Samsung ML-4512 Toner Cartridges

Samsung ML-4512 Printer Review

When it comes to the basic monochrome laser printer designed for daily office use, the Samsung ML-4512 is a reliable and affordable choice. It can handle a fast-paced environment with an output rate of 45 pages per minute, which is an average of just over 2 seconds for each print. Only black-and-white documents can be produce, and the black Samsung ML-4512 toner can create a resolution of 1200x1200 dpi. This will deliver quality that is more than adequate for an office environment.

Besides the 16.7x17.1x14.1 inch body of this unit, a USB cord, user's manual and starter Samsung ML-4512 toner cartridge are also provided in the box. The starter printer toner has a yield of 7,000 pages, but replacement toners with higher yields are available. The high-capacity Samsung ML-4512 toner cartridge can produce up to 15,000 prints and the extra high-capacity option has a maximum yield of 20,000 prints.

Connection options give users the opportunity to connect a single device to the ML-4512 through the USB port or create a network through the ethernet base allowing multiple users to share it. There is an LCD on the top panel that makes changing settings and monitoring the level of Samsung ML-4512 toner simple. The CPU is 600 MHz and there is a built-in memory of 128 MB which can be upgraded to a maximum of 640 MB. An automatic duplexer is also available that allows for dual-sided printing.

The standard input tray holds 520 sheets and the bypass tray can hold up to 100 sheets of alternative paper, such as glossy, transparencies, labels and envelopes. The output tray can hold up to 500 sheets. A monthly duty cycle of 200,000 prints is big enough for an office with heavy volumes, though it is recommended not to print that many to get optimal longevity.
