Samsung ML-2955dw Review: Is it an Award Winner?

BUILD AND DESIGN
Samsung doesn't make any claims about the ML-2955dw being the "smallest" or "most compact", but it must be in the same class as its ultra compact peers with the approximate dimensions of 14 x 8 x 13-inches in non-use and a weigh in at 16 lbs without consumables.

The body is done in white, but not the kind of white that blinds you. It's a more subtle white that blends in to the background, and in fact, if I hadn't been told it was white, I might even call it off-white or a very light gray. No mistaking the color of the side panels, they are definitely gray.

Since the ML-2955dw is a single function monochrome laser, there aren't many frills when it comes to the design. There's the shiny Samsung logo above the single sheet multipurpose tray, a four button control panel and a flip up 150-sheet output bin.

The ML-2955dw offers a 250-sheet standard paper cassette that can hold media ranging from 3 x 5-inches to 8.5 x 14-inches (legal). Users can print double sided with automatic duplexing and the ML-2955dw has a maximum monthly duty cycle of up to 12,000 pages.

Pull open the front panel to reveal the one-piece toner cartridge. The ML-2955dw comes with a standard capacity cartridge yielding approximately 1,500 pages, but customers can purchase a high yield toner replacement with the approximate yield of 2,500 pages.

All connections are found on the back as well as direct access to the paper path. Since we are reviewing the ML-2955dw, we have the option to choose from a Hi-Speed USB 2.0, Ethernet or wireless connection.
