Samsung Xpress SL-M2020W Laser Printer Drivers and Software

The Samsung Xpress SL-M2020W mono laser printer is best suited for users with simple printing needs. This monochrome printer represents economy and productivity, not creative performance or innovative design.

However, the Samsung Xpress SL-M2020W is much easier to set up than many other printers and has an impressive list of features, including Wi-Fi connectivity and the ability to print from iOS and Android mobile devices (including NFC compatibility) for the latter).

Better Than Just in a Small Package

The printer itself is very compact and works well in tight spaces like the corner of a desk or an office. The dimensions are 8.5 x 13.1 inches and it is only 7 inches tall (that’s 21.5 x 33.2 x 17.8 cm), making it bookshelf friendly. The power cord that comes with the printer is quite long, so you can also hold it on the floor so you can’t see it.

That might be a good idea, since this isn’t a printer that’s spent a lot of time in the design lab – this little guy looks exactly like what people imagine in their heads when they hear the word ” printer .”

Connecting a printer to a wireless network can be tricky, but the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button on the top of the printer really helps move the process along. If you also have one on your router, you can hit both of them in sequence and they will do the rest of the heavy lifting.

Regardless of which method you use, automatic or manual, the printer can easily handle multiple connections from different sources, and the software has a helpful job queue to display your outgoing prints.

The 150-sheet input tray delivers the paper and can handle a variety of media types including all standard sizes, cardstock, recycled, labels, envelopes and more. The 150-sheet capacity is average for this price. However, if you have more than three people printing on the device at the same time, you may find yourself refilling the supply quite frequently. I’m also not surprised that there is no bypass compartment even at this price. So just stick to the paper types listed and everything will be fine.

If you’re feeling particularly green, you can set the option to print on both sides of the paper. However, you must insert it manually as its small size precludes an autoduplexer.

Performance

Samsung tops this printer’s speed at 21 pages per minute, which meets our lab tests for printing text documents. The quality of the toner cartridge also meets Samsung’s positive standards. However, if you select the economical printing option, some degradation in print quality is to be expected. I recommend the highest quality setting for presentation handouts, resumes, and important files, but the Eco Print option is perfectly acceptable for most emails and other types of text pages.

Conclusion

If you don’t need color output or the additional scanning and copying capabilities of larger and more expensive all-in-ones, the Samsung Xpress SL -M2020W offers a capable laser printer in a compact package with an impressive range of advanced features for an unbeatably low price .
