Manual of product ML-3712ND
Editorial note
The Samsung ML-3712ND printer stands out for its solid performance, offering an impressive printing speed of 35 pages per minute and a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI. These features make it an ideal choice for dynamic work environments, where efficiency and document clarity are essential. Additionally, the built-in duplex printing functionality helps optimize paper usage, contributing to a more economical and eco-friendly approach. However, some drawbacks may limit its appeal. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity restricts wireless printing options, which can be a disadvantage for users wanting to print from multiple devices. Furthermore, limited compatibility with certain operating systems, particularly the lack of support for recent versions of Mac, could pose issues for some users. The printer does not offer color printing options, making it less suitable for varied needs, especially for creative or professional documents. Moreover, its weight of nearly 10 kg may complicate portability. In terms of user experience, the Samsung ML-3712ND receives a satisfactory score of 75, largely due to its duplex printing feature and printing speed. However, the internal memory of 128 MB may impose limits in very active work environments, which is reflected in a performance score of 80. Regarding connectivity, the score is 60, highlighting the importance of Ethernet/LAN connectivity, but also the limitations due to the absence of Wi-Fi. With a usability score of 70, the printer is easy to use with its maximum paper capacity of 770 sheets, but its weight may pose a challenge for those seeking a mobile solution. Finally, the value for money is rated satisfactory with a score of 78, although the lack of color printing may restrict its appeal for some users.Score details
