Toner Cartridges for the Samsung ML-2240

Samsung ML-2240 Printer Review

The Samsung ML-2240 is a basic, single-function laser printer that has the means to support standard monochrome projects for personal users. The unit can print the first page out in less than 10 seconds, and has maximum speeds of 22 pages per minute that are neither the quickest nor slowest in its class. While the ML-2240 doesn't have a lot of advanced features, it's an affordable and reliable device to have around the house, especially for users who print a lot of text and want to control costs.

A size of approximately 14x12x8 inches makes it a slightly bulky, box-shaped machine for home users, and buyers may need to make room for it on desktops. Connection options are limited, with only a single USB port included to connect the device to a PC. The device also has a small memory of 8 MB and a maximum monthly duty cycle of 8,000 pages that make it best for low print volumes and personal use.

The unit's 150-sheet multipurpose tray is the extent of its media handling input options and supports sizes ranging from a minimum of 3x5 inches to a maximum of 8.5x14 inches. Accepted media includes envelopes, plain paper, transparencies and cards, among others. For monochrome text and graphics projects, users can print on supported paper types with a crisp maximum resolution of 1200x600 dpi using black Samsung ML-2240 printer toner.

The unit comes with a starter black Samsung ML-2240 toner cartridge that has a capacity of 700 pages. Cost-efficient remanufactured toners can be found at many third-party sites, at lower prices than OEM versions. Each replacement Samsung ML-2240 toner cartridge has a maximum capacity of 1,500 pages.

From slower print speeds and limited built-in RAM, to its minimal media capacity and single-function design, the ML-2240 is one of the more basic personal monochrome printers. Although it benefits from an inexpensive retail price, buyers that want more functionality can find more capable devices without spending too much more.
