Samsung ML-1615 Printer Driver and Software

The perfect combination of low price and improved characteristics of the technical plan positively distinguishes the Samsung ML-1615 from the majority of similar printers based on the laser printing process. Of course, this peripheral cannot boast of high speed, but in the segment of the most affordable, economical solutions, this feature fades into the background. Otherwise, this print node is suitable for creating small document management systems.

The Samsung ML-1615 printer has the maximum allowable print limit of 5000 pages. It is enough to create small printing systems that cover a small office or workgroup. Such a laser printer is also perfect for home use. The limiting factors here are the mediocre quality of the print products and the reduced speed. But as already mentioned, these two parameters fade into the background in the budget niche of laser printers.

Paper

The basic format for outputting documentation of Samsung ML-1615 is A4. It is also possible to print on media of any size. The smallest page size in this case is 76 x 127, and the maximum sheet size is 216 x 356. Among other features of this printing unit, it is worth noting that it can print on envelopes and thermal film. The lowest value of the carrier density was determined by the company’s engineers to be 60 g / m2. And its largest value is 160g/m2. For this reason, in this case it is not allowed to print on common supports such as Whatman, packaging cardboard or photo paper. Each of them has a much greater density, and this alone can damage the printing system.

Key Features

For printing 5000 pages in monochrome formcalculated by Samsung ML-1615. Reviews also show that this volume is enough for home use and entry-level offices. The cartridge model for this printer is ML-1610D2. Its resource is 2000 pages, but after purchase it can only produce 1000 sheets. As a result, you will need to refill it with toner 2-3 times a month. Here too, there are two ways to refill the cartridge.

One of these is the use of so-called unlocking chips, which return the print counter to its original state. The second is to flash the new printing unit shell. In this case too, the counter returns to its original state. The resolution of the printed documentation is 600 x 600, which provides mediocre print quality. However, this feature applies not only to the solution under consideration, but also to other solutions based on the laser printing process. When warming up, this printer spends 20 seconds, on the first page – 10 seconds. Such a printing unit can then output up to 20 A4 pages.

Set of Ports

The presence of 2 communication ports can boast of the Samsung ML-1615. The most important is USB and the backup is LPT. With a budget laser printer, you don’t have to expect additional wired ports or wireless methods of transferring information. The presence of such an additional component increases the final cost of the device, which is unacceptable in this case. Therefore, the owners of such a print node will have to be content with a modest set of two wire interfaces.
