Samsung SL-M2870 Printer Review

With four functions in one device, the Samsung Xpress SL-M2870 multifunction laser printer can handle a wide range of tasks for home and small office users. It includes automatic duplexing, and comes in multiple models that also offer features like wireless support, all of which offer speeds of up to 29 pages per minute. A special Eco button can also help save on Samsung SL-M2870 printer toner and other supplies.

Buyers have a choice between the SL-M2870fd model with automatic duplexing, and the SL-M2870fw model that also adds wireless networking features. The latter is particularly appealing for small office environments where setup and sharing will be quick and easy. The device is a bit on the bulky side for a small office machine, measuring 19.5x18.3x16.8 inches, and it weighs just less than 30 pounds when the Xpress SL-M2870 toner supply is installed.

Paper handling is somewhat limited, but includes a 250-sheet main tray and a single-sheet slot for alternative media. The automatic document feeder is a nice touch for quick scanning, copying, and faxing of multi-page documents, and a flatbed scanner is also included for books, stapled pages, and other irregular media.

Saving on toners and other supplies can be very simple, as the control panel includes an Eco button that switches to duplex output to save paper and uses less Samsung SL-M2870 toner for each page. This should stretch each Xpress SL-M2870 toner cartridge even a bit further than the estimated 3,000-page yield.

The SL-M2870 offers a lot of features for such a small device, and the option for wireless support is a nice touch that will appeal to small office users. Although it offers quick speeds and high-quality output, buyers might find the cost of replacement Samsung SL-M2870 toner cartridges to be a bit higher than those of competing models.
