Our verdict

A basic wireless monochrome laser for light home and office document printing. It flips pages by hand for two-sided jobs and has no network port, so heavier users should step up a model.

Overview

Not a duplexing or Ethernet model, the HL-L2405W is a compact laser that prints black and white pages over Wi-Fi or a USB cable. It handles plain paper, labels and envelopes from one tray and prints from phones through the Brother app.

A small footprint and wireless printing make it easy to place on a shelf or desk away from the router. The limits are plain: two-sided printing is manual, there is no wired network connection, and it cannot copy or scan.

Who it's for

A household or home office printing letters, forms and labels without much volume. Phone and tablet printing goes through the app. Busy offices that print long two-sided documents will want automatic duplex instead of flipping stacks by hand.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compact body for a desk or shelf
  • Wi-Fi printing from phones and laptops
  • Labels and envelopes supported
  • Large paper tray for its size
Cons
  • Duplex is manual
  • No Ethernet port
  • Print only, no copy or scan
  • Black and white output only

Performance notes

A laser engine fuses toner onto the page, so text stays sharp on plain paper and smears less than liquid ink. The rated speed is for black and white text and drops when the printer warms up for a first page. Manual duplex adds time because the user reloads each stack.
