear wireless print server to the network and printer and it runs wirelessly now throughout the house in essence turning it into a 5250 model and that works well, too. I purchased this printer as a factory reconditioned unit and it has worked flawlessly for me. perhaps, someone else returned it and the factory fixed the wrinkled and crease sheet problems. I love how smooth and fast it works and the print quality is very good. It does run through one's mind, though. It gets 5 stars from me. It is quiet and i have none of the problems that others have mentioned in their reviews.
I've owned Brother printers in the past. Unfortunately it creases paper randomly and regularly. I can't use it for anything but personal printing (where I can overlook the creases) unless I print multiple pages and use the ones that aren't creased. Wastes a lot of ink and paper. I bought this as an upgrade. If you're in the market for a printer, look elsewhere.
they're getting a bit curved, sealed shut from the heat, so each envelope must be carefully nurtured back. carefully opened, carefully flattened. The printer works as well as one might expect for a desktop printer; fairly fast; copies are crisp-looking and clean.
This means, that to print an envelope, I must get up, go to the back of the printer (which is not that accessible), open up the back, flip two levers (not so easy to do) return to my computer and print the envelope, then get up and repeat the process to re-set the levers. What is more, the envelopes are barely barely getting past this printing. My mediocre rating is for its poor envelope-handling ability. The support document tells several things you can do to fix this.
The other (a hardware adjustment flipping two levers located along the paper's path) does help the creasing, but the manual says quite clearly that you must flip these levers back when you're done. Envelopes come out heavily creased. One (a software change) doesn't help at all. Clearly, this is not a printer for someone who intends to print envelopes.
in order to have a professional look to them. A previous model of Brother printer handled envelopes with no difficulty, so this is definitely a let-down by comparison.
