When using the best quality setting - HQ 1200dpi - print times were inconsistent but the HL-5370DW still achieved an average rate of 24.7ppm, with the first page printed in 14.5 seconds. The first page was printed in an average of 9.8 seconds when the printer was awake, and 21.6 seconds when waking from its intelligent sleep mode. The Wi-Fi connection can be configured through the Web-based interface while connected over Ethernet but remains inactive until the interfaces are switched.īrother claims that the HL-5370DW mono laser printer is capable of printing 30 pages per minute, but we managed to achieve an average rate of 31.5ppm in both 300dpi and 600dpi modes during our tests. It also supports three different push-button wireless sync methods - Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), AOSS and SecureEasySetup - so if your router supports any of these you just have to press a small button on the back of the HL-5370DW and then connect to a wireless access point. You must first switch on the active interface by holding down the "Go" button, but once this is done the HL-5370DW broadcasts an ad-hoc wireless network to which you can connect and set up the printer. We would have preferred an easier method of obtaining basic network settings.

However, Windows XP and Mac OS users are bound to have a harder time. Thankfully, Brother has implemented PnP-X (Plug and Play Extensions) over Ethernet so that the printer is easily discoverable on Windows Vista and Windows 7. You can print a network configuration report directly from the HL-5370DW mono laser printer, but it is used primarily for setting up Wi-Fi and we could not get it to report the assigned Ethernet IP address.
The set-up disc guides you through network installation, but without this disc it can be a little tricky.
