Features
Samsung has already started making claims that ML-6510ND is the fastest laser printer in the world with a speed of 62 pages per minute. The printer looks huge and is more than 0.5m in height and weighs a whopping 35kg. This is not the printer which you can move on your own. Samsung has brought in another innovation by giving a light color to this printer. The output tray set is big enough for more than 100 pages of documents and the input tray can take around 520 sheets which is more than a full ream. The multipurpose tray can accommodate 100 sheets. The control panel is slightly different than other mono lasers. It is a 4 line LCD panel with back light and there is also a number pad to key in passwords in case you are printing securely.
The printer switches to duplex mode when you press a button called âEcoâ. It will now print 2 pages per sheet. There are sockets at the back for Ethernet and USB connections. The optional adapter makes the printer wireless.
Performance
Many have questioned whether Samsung ML-6510ND can really print at 62ppm? To tell you the truth, it doesnât but it can still be regarded as the fastest printer in the market. Various paper tests have proved that it can print at 39 ppm but the claim of 62ppm is a long shot. The Duplex printing is comparatively quicker @ 27ppm.
The print quality is very good with excellent formation of grayscale graphics. There are simply no signs of banding. The only glitch is that as the print speed rises, the mechanical noise from the paper feed mechanism also rises. The machine is, in fact, noisier than others in the same category. The cartridges have very high yields and the cost per page is really low at 1.6p. The Eco button will help you to save more.
