Sharp AL2040CS Digital Laser Copier, Printer, Scanner

The sharp AL series copiers are a fair bargain for the price, have good print quality but fair reliability. I have purchased three of these types, and they last 2-3 years of heavy used before dying, normally a gear strips out.

Toner cartridges are incredibly easy and cheap to refill, and the drum lasts forever, just look up the reset code for your model on the internet when it wants to be replaced.

For the cost, its a great buy, but think of the printer as a consumable if you are giving it heavy use. For home use it should last forever.

I love this copier. This is our second Sharp copier. It is a great value and the options have helped me to efficiently manage my time. The document feeder, two side copying, full color scanning feature, etc. are excellent! This has been a great addition to our small business. I highly recommend this Sharp copier.

This is one of the noisiest, most annoying printers I've ever had the displeasure of using. The guy next to me has one. We joke about the squirrel inside. It is always chirping and grinding. I despise the thing. Most everyone here does.
Print quality is fair. Speed is not good. The dumbest thing is the wake up/sleep button is the same as the copy button so if you are a little impatient like me you'll end up putting it to sleep rather than getting the copy you need. If It were up to me I'd throw it out the window.

Our Dell blows this one away.
