Samsung ML-4050 Printer Review
If speed is something the office desires, the Samsung ML-4050 is a good place to look. With speeds as fast as 40 pages per minute, no one in the office will be standing by this laser printer waiting for results. Though it is a bit heavy at 34.2 pounds, its size is very compact at only 15.6x17.8x13.9 inches. Connection is versatile offered via ethernet, parallel or USB ports, and although it only comes with 64 MB of memory upon purchase, that can be upgraded at any time to 512 MB. For offices with a printing range somewhere below 200,000 pages a month, the ML-4050 will be perfect.
Have versatile needs when it comes to types of media printed? If so, the Samsung ML-4050 will have everything covered—it can produce exceptional results on transparencies, labels, envelopes, plain paper, cards and card paper. Paper sizes as small as 3x5 inches and as large as 8.5x11 inches are supported. Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems are all supported making setup of this little machine quick and easy.
To operate, only one Samsung ML-4050 toner cartridge will be needed, but the price tag on this printer toner is a little steep—even when its 10,000 page yield is taken into consideration. For a better savings and more pages in-between replacements, consider using the high capacity Samsung ML-4050 toner that yields 20,000 pages.
Users and experts alike agree that the Samsung ML-4050 is a quality machine. First off, everyone seems to love its quick speeds and inexpensive upfront price, as well as its ability to plug directly into LAN. However, many have complained about its lack of automatic duplex printing. Another complaint has to do with replacement Samsung ML-4050 toner cartridges. Most find that these are a little too expensive, in comparison to similar toners on the market.
