Samsung announced two monochrome laser printers for small or home offices with faster speeds, sleek design and enhanced capabilities. The multifunction, wireless SCX-3405FW and wireless ML-2165W printers feature a more economical and eco-conscious toner system, faster print speeds and a smaller footprint, perfect for printing boarding passes, bank statements or expense reports and proposals at home or in the office.
Both the SCX-3405FW and ML-2165W are equipped for quick and quality printing, which means more time to print and less time to wait. Both printers have a 10,000-page monthly duty cycle, print speeds of up to 21 pages per minute, and a first print out time of less than 8.5 seconds. The SCX-3405FW provides all-in-one functionality with print, copy, scan, and fax, along with an automatic document feeder.
In addition, the models come with wireless ability, allowing for less cable clutter and providing a simple solution for connecting multiple computers to the printers. Both models feature a one-touch WPS button, which allows users to easily and securely connect to their existing wireless networks without the need to configure advanced settings.
As an added benefit, both models are compatible with Samsung's Mobile Print App, available on the Android, iOS, and Windows Phone 7 operating systems. The app allows users to print from their mobile device to any Samsung Printer, as well as scan from any MFP, on the same wireless network as the mobile device. Samsung's Mobile Print App supports standard documents such as jpegs and PDFs, as well as Microsoft Office documents such as Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. This is perfect for quick printing when traveling for business, working remotely, or visiting with friends and family.
ML-2165W
With compact footprints (SCX-3405FW — 15.8″ W x 11.5″ D x 11.7″ H/ML-2165W — 13.0″ W x 8.5″ D x 7.0″ H), the SCX-3405FW and the ML-2165W are about the size of a toaster oven, which conveniently fit on the home bookshelf or home office desk.
Built to create less overall noise and a quieter work environment, both printers have sound levels that are less than 50 decibels (about the sound of a normal conversation) while printing. With sleek and clean designs on the SCX-3405FW and the ML-2165W, the printers seamlessly blend into the home and small office.
Samsung's latest printers are equipped with a 1,500-page all-in-one (AIO) toner cartridge. This helps reduce the number of times users need to replace the cartridge and makes them simple to change, without the mess.
For toner savings and reduced paper consumption, the SCX-3405FW comes with a one-touch ECO button that allows the user to customize output to save toner and paper.
As part of Samsung's commitment to the environment, both models come with Samsung's S.T.A.R. Program, a free service that recycles empty cartridges into their major usable component materials and then reuses for other products. Single and bulk returns are available.
