  • Abstract:  The HL-4040CN is designed to be, and is priced as, a low-end machine. Shoppers seeking more features (such as additional paper capacity) might consider its higher-end cousin, the HL-4070CDW.

  • Low price; excellent text quality, Excellent setup and documentation
  • Confusing control panel; heavy weight, Not expandable

  • Great print quality; USB port for cameras and flash drives; network-ready; reprint, direct-print, and secure print features are useful.
  • Black print speeds are on the slow side; input paper capacity is not expandable; no optional duplexer available.
  • Despite its lagging black print speeds, the Brother HL-4040CN does a lot of things right and makes a compelling color laser printer for small offices or workgroups.
