Hong Kong (7^th Jan 2008) -- Brother International, a leader in home and business IT peripherals that focuses on the 'Customer-First' approach, introduces HL-2150N, an exceptionally stylish looking and improved monochrome laser printer for the wired networked office designed with enhanced features. The HL-2150N, launched in addition to Brother’s HL-2140 and HL-2170W, is the ideal printer that keeps workgroups connected at all times because of its integrated network capability.

“In today’s business environment, there are two things that small offices or business start-ups should critically face during the early stages: connectivity and flexibility. Connectivity keeps the entire organisation, no matter how small, united and one. It is imperative to be connected internally at all times before an organisation could even go out there and compete with large firms,” said Tatsuya Kitamura, Managing Director, Brother International (HK) Ltd.

Kitamura added, “Flexibility, on the other hand, is a primary requirement because it spells how one can adapt in an environment where everything is fast-paced and constantly changing. The business is dynamic – having new challenges surface everyday. It is important to face them and be able to keep up in order to remain competitive.”

Recognising these challenges and capitalising on its print engine technology, Brother adds HL-2150N with network capability under its HL-2100 series of monochrome laser printers: HL-2140 and HL-2170W. The HL-2150N produces quality black and white printouts fast. It is flexible enough to be used by workgroups utilising PC and Mac platforms or applications.

HL-2150N: Designed for Wired Network SOHOs

The HL-2150N boasts of its integrated network capabilities, which is ideal for multiple computer terminals in SOHOs. Not only is it cross-platform compatible with Windows and Mac, but it can also be connected via full speed USB 2.0 port and Ethernet, 10/100 BASE-TX connections for that much needed flexibility. It prints up to 22 A4-sized pages per minute (ppm) with a resolution of up to aHQ1200dpi. Space-wise, the HL-2150N fits snugly on a desk having a dimension of 368mm (W) x 361mm (D) x 170.5mm (H) and weighs only 5.8kg.
