Great printer by J. Throop on amazon.com Jun 6, 2012
My wife has had one of these printers for over a year and I got tired of my HP as their cost to run is high and softwear updates are a joke so I bought this brother printer and it is a workhorse. Just as I expected great print quality and a very fast ...
 
Gets the Job done - fast by dphillips209 on bestbuy.com May 2, 2012
Gets the job done fast - review instructions for settings for thin paper printing - to reduce paper curl. Also has 'toner saver' mode and other options. Prints reg paper and special sizes using the multi purpose tray (hidden) - I used this printer at ...
 
A wonderful printer! by monochromatics on bhphotovideo.com Aug 1, 2011
This is a fantastic printer. If you print B&W text documents like I do it is the best printer selection possible in my opinion. It prints 10x the amount of text documents compared to an inkjet, and it being a monochrome printer, it has a very reasonable ...

Truly surprised at what I got by Qtip on staples.com Aug 3, 2011
My partner bought one a year ago for our small business. She prints business docs everyday very frequently and it's still on the starter toner. No paper jams and it prints clear and fast. I just bought the second one and recommended it to several people ...

Not good for printing envelopes. by David S. Green Brook, NJ USA on amazon.com May 4, 2012
I've used other Brother printers in the past several years. Good printers at a fair price. Do not buy this model if you want to print envelopes. The printer ruins every envelope. Purchase the Brother HL-2270DW (for less money)instead.
 
OK, but REALLY Warps Paper & Crinkles Envelopes by PL36 on bestbuy.com Mar 25, 2011
I've had this printer for a few months now. Been impressed with other Brother products but this one falls short. I wanted a simple, compact laser printer that could do duplex (two-sided) printing. The 5340D provides fine print quality reasonably fast ...
 
Disappointed by clb on newegg.com Dec 3, 2010
I have had a few brother printers which I've been happy with and they seem to get good reviews. However this is a disappointment to me. I purchased it for my office when my HP died. Now I feel sort of stuck with it. It works but not great. The duplex ...

Postscript--yes; 1200dpi--yes; Both: NO! by Frustrated on staples.com Sep 3, 2010
I bought the 5340 for its Postscript emulation and its 1200 dpi resolution. Both are valuable for graphic design using Adobe products. I burned up a whole day trying to install the Postscript capability (the word "Postscript" does not even appear in the ...
 
Print output too dim by Sidney R. Lehky on amazon.com Jun 16, 2012
The print output is dim compared to other printers I have used. Normal black text is readable (looks dark gray), but grayscale images are washed out. Anything lighter than a middle gray looks white. Printouts of Google maps are barely visible. This is ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Brother HL-5340D High Speed Laser Printer with Duplex
Fast and easy installation; very speedy printing; print quality very good for text; high capacity toner cartridges available (compatible cartridges are reasonably priced...Although Brother added a "straight through paper path" apparently for the purpose of dealing with criticisms of a previous model that envelopes and thicker media were crinkled or somewhat rolled, the straight through paper path does not solve the envelope problem...This is a great value for a user who does not need to print uncrinkled envelopes with this printer...

Fast...Above-par graphics quality...Built-in duplexer standard...Small size....No network connector....One of the features that defines the HL-5340D as a decidedly personal printer, suitable for one person's use in any size office, is its size...A second key feature, which largely limits the HL-5340D to the personal printer role, is the lack of a network connection...Given that the type of connection can affect speed, my performance results for the HL-5340D...

Brother HL-5340D - Mono Laser review - Printer - Trusted Reviews
The HL-5340D is a great, day-to-day workhorse of a printer for the home or small office and offers reliable printing at low-cost, from a machine which has a purchase price a good deal lower than some of its rivals...Brother's HL-5340D is definitely at the lower end of this spectrum, but offers a high print speed and duplex print as standard, while still sitting well below the £200 mark...The drum has a good service life of 25,000 pages, while the toner cartridges are available in two capacities, of 3,000 and 8,000 pages...

Brother's HL-5240 walked away with the overall award last time we had a round-up of lasers in the PC Pro Labs, and its successor is just as impressive in its own way...There's no doubt that the Brother HL-5340D is a very good printer, but unfortunately, it can't quite match its predecessor...We're talking fractions here, but its speed (an overall average of 27ppm) isn't quite up with the leaders, and the fact that it can't quite match the best here for features means it just misses out...

Brother HL-5340D Review - Quickship.com
For those seeking out an electrophotographic laser printer that is relatively small but can still break the 30 page per minute mark, check out the Brother HL-5340D, a high resolution monochrome workgroup device with enough speed and versatility to satisfy most small offices...Though A4 printing tops out right at the 30 page per minute mark, letter sized prints are able to hit up to 32 pages per minute...DOS can still be used to power the Brother HL-5340D, but prints only at 600 x 600 dots per inch...If this printer is in your price range, there really are not any real downsides other than the lack of included networking, which it almost seems like the Brother HL-5340D would be inclined to...

Brother HL-5340D Printer Review « Stinkyink Blog
Brother’s HL-5340D is a mono-laser aimed at the lower end of the business market...A substantial, square machine with a two-tone case, the HL-5340D looks functional...Sockets for USB and parallel cable connections are at the back, though network support is not included as standard on the HL-5340D...even at the default resolution of 600dpi we saw a good level of detail and accurate shading...This is good for a mono laser at this price and is still competitive with some machines costing over £100 more...
