Samsung SL-M2625D Printer Review

The Samsung SL-M2625D is a fairly simple monochrome laser printer for personal use, but it offers some extras like duplexing along with speeds of up to 27 pages per minute. With multiple features geared toward reducing supply costs, users can make the Samsung SL-M2625D printer toner last for a long time as well.

The SL-M2625D sits right in the middle of its model line, between the SL-M2625 base model and the SL-M2625DW, which has wireless sharing built in. For users who only want a direct USB connection, but still want automatic duplexing, however, it is the perfect compromise. The device measures 8x14.5x13.2 inches, with a weight of 16.4 pounds with the Samsung SL-M2625D toner cartridge installed.

The input paper tray is adequate for an individual, holding up to 250 sheets, and there is a single-sheet multipurpose bypass slot as well. Although the output is limited to 600 dpi, Samsung promises an effective resolution of 4800x600 dpi that should beat out similar models in its class. The included software, the Easy Printer Manager, helps users control virtually every aspect of the device from their computer screen, rather than the sparse control panel on the device itself.

The unit also comes with an Easy Eco Driver, which lets users save on toners by eliminating unneeded elements before printing, such as web images. This can really stretch the useful life of each Samsung SL-M2625D toner cartridge, and save money. There is also a One-Touch Eco Button on the control panel, which reduces the amount of Samsung SL-M2625D toner used for each printed page.

It may be tempting to upgrade to the SL-M2625DW model and its wireless support, but for a significant price break, users who don't need the extra sharing capabilities will be quite happy with the SL-M2625D. It has a balanced feature set, solid speed, and sharp output quality.
