4600 Model Shown
A few other features that
are worth mentioning are the document security feature and the group and poster
printing modes. Another one in that category is the N-up printing feature.
When this command is used, you can print multiple pages on a single sheet
of paper. And last but not the least; the ML-4600 has a built in Toner Save
button. When enabled, this feature can increase the toner cartridge’s
life by up to 1000 pages (2500 in standard conditions; 3500 with the Toner
Save activated) Therefore, if you print a lot of documents, this command can
be very useful.
Well, I don’t know
if others agree with me, but I must say that these features are pretty good
for a laser printer that is only worth $232.00 USD.
The Tests…
Well, there wasn’t
much testing to do, but I must say that I was very pleased by the printing
quality of the ML-4600. The toner cartridge was extremely easy to install
due to the fact that you don’t even have to unscrew something to open
up the printer’s hatch; all there is are snaps on each side of the printer.
I got the chance to test it in Win98, Win NT 4.0, and Win XP and I didn’t
even encounter a single problem with it in either of these operating systems.
I played around with resolutions and text formats and I was satisfied with
all of them. The only little downer that I could possibly see in this device
is the fact that, sometimes, when the Toner Save mode was enabled, there would
be a bit too much toner saving, while not really a problem for printint text,
this was mostly visible when printing pictures.
Summation
This
printer is great! I didn’t have any configuration problems or of any
other kind with this device. The printing quality was great and for its value,
the performance was excellent. The ML-4600 is almost flawless; except the
Toner Save incident, there was nothing else that bothered me. Therefore, I
was in the obligation to give it a more then desired 8.5/10 So, do the ML-4600
and ML-4500 stand up to Samsung’s statement? Obviously, the answer is
YES.
