Brother HL-L2442DW Driver Download

Brother HL-L2442DW Driver lets the computer identify this monochrome laser printer and send print jobs to the correct machine. After installation, print commands can use the layout and output settings selected on the computer. A nearby computer can connect through USB, while wireless setup lets the printer receive jobs over the network. The driver carries those print instructions to the printer before each document is produced.

Brother HL-L2442DW Specifications

The Brother HL-L2442DW is a print-only monochrome laser printer. It has no scanner, copier, fax, or automatic document feeder hardware, so it handles print jobs rather than document capture or copying. Printing relies on an electrophotographic laser engine with 64 MB of standard memory. A 16-character, one-line LCD handles menu and status work without touchscreen input. With supplies fitted, the body measures 356 mm wide, 360 mm deep, and 183 mm high and weighs about 7.1 kg.

Print resolution reaches up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. On single-sided jobs, the engine runs at up to 30 pages per minute on A4 and 32 pages per minute on Letter. From ready mode, the first page comes out in less than 8.5 seconds. Automatic duplex printing comes as standard, with two-sided output reaching 15 sides per minute on A4 or Letter. Quiet Mode reduces print noise, but output speed slows when that mode is active.

The standard tray holds 250 sheets and takes plain, thin, recycled, and thick paper. Brother lists the tray paper-weight range from 60 to 163 g/m2. The manual feed slot accepts one sheet at a time. Tray sizes include A4, Letter, B5, A5, A6, Executive, 16K, and A4 Short. Through the manual slot, custom media can run up to 355.6 mm long, and envelope sizes cover COM-10, DL, C5, and Monarch.

Printed sheets stack face down in the 150-sheet output tray. For a straighter paper path, one sheet can leave face up through the rear exit. A direct computer connection uses Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Wireless printing runs through IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networking, and Wi-Fi Direct uses IEEE 802.11a/g/n for a direct device-to-printer link. Brother does not list wired Ethernet for this model. Power use is about 440 W while printing, 43 W in ready mode, 3.8 W in sleep mode, 0.6 W in deep sleep, and 0.08 W when powered off.
