DCP-L2500D
The Brother DCP-L2500D proves a small-office laser does not need a network cable to earn its keep. This 3-in-1 mono machine prints, copies, and scans at up to 26 ppm over USB 2.0, with automatic duplexing and a 250-sheet tray standard. A simple 2-line LCD keeps operation uncomplicated. High-yield TN660 toner (~2,600 pages) and the DR630 drum (~12,000 pages) make it one of the cheapest mono 3-in-1s to run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Brother DCP-L2500D use?
The DCP-L2500D uses the Brother TN630 standard-yield black toner (~1,200 pages) or the Brother TN660 high-yield black toner (~2,600 pages), paired with the Brother DR630 drum unit (~12,000 pages).
What is the difference between the TN630 and the TN660?
Both fit the same printers. The TN660 is the high-yield version — about 2,600 pages versus about 1,200 for the TN630 — so it costs less per page if you print a lot.

About 12,000 pages — roughly five times the life of a TN660 toner cartridge.
