Brother HL-2140 & "toner saver" setting, etc.
I have a brand new Brother HL 2140 b/w laser printer. I’ll use it for text only. It seems to print fine, and I like the nice crisp appearance of text. The default settings give a nice contrasty print of text. Very black on the white paper. To save toner, I have tried to use “toner saving” settings. Using both the “toner saver” setting, and also the least “printer density” setting, I can see no difference. This at 600 dpi setting. No discernable difference between the default setting, and my 2 non- default “saver” settings. The text print-out appears to be exactly the same, either setting. The 2 “saver settings” are not any lighter at all, so I assume that I am not saving any toner. I’m not knowledgeable about printers, so I assume I am doing something wrong. Can anyone offer ideas?? I want to save toner. Thank you…….. FjLee |

I want to save toner. If you look closely with a magnifying glass, you will see small differences with changes in "toner saver" and resolution settings. It is more apparent in graphics than in plain text. I have read two reviews of the HL 2140 that mention basically the same thing. Try printing the same web page with various saver and resolution settings. That's how I finally saw the difference. To be sure, the HL2140 is the best $59 laser printer I've ever had. |
