Brother HL-B2188DW Specifications

The Brother HL-B2188DW is a print-only monochrome laser printer using an electrophotographic laser engine. Its controller carries 128 MB of standard memory, and the panel has a one-line Chinese and English LCD. Because the hardware is built only for printing, there is no scanner, copier, fax unit, or automatic document feeder. Power input is specified at 220 to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Print resolution starts at 600 x 600 dpi, while the best print setting reaches 1200 x 1200 dpi. Single-sided output runs at up to 34 pages per minute on A4 paper and up to 36 pages per minute on Letter. Automatic two-sided printing is available on A4 plain, thin, or recycled paper, and from ready mode the first page comes out in less than 8.5 seconds at 23 °C.

Paper input comes through a 250-sheet standard tray and a one-sheet manual feed slot. The tray accepts plain, thin, recycled, and thick paper. Standard sizes include A4, Letter, B5, A5, A6, Executive, A4 Short, and 16K. The manual slot takes heavier media, labels, and envelopes, including COM-10, DL, C5, and Monarch. Printed pages collect in a 150-sheet face-down tray, while one sheet can exit face up.

A computer can connect through Hi-Speed USB 2.0, 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet, or wireless networking. Wireless operation covers 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n and 5 GHz 802.11a/n, with Wi-Fi Direct on both bands for direct device links. The body measures 356 x 360 x 183 mm, weighs 7.5 kg with supplies installed, and draws approximately 470 W while printing at 25 °C, with ready mode around 43 W.
