Decision: There is no clear overall winner. The HL-L2461DW leads in wireless connectivity and compactness, while the DCP-L2600D provides more functions. Your choice depends on whether Wi-Fi or copying and scanning matter more.
The Brother HL-L2461DW Monochrome Laser Printer and Brother DCP-L2600D Monochrome Laser Multifunction Printer both deliver A4 monochrome laser printing at 34 ppm, with up to 1200 × 1200 dpi resolution, automatic duplex printing, and a 250-sheet input tray. They also use the same TN2500, TN2500XL, and TN2500XXL toner options and the DR2500 drum unit.
The main difference is functionality and connectivity. The DCP-L2600D prints, scans, and copies, including colour scanning at up to 1200 × 1200 dpi optical resolution, but its connection is limited to USB. The HL-L2461DW is print-only but supports Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, Mopria, and Brother Mobile Connect. It is also lighter at 7.1 kg versus 10.1 kg, has smaller dimensions, and holds 150 output sheets instead of 120. The DCP-L2600D counters with 128 MB of memory and a two-line display, compared with 64 MB and a one-line display on the HL-L2461DW.
The HL-L2461DW suits users who prioritise wireless printing and a more compact device. The DCP-L2600D suits those who need document copying and scanning and are comfortable using a USB connection.
The HL-L2461DW is print-only but supports Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and mobile printing services, while also being smaller and lighter. The DCP-L2600D adds copying and scanning, has 128 MB of memory and a two-line display, but uses USB and explicitly lacks wireless connectivity.
Based on current prices, DCP-L2600D Monochrome Laser 3 in 1 Printer is the cheaper option and the better value. It costs 130 USD versus 140 USD for HL-L2461DW Monochrome Laser Printer. The price difference is 10 USD, about 7.1% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
The HL-L2461DW may suit users who want wireless printing from computers or mobile devices and do not need scanning or copying. The DCP-L2600D is more suitable when printing, document copying, and flatbed scanning are all required in one device, provided a USB connection is acceptable.
Both provide A4 monochrome printing at 34 ppm with up to 1200 × 1200 dpi resolution. They also include automatic duplex printing, a 250-sheet input tray, a 600 MHz processor, and the same separate toner-and-drum system using TN2500-series cartridges and the DR2500 drum.
The HL-L2461DW is smaller at 356 × 360 × 183 mm and lighter at 7.1 kg. The DCP-L2600D measures 410 × 399 × 272 mm and weighs 10.1 kg. The HL-L2461DW also holds 150 output sheets, compared with 120 sheets for the DCP-L2600D.
