Outstanding A4 Print Award
Samsung Electronics' printers and solution were recognized for their outstanding quality after a test was conducted by BLI on new printer products released in the first half of 2011.
Three mono laser printers that were released this year for corporate use (ML-6510ND, ML-5510ND, and ML-3710ND) were chosen, in addition to one multifunction mono laser printer for corporate use (SCX-5737FW). The four hardware products received a good rating in categories such as reliability, low price, duplex, and eco mode support.
The ML-6510ND garnered much attention for offering maximum output speed in its class of 62 pages per minute. It was chosen as an "Outstanding A4 Monochrome Departmental Printer". The ML-5510ND, which prints 52 pages per minute, was named an "Outstanding A4 Monochrome Printer for Large Workgroups". Both products offer powerful performance, featuring a 700MHz CPU, 1Gbps network, and 256MB memory. They enable fast printing of large documents.
The ML-3710ND and SCX-5737FW both print 35 pages per minute. The ML-3710ND was chosen as an "Outstanding A4 Monochrome Printer for Small Workgroups", while the SCX-5737FW was named an "Outstanding A4 Monochrome MFP for Small Workgroups". Both products were the world's first to adopt the 600MHz dual core CPU, thus offering fast processing speed.
All four products have applied the ECO button, allowing the user to choose an environment-friendly mode that saves paper and toner. The user can also check the reduction in energy use on the LCD screen.
Energy Efficiency Award
In addition, the ML-3712ND and SCX-5637FR received the "Energy Efficiency Award" for low electric power consumption and eco mode support.
