A solid workhorse of a printer with all the necessary features for almost any office. An affordable price makes it even more appealing. The Samsung ML-2150 is a medium sized monochrome laser printer sporting many great features and very few drawbacks. The first of these features is a large input tray. With a 500 page tray included and an additional 500 page tray as an upgrade option, this printer exceeds the standard for its class.
A simple software process makes it easy to get up and running quickly. The simplicity is carried over into the onscreen menus and buttons. Included are one-touch buttons for “Toner Save” and “Duplexing” (two-sided printing). This is an extremely handy feature as it allows even those users unfamiliar with the printer to save toner and paper, and therefore save money. An ethernet port is also an optional feature.
Printing speed is very fast at 21 pages per minute, and print quality is above average for its class, with sharp text and smooth graphics. The printer supports a wide range of paper sizes and types. It comes with a starter toner cartridge with a capacity of 4000 pages, but the normal cartridge capacity is 8000 pages. Combined with the toner save and duplexing features, the ML-2150 is a very economical choice.
One downside to this model is its size, which is somewhat larger than many printers in its price range. It won’t fit in the same space as a small inkjet printer, but it is not exactly bulky, either. Another downside is that the printer tends to be a bit loud, so users may want to plan against placing it too close to themselves, as the noise may become distracting.
Overall, the ML-2150 is easy to recommend. With its large capacity, great print quality and affordable price, it should be a consideration for almost any home or office setting.
