The printer is durable and offers multiple functionalities. With print resolution of 1200 x 600 dpi, it creates extremely high-quality text prints at a rate of 17 pages per minute.The printer takes up about as much desktop space as a typical laser printer. Powering on the printer exposes a slick blue LED readout that shows the current page count and any error information if present. The body has only two touch-sensitive controls: power and cancel. Wireless connection is easy to achieve, as the setup routine provides for both local and network connections.Physical setup is also a straightforward process.
With Samsung ML-1630 toner cartridges, the print texts are crisp and readable, even at small font sizes and in gray-scale output. Graphics look very good but dithering can be seen in photos which is typical of most monochrome lasers. It's black text prints are clean and sharp as well as black graphics prints are also finely detailed and sharp.
The ML-1630's speed is lack-laid for the price, and its output quality less than ideal. But both speed and quality are good enough for using the printer in the home office, small office, or as a personal printer in a larger office. A potentially more serious issue is its limited paper capacity. The paper drawer is so thin it can hold only 100 sheets which is an unusually small capacity for a laser printer.
