Have you seen Samsung’s leprechaun color printer and copier and scanner? Not sure I’d go so far as to say it’s a micro unit, but it’s definitely qualifies as a mini. Maybe that’s why it’s advertised as the ‘world’s smallest color printer’. And it’s not just a printer either. The little guy is fully (well mostly anyway) deserving of the ‘MFP designation. Also look for Samsung CLX 2160 N printer cartridge.
MFP is a short term for multi-functioning printer, which means it has different functional qualities. The Samsung CLX 2160N printer has qualities such as a color laser printer, a scanner, and a copier. Like most Samsungs printers this printer does not have a fax function (reasons will be stated below). It is definitely not a cheap kind of printer, however you don’t need to take out a loan to buy one. Note that the N in the product title of Samsung CLX 2160N means that this is a network-ready product. It can be used by all computers on that same network simply by plugging it directly into a router (a network switch like device).
The printer is an inexpensive entry into the color scanner/printer/copier market but don’t forget about the Samsung printer toner cartridge - the consumables. Toner is the powdery substance that comes inside something called a cartridge. In the copying/printing process, an electrostatic charge is placed across the paper and super hot electric filament melts the toner in very price locations. Put all those locations together and you’ve got text or a picture or whatever you’re printing/copying.
Knowing the Samsung CLX-2160N uses 4 toners, the speed for the color laser is 4ppm in A4. It is important to realize that there are two different types of print out times, color and the mono (a fancy word for black and white). The print out time for the color is 26 seconds. The print out time for the mono is 46 seconds. The manual however is duplex.
Scanning is another way to describe paperless printing. You put what you want to ’scan’ into the document feeder. Push a button and voila. The scanner function copies the page into a digital image. Now you see on your screen what’s on the paperin full color. This little baby does 1200×500 which gives you a very detailed, very sharp image. Output can be sent to USB/Folder/Application or the network. In other words, you can send the image anywhere you want to send it.
It is important to know that the copy differs from two different speeds. These speeds apply to color and mono (there’s that fancy word for B&W again). The speed in the color is 5ppm in A4. The speed in Mono is 16ppm in A4. Seconds for the first copy out time are 18 for mono and 45 for color.
Unlike most of other Samsung printers this printer due to it’s small size, try as hard as they could, the boys in the white coats at Samsung labs just couldn’t get the fax function into this puppy. You wouldn’t think that space has a lot to do with it but I guess it does. Either that or they wanted to keep the price down or they want you to pay more for a printer that faxes too. Hard to say how these guys think.
The average price for that of a Samsung CLX-2160N is about $420 USD but you can get it for less than half of that if you shop the web for competitive pricing. This cost may be pricey but how do you compare a one of a kind printer to anything else? Besides that, it’s a Samsung. Samsung is a quality name. Samsung makes printers that cost a lot more too.
Buying Samsung CLX 2160 N toner cartridge separately will cost you around USD $20. The all in one set of rainbow Samsung toner for this particular unit will set you back around USD$70. Remember that there are a lot of web stores out there that have more competitive prices than your local business supply shop. Shop around for the best deal. Finally, remember that Samsung is constantly bringing out new products. This particular Samsung is one of many of this year’s newest models.

