With the rapid development of technology, the use of computers is increasing steadily. In line with this increase, the need for workgroup printers is also increasing. Samsung understands this and released the Samsung ProXpress SL-M3870. This machine provides the functions of a printer, scanner, copier, and even a fax machine in just one device. Using the mono laser printing method, this machine is able to produce up to 80,000 impressions in a month. The first printout time of this machine is quite remarkable, with 6.5 seconds only.
Uses around 700 watts of power during operation, 10 watts during standby mode, and 1.1 watts during sleep mode. It offers a notable printing speed of 38 pages per minute. Its maximum resolution, however, is pretty average, with 1200 x 1200 dpi, similar to most laser printers on the market. You can print on both sides of the paper automatically with this machine, thanks to its auto duplex feature.
It is compatible with Windows (XP or latest). It produces around 58 dB noise level, which is considerably noisy for a laser printer. This machine is equipped with both USB and LAN to ensure its accessibility to multiple devices remotely. Overall, this machine is really recommended for office needs.
