The Samsung CLP 310 Printer Review

by erin on May 27, 2011

The Samsung CLP 310 printer offers much of the advantages of the big laser printing machines in a small compact and light shell. The manufacturers say that it will easily fit on the end of a standard sized desk or on a shelf. This makes it ideal for small offices or home use and, with the choice of a black or white model, it can fit nicely with many office decors.

Lightweight Machine

This is a very lightweight machine, which weighs less than twelve kilograms and is almost noiseless as it operates. The reason it is able to perform as quiet as it does is because of Samsung’s No-Noise technology, which is exclusive to them. This machine is reported to be quiet enough to cause minimal disturbance in a library. This will be very handy for carrying out those large printing jobs without disturbing colleagues sitting nearby.

Compact Size

A key marketing point for the Samsung CLP 310 printer is its compact size and it is clearly a lot smaller than most other laser printers on the market. This makes it a very practical machine that can be attached to a laptop or desktop computer via the USB 2.0 connection. It is designed to work with Mac, Windows Vista and Linux operating systems.

Quick Production

This machine is not compromised by its size and quietness because it can still produce more than fifteen pages per minute for standard pages and over three for color prints. These speeds are not seen as very quick in the laser printing world but for such a compact machine the quality and the speed is more than sufficient.

Duty Cycle

There is a high monthly duty cycle on this machine of more than nineteen thousand pages. A monthly duty cycle is the recommended maximum amount of pages that should be printed each month. Although the monthly cycle duty cannot be judged accurately without taking some other factors into consideration, these figures do compare favorably with other similar laser machines.

Toner Bottles

Some people may be relieved to find that the manufacturers have decided to uses toner bottles in place of the usual cartridges, which can sometimes be difficult to change and install. On average, the black toner bottle will enable over one thousand four hundred and fifty standard pages to be printed. The color bottles, which are cyan, magenta and yellow, will allow more than nine hundred and ninety nine.

Small Businesses

This machine is ideal for small businesses and individuals who would like laser printing quality on a lower budget. It will also be useful for those with little space available. While the printing speed will not be as good as many other machines, it does offer excellent print quality at a fraction of the cost. This is an ideal way to make the transition from Inkjet printers to LaserJet.

Capabilities

In summary, the Samsung CLP 310 printer will be useful for moderate business and personal jobs with toner. It has a modern design, is light and practical, and yet has all the capabilities of a standard laser printing machine. It is designed with basic functions which make it easy to setup and use.
