The Samsung ML1500 laser printer, which uses Samsung ML 1500 Toner, was designed as a monochrome laser printer for the home office. This small laser printer, which weighs only 10 pounds, is one of the smallest laser printers available on the market today. Lack of size does have one drawback. The ML 1500 will only print at a 12 page per minute output. A 250 sheet paper tray for letter sized paper provides a plentiful supply of stock for printing.
Two connection ports are available on the ML1500. The parallel and USB ports permit a simple and easy connection to the computer. The owner of the ML1500 can not directly connect the ML1500 to a network, however through the utilization of a print server it could be connected in this manner. The setup software enables the owner to connect to both Windows and Linux OS. There is no driver available for Mac users. The setup software is simple and easy to use, allowing the printer to be connected to the computer in a minimum of time.
Many laser printers are utilized for large print jobs. The 250 sheet paper tray in the ML1500 will provide paper for even the largest jobs. Print resolution is 600 X 600 dpi and this resolution provides minimal jagged edges on even the largest font size. The ML1500 will provide adequate text resolution for any font size from 2 – 72.
Laser printers are generally considered to be outside of the budget for the home office, however the ML1500 with its small size also comes with a small price tag. This small price tag allows the home office owner to purchase a laser printer without breaking the office budget. This allows the home office the same economies for printing as large offices have.
Finding a toner cartridge is never a problem for the ML1500 owner. Samsung has designed a “one size fits all” toner cartridge for its 1500 and 1700 series laser printers. The printers are shipped with a 1000 sheet toner cartridge; however, larger toner cartridges are available when the starter cartridge is exhausted.
The small size of the ML1500 means that it should be easy to operate. Samsung has accomplished this by making the printer controllable only from the computer through software. There are no buttons on the top or sides of the printer. This insures that the owner won’t have to stretch all the way across the office to set the printer for a specific job. All functions are merely a mouse click away.
In a laser printer designed for the everyman, Samsung created the ML1500 with 600 X 600 DPI resolution. This resolution insures that nearly all monochrome printing requirements are completed with a minimum of fuss and maximum quality. Document printing is seldom accomplished at higher than 600 X 600 DPI and this is the niche that Samsung has sought to fill for the home office.
