Good looking- The Samsung ML 1630 printer boasts with dashingly good looks, there is no two ways about that. This monochrome printer is sleek, slim, in a glossy black design with all the technology and electronics housed in modern double storey slabs. The printer dimensions are a super compact 13x14.7x4.8 inches. The size may be small but the value is big at under US$200.00. Also check out Samsung ML 1630 toner.

Controls- The printer controls are so easy to operate and understand with only two selection buttons. More style is added to the device by the blue LED screen which shows you pages and print status in words and graphics format.

Print Quality- Text and graphics print quality is well above average at 600x1200dpi with Samsung toner considering it's price range and the fact that it's a mere monochrome printer. Text is immaculate, crisp, clear outlines with very little to no blemishing or blurring, even with the smallest of font size, gray scale and web printing. Graphics printing is very good with little dithering and banding. However if you prefer super high quality graphics or colour printing rather opt for another model Samsung in a little higher price range or else you are going to be very disappointed.

Media Types and Sizes- A very big disadvantage to the printer is it's limited paper capacity of 100 sheets in and 30 sheets out. However the printer's overall duty cycle is an astonishing 5000 pages. All standard paper sizes are compatible with the printer incl. Letter and Exec. Media types however are a little more limited, with envelope and card printing no supported. Your first page will be produced in a couple of seconds from power to print so there is no more waiting for printer warm-up before printing starts. The printers' engine speed is slow at when compared to other printers in same price range.

Port options- Modern port options are included with the printer in the form of an USB port, so there is no need for additional port investment or old-fashioned connections. Note that no connection cables are included with the printer.

Memory info- 8 Mb's memory is included with your printer investment. Unfortunately you are not able to add more memory modules for networking or large print environment purposes.

Systems supported- The printer is compatible with all popular operating systems including Apple Mac.

Guarantee- A twelve month guarantee comes standard with your printer investment. However you should keep in mind that the guarantee is very restricted in terms of parts and labour. Repairs and service should only be conducted by approved Samsung dealers as it can impact your guarantee with the possibility of rendering it void.
