Brother MFC-L2750DW: Setup, Drivers, Ink and Common Problems

Is the Brother MFC-L2750DW right for you?

The MFC-L2750DW topped the 2018 compact laser all-in-one range with single-pass duplex scanning, NFC, a touchscreen and a 36 ppm engine. The XL edition came with enough TN-760 toner for two years of typical home-office use. It is the model most small businesses picked for scanning contracts double-sided into cloud storage. Firmware toner blocking applies here too, so compatible-cartridge users usually freeze updates.

Best for: Small businesses wanting duplex scanning in a compact laser

Setting up the Brother MFC-L2750DW

Set up over Ethernet or the touchscreen wireless wizard, then install the Full Driver & Software Package on Windows for ControlCenter and PC-Fax. Add cloud accounts in Web Connect to scan directly from the panel. Tap an Android phone to the NFC logo for quick printing with Brother Mobile Connect.

1. Unbox and prepare. Remove every piece of shipping tape and packing material, install the toner cartridge and drum unit, and load paper in the tray.
2. Join your Wi-Fi. Keep the printer close to the router for setup. Most printers only connect to the 2.4GHz band, so if your router broadcasts one merged network name you may need to split the bands temporarily. See our Wi-Fi guide if it will not join.
3. Install the setup app. Use Brother's official app rather than a driver you found on a search result — third-party driver sites are the most common source of printer malware.
4. Add the printer. On Windows 11: Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners › Add device. On macOS: System Settings › Printers & Scanners › Add Printer.
5. Print a test page and run a scan if this is an all-in-one, so you find any problem now rather than when you are in a hurry.

Ink, toner and supplies

The Brother MFC-L2750DW uses the following consumables. Match the number exactly when you buy: the same printer family often uses several different cartridge numbers by region.

• TN-730 toner (1,200 pages)
• TN-760 high-yield toner (3,000 pages)
• DR-730 drum unit (12,000 pages)

High-yield (XL) versions almost always cost less per page if you print regularly. On third-party ink and toner, read our honest assessment first, and note that some manufacturers push firmware that rejects non-original chips.