Manufacturers thrive on finding niche markets. Samsung has done just that with the ML1500 laser printer. This printer, which Samsung designed for the home office weighs is a lightweight at 10 pounds but isn’t a lightweight when it comes to printing documents. This small desktop printer prints out 12 pages of documents per minute and is fed from a half ream (250 sheets) of A4 paper in the paper tray.
This Samsung Device isn’t for everyone however. Samsung designed it to work in Windows and Linux environments, leaving out the Apple segment. Connection to the computer can be made through either parallel or USB ports. While the ML1500 can not be placed into a network environment straight out of the box, it can be networked through the utilization of a print server. Setting up the printer on the computer is quick and easy and provides an effortless installation for the owner.
Many laser printers are utilized for large print jobs. The 250 sheet paper tray in the ML1500 will provide paper for even the largest jobs. Print resolution is 600 X 600 dpi and this resolution provides minimal jagged edges on even the largest font size. The ML1500 will provide adequate text resolution for any font size from 2 - 72.
Most laser printers are considered to be behemoths fit for the office and many are just that. The ML1500 however breaks that axiom and provides a laser printer that comes in both a small size and a low price tag. These attributes make the ML1500 attractive to the home office or college student when budgets are tight and laser print quality is desired. The small size and modest cost provides laser printing to the home office that rivals the big office machines.
Samsung has recognized that multiple printers can utilize the same toner cartridge. With this in mind, the Samsung 1500 and 1700 lines of laser printers utilize the same Samsung ML 1500 Toner Cartridge. This insures that the owner of an ML1500 won’t have to search high and low when it comes time to replace the 1000 page starter cartridge that his machine was supplied with. Additionally, toner cartridges like the printer itself are quite reasonably priced.
When one thinks of laser printers, the common thought is a large, printer that takes up a lot of space in the office. The ML1500, with its small size, takes up about the same space as a cartridge printer. This small size also insures that the printer is simple to operate. All of the printer functions are controlled through the PC and with this in mind, there are no control buttons on the printer itself. The ML1500, software controlled allows the owner to not have to reach across the desk to activate buttons on the printer.
In a laser printer designed for the everyman, Samsung created the ML1500 with 600 X 600 DPI resolution. This resolution insures that nearly all monochrome printing requirements are completed with a minimum of fuss and maximum quality. Document printing is seldom accomplished at higher than 600 X 600 DPI and this is the niche that Samsung has sought to fill for the home office.
The low price of both the printer and the ML 1500 Toner are small in size, make the ML1500 is ideal for the home office. The universal Samsung toner cartridges provide an adequate supply of toner and are available through almost any dealer. Should a home office require a laser printer, then this Samsung Device should be a highly considered acquisition. For more information, visit http://www.qtoner.us.

PC’s, TV’s and Mobile phones as well as a whole host of other electronic equipment have gone through and evolution in design in the past few years. The only piece of machinery that seems to have been left behind during this evolution is the humble, but ever so necessary multifunction printer. It sees they are still put together as cheaply as possible, and they look like hunks of plastic casing. Until the design of the Samsung SCX 4500 printer which works with Samsung SCX 4500 Toner that is!
Although this is more than likely less true in the case of laser printer, it certainly applies to color inject printers that come in below $100 and have almost become disposable, rather than replace the ink cartridges. Samsung is not a manufacturer that operates in this way fortunately, and although their equipment is easily affordable, they have also been intent on improving their quality of design.
The latest example of this design genius is the Samsung SCX 4500 MFP, it has a very small footprint of 13 by 15.5 by 6.5. Although these small dimensions may belie your faith in this product it is still a marvel of design. This printer is a full function MFP regardless of the fact that it has been slimmed down. It also has a very stylish exterior and if it is style you want then you will definitely get it. This printer is incredibly quiet as well as easy to operate.
This MFP features touch sensitive controls, however some of the settings are limited. The software application for scanning and some of the printer functions is SmartThru and installation to Windows XP is a very simple process. Just make sure you have a USB cable, if you don’t you will have to buy one, but if you have an old printer you can use the cable from that. It takes about five minutes to set up and is ready to work. A printed page can be copied in about 10 seconds and there is very little warm up time required.
Although the paper cassette is hidden in the bottom of the printer it has a limited capacity, but if you want a printer with a small footprint, what more can you expect. Print quality is reasonable, but considering the $300 or so price tag of this laser printer, this is to be expected.
Although the scanner function is relatively slow, it does produce a good quality image at an optical resolution of 600 x 2400 dpi. Samsung toner Toner is simply removed and replaced also, and grey-scale printing is completely passable.
The Samsung SCX-4500 is a more than adequate printer for home use, but it is not recommend it as a networked printer for office work, it does not have a built in Ethernet. Although if everyone in the office has their own printer, it is also fine. Users are also not able to print from a USB drive and it does not have a card reader. It is also not terribly fast at 16 pages per minute out-put, which places it behind some of the competition. However these slight flaws are easily overlooked as this MFP is so stylish, and sometimes style demands certain trade-offs.
Summary: If it is a cool printer you are looking for then you will get cool with the Samsung toner. For the best possible print quality and efficiency you must make use of SXC 4500 Toner Cartridge plugs, this will ensure your printer has a long life as well as keep it reliable.

