Brother lists the HL-L2460DW as a monochrome laser printer with 36 ppm, automatic duplex, dual-band wireless plus Ethernet and USB, a 250-sheet tray and a manual feed slot for envelopes and specialty paper. Resolution is 1200 by 1200 dpi, the first page prints in 8.5 seconds, and Energy Star and EPEAT qualified are stated. The footprint is 14.2 by 14 by 7.2 in at 15.6 lb, and the listing states a 1-year limited warranty.

Who it's for: a home office that prints long documents and wants automatic two-sided printing at the highest stated speed here. Who should skip it: anyone who needs scanning or the smallest footprint.

What this listing states. Energy Star and EPEAT qualified are stated, so safety scores 7 of 10. 1 Year Limited warranty stated. It does not say everything a buyer needs, such as who pays return shipping, so warranty scores 3 of 5. See How We Pick.

Shredder and printer safety. Keep hair, ties, jewelry, children and pets away from the feed slot, use the safety lock, unplug when not in use, and give printers and adapters room to vent.

The listing states a monochrome all-in-one laser printer with up to 30 black-and-white pages per minute single-sided and 19 images per minute two-sided. It lists an auto document feeder, dual-band Wi-Fi with self-reset, Ethernet, and mobile printing through the HP Smart app. The spec table states Energy Star certification, a 600 by 600 resolution, a 150-sheet capacity, and a one-year limited warranty. Note the contradiction: the bullets describe copying and scanning hands-free with the auto document feeder, but the spec table lists the scanner type as flatbed.
