BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Brother International Corporation, a leader in the small-office and home office equipment market, today announced the introduction of its latest family of monochrome laser printers (HL-2200 Series from $119-$149*). Focusing on Small Office and Home Office users, these new models will be available beginning in early October 2010. Replacing the highly popular HL-2100 Series, the new series features faster print speeds, while delivering a space-saving compact design that accentuates virtually any working environment. The series flagship HL-2270DW also includes automatic duplex (two-sided) printing as well as wireless connectivity.

Ideal for users who require uncompromising quality without a strain on their budget, this new family of feature-rich printers deliver professional quality results for a variety of daily printing needs. With their small footprint and compact design, they are well suited for locations where space is at a premium - such as office desktops, home offices, as well as small business environments such as the back offices of restaurants and retail stores where extra workspace is an issue.

"I work with many small- and home-based office users who are looking for office equipment that can help save them time and money in the long run," said Home Office Expert Lisa Kanarek. "The duplex printing capability that some of the new Brother mono laser printers offer allows users to reduce their paper consumption, which helps them reduce their overall operating costs."

"At Brother, we understand the needs of small- and home-based office users," said Jeff Sandler, Director of Marketing, Laser Products, Brother International Corporation. "Small- and home-based offices like a medical office or a small lawyer's office will find the duplex printing option on the HL-2240D and HL-2270DW especially useful for reducing their paper use, lowering their printing costs and limiting the need for additional storage space."

This new series of printers are now available at various national office superstores, retailers, dealers and online resellers.
