I bought it becasue I need to have my pdf set to auto, itmenas it selects which try to use automatically basedon the documents' settings. So, for notaries printing mortage packages this printer is thw best choice for several reasons. It is laser and it will save money on ink if you print hundreds of pages a month (vs. inkject) and some lenders will not accept loan documents printed on inkjets. Second it switches automatically between legal size and letter/A4, and that was the main reason why this printer is great. You need ot set to auto in your pdf doc printing settings and you need to set your trays 1 to legal (smaller one) and one to letter (lower tray) and you will be good to go. I know from other users that these printers form Brother can run for years. It is also a good printer for small business where you share your printer on wifi network.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very fast printing and good quality

I'm very impressed with the speed of the printing. I'm a notary signing agent so I needed a fast printer with 2 trays. I still have trouble getting it to automatically decide to print legal or letter, hence the 4 star. If I could get that figured out it would be a 5 star. The quality of the print is great, nice and clean. It's also very quite while printing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sleep mode

I regret buying a printer that is in sleep mode all the time. I have to repeatedly try printing until it finally wakes up to print, then immediately goes back to sleep again.

This printer is easy to setup and easy to use. I enjoy it's Bluetooth capability which allows me to print from any room in my home. Although I have not figure out how to get it to sense different paper size within a print package yet, this printer is ideal for my notary loan signing business.

I am a Notary Loan Signing Agent and I print documents up to 300 pages and needed a printer that could print multiple sized pdfs. This printer is quick and efficient! I am very happy with it!

Good hardware extremely frustrating software

It prints fine so far it has never jammed, and it prints quickly. However the software unnecessarily complicated and it WILL NOT stay connected to my computer. It has caused me to be late multiple times.

Super fast for large jobs!

from Milton, FL
I recently started a second job of being a notary signing agent for mortgages and refinancing.This usually requires print two 100 plus page packages of mixed letter and legal. I bought the second drawer and it prints the whole job super quickly. Paper rarely jams and it is a simple clear procedure when it happens. The only complaint I have is that if one size paper runs out during the print job, instead of pausing and prompting me to fill the empty drawer, it just prints the rest of the job on the paper that is left causing me to reprint some documents. Obviously this is minor because I should be making sure the drawers are full but it would still be nice if it didn't default to the remaining paper. The speed and performance for the price make this an excellent value.

HLL5200DWT.

I hate that the trays do not slide out easily. I have to open, close, wiggle and maybe repeat several times before the tray will open. I am a mobile loan closing agent and sometimes the packages or over 300 pages and I have to reload the paper trays. This is frustrating when I need to leave in a few moments.
