Toner Cartridges for the Samsung ML-3712

Samsung ML-3712 Printer Review

Monochrome laser printers continue to get smaller and faster, and the Samsung ML-3712 is an excellent example. It can print at up to 37 pages per minute, but is compact enough to share a desktop with a computer. An ECO button can reduce the usage of Samsung ML-3712 printer toner when the highest quality isn't necessary. The ML-3712DW model includes duplexing and wireless support, while the ML-3712ND features wired networking only.

With a footprint of only 14.4x14.5 inches and a height of only 10 inches, the ML-3712 isn't much larger than some larger inkjet models, but it provides much sharper text output, with a maximum resolution of up to 1200 dpi. Its standard input paper capacity of 250 sheets, plus a 50-sheet bypass tray, is a good fit for a personal user, but shared office environments might wish to add an optional 520-sheet drawer for more capacity.

The unit supports multiple setup methods including Wi-Fi Protected Setup for the ML-3712DW model, which only requires users to press a button on the router and a button on the printer to quickly share it with the entire network. This eliminates the need for complicated passwords and other headaches and gets the machine up and running quickly, and is very much worth the upgrade in price. All models include a USB port as a direct connection for personal use.

Replacement toners come in both standard and high-capacity versions. The standard Samsung ML-3712 toner cartridge can provide up to 5,000 pages, while the high-capacity version provides up to 10,000 pages, lowering the cost per page. Users can use the ECO button on the control panel to reduce the usage of Samsung ML-3712 toner and also invoke the duplexing feature to conserve paper.

The ML-3712 is an impressively compact and affordable solution for a small office or a busy personal user. Its speed should be adequate for moderate printing volumes, and the high-yield versions of Samsung ML-3712 toner cartridges can help reduce operating costs over the lifetime of the machine.
