The Samsung ML-1630 is a monochrome laser printer designed for the home or small office user.  It has good print quality and fast speed at a very affordable price.  It is limited by small capacities.

 The Samsung ML-1630 has a very unique design for a laser printer.  It is much flatter than most, with a flat black look instead of the typical beige or gray.  The printer measures 4.8 inches by 13.1 inches by 14.8 inches (HWD) and weighs only 14.1 pounds.  Its compact size makes it a very appealing choice for a home user, where space is often limited.  Its input and output trays are all located on the front of the unit as well, allowing it to take up very little vertical space.  In order to achieve its compact size, however, the ML-1630 has limited capacities.  Its input paper capacity is only 100 sheets in a single tray, and the output tray can hold only 30 pages.  Toner capacity is only 2,000 pages.  These capacities will likely be enough for a single user who only does low-volume printing, but it limits its appeal for even a small office.

 The printer connects by either USB or parallel port.  It does not include an ethernet port, but networking the ML-1630 would be difficult with its limited capacities anyway.  For just a little more money, competing products offer a few more features, such as networking and duplexing, and also have more capacity and better speeds.

 Print quality is very good.  Text is extremely sharp, and graphics quality is on par with its competition.  The main strength of the ML-1630 is its affordable price and its sharp-looking design, but users will have to decide if its capacity is enough for the long run.

 Overall, the Samsung ML-1630 offers good quality and speed in an attractive design.  Its affordable price will be appealing to personal users on a budget, but even a very small office will probably need more capacity.
