Samsung ML-2851ND Printer Review
Compact laser printers designed for small office use often come with compromises in speed and quality. The Samsung ML-2851ND compromises very little, delivering fast print speeds of up to 28 pages per minute and stellar print quality, especially for text. Samsung ML-2851ND toner costs are also among the lowest in its class, making it easy on the budget.
There are two models available. The Samsung ML-2851N has built-in ethernet networking, allowing it to be shared among multiple users. The ML-2851ND adds automatic duplexing, or two-sided printing, which can help save on paper when enabled as the default option. The unit has a 400 megahertz processor, which gives it the ability to handle a fairly large number of users, and its 32 MB of RAM can be expanded to a maximum of 160 MB to handle more graphics-intensive printing. Input paper capacity is 250 sheets, with a 1-sheet multipurpose bypass slot.
Saving money on printer toner is easy with the "toner save" mode, which reduces toner usage with only a slight reduction in print quality. Samsung ML-2851ND toner cartridges have a large capacity of 3,000 pages, and Samsung ML-2851ND toner cartridges are very affordably-priced, resulting in a low cost per page. For a small office on a budget, toners don't have to be a huge expense.
