Neither Brother HL-L2340DW nor Samsung Xpress M2020W were recommended by experts this month

On 4 Mar 2024 (24 days ago) we went through 60 Laser Printer expert endorsements , however neither Brother HL-L2340DW nor Samsung Xpress M2020W were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Laser Printer received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Brother MFCL2750DW or other critically acclaimed Laser Printers of this month.

For reference, Brother MFCL2750DW received 3 endorsements this month, from Rtings.com (21 Feb 2024), Wirecutter (22 Jan 2024) and Tom's Guide (29 Feb 2024).

Scan, Fax, Photocopy

The four main functions of printers are: printing, scanning, photocopying, and faxing. Either your device will be print only, print/scan/copy, or an all-in-one printer that does printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Note that scanning and copying almost always come together, since the hardware for these features overlaps significantly. Generally speaking, all-in-one printers are larger, so those with space constraints may find this to be an inconvenience. Additionally, printers with a fax feature are typically more expensive. It would be wise to only consider this feature if you plan to fax often. If not, you’ll be satisfied with a print/scan/copy device.

LCD

Printers with an LCD screen/display give you the option to control some settings directly on the printer, such as a one-touch print, scan, copy, or fax. You may also be able to adjust print quality, preview the print job, and/or view connection settings. Some screens are programmed to offer setup instructions for easy installation. For those who are not particularly tech savvy, this could be helpful.

LCD screens can be color or black and white, touchscreen or not, and vary in size across brands and models. The larger the touch screen, usually the easier it is to use the controls.
