Expert Verdict
The Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 is the ideal answer for your everyday printing needs, whether personal or professional. It also has the advantage of being able to print directly from mobile devices. This multifunction device can also be used as a copier and scanner, with direct scan to device functionality. The Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 is a popular choice among small businesses and home users because of its easy design and compact size. Print speeds are respectable at 20 pages per minute, while the device may benefit from color support because its printer engine can only print monochrome documents.
The M2070 model from Samsung combines a two-tone configuration of a black A4 flatbed scanner positioned on top of a computer. The arrangement isn't particularly appealing or stylist, but it does give the impression of a robust gadget that is quite compact. The mains power and USB ports are located on the back of the printer. The laser printer's very basic front contains a drop-down flap that transforms into the paper input tray, which can hold up to 150 sheets of A4 paper. The M2070 is simple to set up because all you have to do is insert the Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 Toner Cartridge into the printer's body before turning it on and starting the installation process for the included software. Drivers for the printer and scanner are included, as well as Samsung Easy Print Manager, Samsung Easy Document Creator, OCR software, and Easy Wireless Set-up. There will be a check for any updated versions of this software before it is installed. Any updates that are discovered will be incorporated into the installation process. You can connect by wifi or USB, with the option to activate the unit's WPS capability if your router supports it. Scanning, copying, WPS, and Eco mode, as well as power-saving, stop/clear, start, and power choices, are all available via buttons. There's also a little light that flashes when there's Wi-Fi activity. A label just above the control panel, slightly to the left, indicates that this multifunction model supports NFC (Near Field Communication).
When printing documents, the Samsung M2070 offers four different printing options. Normal, Eco, 2-in-1, and Booklet styles are available. As you may expect, the bulk of print tasks are done in Normal print mode. This option gave a print speed of 21ppm when printing a 554-word document. Eco mode offers a variety of options for conserving money on Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 Toner Cartridge, including standard or enhanced printing, a grey font, and ignoring pictures, line drawings, and short lines. I got 23ppm with regular print and 21ppm with enhanced print using the same 554-word document. Both the 2-in-1 and Booklet printing modes conserve paper by allowing the printer to handle all of the text arrangement on the page. Although the font size is adjusted to fit the text on the page, there is a little drop in print speed that is not extreme. Use a high-quality Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 Toner Cartridge to get sharp, clear text and high-quality photographs.
Apart from when it is first warming up or closing down, this multifunction gadget is generally silent in operation. A starting Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 Toner Cartridge with a capacity of 500 pages is included. The Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 is ideal for everyday printing and other applications, thanks to its 600 MHz CPU, high-resolution 1200x1200 dpi scanner, which can create up to 4800x4800 dpi images with Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 Toner Cartridge, and power-saving and eco-friendly settings. The scanner can also scan to a PC or a mobile device and perform manual duplexing. The printer, on the other hand, can only print monochrome documents and has no networking features. Whether you're looking for speed or quality, the Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 printer fits the bill. With the usage of compatible Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 Toner Cartridges, the budget printer might be made even more cost-effective.

The Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 scanner is not working properly. How can I resolve this problem?
There may be a few reasons as to why this problem occurs. Perform the following checks to know what is causing the problem:
Check 1: Make sure that you have placed the document that you wish to scan, face down on the scanner glass or face up in the document feeder.
Check 2: There may be insufficient memory to scan the document. Try the prescan function or try lowering the resolution. If this does not help, clear all the faxes.
Check 3: Ensure that the printer cable is connected properly and is not defective. If the cable is defective, replace it with a good quality cable.
Check 4: Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check the scan settings in the application you use to ensure that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port.
How to solve the issue if foreign particles affect the print quality in the background?
The background scatter issue occurs when bits of toner get randomly distributed on the printout. Perform the following steps to solve this issue:
- The paper that you are currently using may be damp. Try printing with a new stack of paper. Remove the paper from its packaging when you are ready to use it, as paper can absorb moisture.
- Ensure that you are only using high-quality Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 toner cartridges with your printer. Using low-quality toner will affect print quality.
- Ensure that the paper type matches the loaded paper. This is because different types of paper require different amounts of toner.
- It is possible that the toner is gathered at one place inside the cartridge. Remove the Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 toner cartridge from the printer and gently rock it left and right to redistribute the toner inside the cartridge.
- If there are particles scattered throughout the background area, adjust the print resolution of the printouts.
- Check whether your Samsung Xpress SL-M2070 toner cartridge is damaged. Look for any scratches or broken parts. Replace the cartridge immediately if you notice that it is defective.
