Physically, Samsung ML-2851ND is not impressive; in fact, forgettable is how some would describe Samsung if physical features are the issues to dwell on. The machine is plain and square with a single power on button, an LCD as power indicator and another LCD for print status. Two trays are available one for single sheet feed and another to hold 250 sheet feeds. Samsung is really quite basic when it comes to laser printer functions and its added feature, the built-in duplexer, gives it the much needed lift to make it one of the well received Samsung laser printers.

This Samsung printer can be connected to a PC using a USB 2.0 cable. Like most of the Samsung laser printers, you can easily install the driver in a host computer. By using an Ethernet cable, you can connect from the printer to the router and add two more computers to network with the host computer. If you are knowledgeable in configuring set ups, networking by way of wireless router is possible although this particular aspect is not received well by the more demanding sector of users.

Adjustments for resolutions are provided in the driver options along with other requirements such as layout, watermark, and overlay including duplexer functions. As a bonus, shipment comes with a standard toner cartridge that can produce 2,000 pages.

You can find good technical support via one-year warranty and toll-free phone lines for technical assistance. You can find comprehensive manual guides, FAQ and other downloadable items like drivers and firmware updates.

Clearly, this Samsung ML-2851ND is not a let down to represent the many Samsung laser printers offered by the company for small to medium scale businesses.
