Brother is bundling network management software in its
new HL-5200 range of mono laser printers to simplify the management
of networked printers in large office spaces,
The HL-5200 series offers BR Admin network management software,
which aims to help IT departments identify when consumables need
replacing.
BR Admin keeps the network administrator informed of the status
of every printer on the network, allowing the network settings of
each printer to be changed from a central location.
All models in the HL-5200 series support print speed of up to
28ppm and a high print resolution of up to 1200 x 1200dpi.
Brother has also developed a higher yield toner cartridge,
offering up to 7,000 A4 pages at 5% coverage.
The £199 HL-5240 non-networked, entry-level model comes with
16Mbyte of memory (expandable to 528Mbyte). The HL-5240DN costs
£249 and includes 32Mbyte of memory (expandable to 544Mbyte),
automatic duplex printing and network facility as standard. The
HL-5270DN costs £299 including an LCD screen, and the £349
HL-5280DW is wireless-ready.
