Good looking- The Samsung ML 1630 printer boasts with dashingly good looks, there is no two ways about that. This monochrome printer is sleek, slim, in a glossy black design with all the technology and electronics housed in modern double storey slabs. The printer dimensions are a super compact 13×14.7×4.8 inches. The size may be small but the value is big at under US$200.00. Also check out Samsung ML 1630 toner.
Control Panel- If you are a little technologically challenged, you are in luck as the designers at Samsung have come up with a wonderful easy control panel with only two buttons and a LED screen for showing print status, options and other information in pictures and words.
Print Quality- Text and graphics print quality is well above average at 600x1200dpi with Samsung toner considering it’s price range and the fact that it’s a mere monochrome printer. Text is immaculate, crisp, clear outlines with very little to no blemishing or blurring, even with the smallest of font size, gray scale and web printing. Graphics printing is very good with little dithering and banding. However if you prefer super high quality graphics or colour printing rather opt for another model Samsung in a little higher price range or else you are going to be very disappointed.
Paper Type and Size- The greatest disadvantage the printer is it’s very low paper capacity of 100 sheet input and a mere 30 sheet output. Avoid the printer totally if you get bored quickly or are a little slack when it comes to paper loading. On the other hand the duty cycle of the printer is an above average 5000 pages. The printer accepts most of the media sizes including A4, A5, A6, Letter, Executive and B5. When it comes to paper types this little gadget can be a little fussy, rejecting thick media including envelopes and some cards. Other paper types accepted are plain, bond, recycle and label. The printers’ speed is not to shabby at 17 ppm text and 6 ppm graphics printing. However when compared to printers in the same price range it comes in last. A very big pro to the printer is its no-need for warming-up. It goes from start-up to first page print in under 7 seconds, no more waiting for 20 plus for warm-ups.
Port options- No old fashioned interface options here, included with the unit is super speedy USB interface connection for either your computer or camera. Cables are not included with your purchase.
Memory info- 8 Mb’s memory is included with your printer investment. Unfortunately you are not able to add more memory modules for networking or large print environment purposes.
Operators supported- The printer is compatible with all your well known operators such as Windows, Linux and Apple Macintosh.
Guarantee- A twelve month guarantee comes standard with your printer investment. However you should keep in mind that the guarantee is very restricted in terms of parts and labour. Repairs and service should only be conducted by approved Samsung dealers as it can impact your guarantee with the possibility of rendering it void.