Super compact: The Brother HL 2040 Printer good value for money while being small and cute weighing in at 14.3 pounds and measuring at 6.5 x 14.6 x 14.2 inches and 250 page drawer. The design is a little conventional, so don’t expect it to win the prize for looks but in terms of space saving it is definitely top on the list with the size of an inkjet printer. This laser is perfect for everyday use and text printing. Look for Brother HL 2040 printer toner.
Paper size and type: Most paper types and sized are accepted including standard, letter, legal and A4 as well a special sizes.

Print quality: Print quality in terms of text printing is rather good and a notch above standard with Brother cartridge, with small font sizes the character edges are a little jagged, blemished and fonts askew on envelopes but it does the almost impossible by printing closely spaced bold characters still separated. However printing in general is not best standard available. This mini black laser printer pushes twenty pages per minute at 2400×600 dpi, thus a machine with ideal printing quality for home use. When it comes to graphic and photo printing the printer’s quality is poor with line art grainy, in-your-face dithers, posterization and darks being too dark and highlights totally washed out. Another glitch is paper curls and folding.
Guide: The user manual is well presented as installation and setup is explained extensively. Other same priced Brother printer options will have to be skipped as they are also contained in the guide. A user guide is also included on the printer software CD in PDF format.
No upgrading: No upgrading options in terms of additional trays for increased printing demand or double sided printing are available on this model.
Ports: The printer is chop-chop connected to your computer via USB or Parallel ports. Ethernet as well as wireless are unfortunately not available with this model or as upgrade.

Choosing a printer is never an easy thing. The moment you settle on one, you see something else that makes your eyes pop out of your head. But once you really think about it, how many of those advanced features do you really need for home printing. This is when the Samsung SCX 4016 printer starts to shine. Also look for SCX 4016 toner cartridge.
For the printing capabilities that you are going to need, you should not be spending more than $200. That falls right in line with this Samsung as you can find it for about $125 and even less than $100 on occasion. It is tough to find a good dot matrix printer for that price and here you are getting a laser printer handed to you!
There simply is no need to spend $500 on a printer for your home. If it was an office that lived off of printing, you could understand it, but for basic needs, this will more than do the job. This can handle basic needs and has a few bonus features thrown in as well.
Something that frustrates a lot of people is the inability to get the printer hooked up once you get it home. By the time you get it unpacked, you realize that you have to read through a college textbook in order to print your first page. You will find that this printer is so easy to set up that your kids can handle it for you!
You will also find that unlike other printers, this one will not take up very much space.

Furthermore, with a print speed of about 17 pages per minute, you won’t be standing around waiting for your work to come out like you would with a lot of matrix printers.
The closest competitors to this printer are various HP Laserjets and another Samsung Printer. However, while they are all similar in features, the HP printers are significantly more expensive. For instance, the HP Laserjet 3030 sells for as high as $500 on some sites. The closest that you will find in the HP group is the HP LaserJet 3015, but it pales in comparison production wise the Samsung.
This printer may not have everything that you want, but does it have everything that you need? For home printing, the answer is a resounding yes. It can handle the kids school reports and any printing that you may need on a daily basis with Samsung printer toner.
