Toner Cartridges for the Samsung ML-3710

Samsung ML-3710 Printer Review

The Samsung ML-3710 is about as basic as it gets when it comes to office equipment, but it serves its single purpose well. This monochrome laser printer can produce up to 80,000 prints per month, and do so at an impressive rate of about 35 pages per minute. Even without color printer toner, the 1200x1200 dpi resolution will make for clear, sharp text and graphics. So, the ML-3710 is reliable in terms of speed and quality, but what else does it have to offer?

Let's start with versatility and expandability, both of which are important in a work environment. Though this unit lacks the ability to perform multiple functions, it is compatible with a variety of operating systems and supports a number of media types, including envelopes, labels, and transparencies. The paper capacity, which is 300 sheets standard, can be increased up to 820 sheets if users choose to add the 520-sheet cassette that is sold separately. The memory can also be increased, as it starts at 128 MB but can be expanded to 384 MB.

On the top panel, a 2-line LCD is there to allow users to navigate easily through the printer settings, monitor the progress of jobs, and even keep track of the remaining level of Samsung ML-3710 toner. LED lights are also included on the control panel to indicate when an error has occurred, such as a paper jam, or when the Samsung ML-3710 toner is dangerously low.

Replacement toners are easy to find on the internet, and from many office supply stores. Fortunately, to reduce the overall cost per page, compatible Samsung ML-3710 toner cartridges can also be purchased from third-party vendors. The Samsung ML-3710 toner cartridges come in three capacities: 2,000 pages, 5,000 pages, and 10,000 pages.

A single user can connect through a USB 2.0 port, or the unit can be shared by multiple users in an office through the ethernet interface. Duplex printing is an option, which is automatically printing on both sides of the page. The networking and duplexing capabilities are indicated in the alternative model number for this machine, as it is sometimes referred to as the ML-3710ND.

Monochrome, single-purpose devices may be coming off the shelves to make room for all-in-one machines, but the Samsung ML-3710 can still hold its own. In an office with standard printing needs, few machines will provide a better cost per page along with speed and quality.
