today I'll be unboxing a product that I had to buy I've needed a printer for a while I don't live at home anymore so I can't use my parents printer and I can only print out so much stuff at work before I get in trouble so I needed just like a value printer I don't believe in inkjet to be honest unless you must print out photos at home I can't think of a good reason to buy an inkjet printer the nozzles dry up if you don't use them and you know a couple months and then you go and replace them I mean you can refill them but that's a pain so I got myself a cheap color laser printer this color laser printer is under $200 it's the Samsung CLP 310 and it is network ready so that means that you don't actually have to plug it directly into a computer you can just plug it into your into your switch or your router okay I actually don't know much about it beyond the fact that it is a cheap color laser printer so what I can probably do once I get it set up is share with you the results in terms of printing I mean I guess we can look at the specs although I'm not a printer expert so it does up to 2400 dpi that's dots per inch it is ultra compact and it operates quietly all of these are very good things for a home use that side is not an English this side appears to be an English okay so it's high speed no it uses high speed USB 2.0 rather it's not high speed at all it does up to 17 pages per minute in black 4 pages per minute in color that's letter size and wow that's all it really says it ok well since we're not really going to get any more information about this printer from the box why don't we open it up the reason I like lasers because compared to ink toner is well similar in price and compared to ink toner lasts a lot longer so yeah you're not gonna get this printer for free with your you know digital camera that you buy or whatever you do actually have to pay for a printer but the usable lifespan of it will be much much longer because you'll probably get through years with maybe one or two toner refill cisu mning you don't do a ton of printing at home alright included cables we have we're just going to sort of do this because it's easier one power cable so that's your standard computer power cable okay that was it and then we have a little thing in French actually has no english on it okay so something about registering your products I can read French okay then we have a Quick Start Guide that'll be useful because I will want to get started quickly and I have a box open so naturally there are investigators who would like to see what's in the box okay stop before returning this product to the store please contact support okay you know what other documentation there is a disc with the driver on it don't install that download the latest from the Samsung website here is a random piece of foam okay so let's go ahead and flip this right over and have a look at the printer itself you know what's a really I'd like to see on the outside of printer boxes how many pages per part Twitter cartridges I think that would be a good thing to know because I would actually buy like a different printer I buy one printer over and other ones based on more more pages with one cartridge of toner so this printer actually uses four separate argent cartridges it uses one for black one for yellow one for blue and one for pink I think it's magenta cyan and something else it fails me like I said I'm more of a motherboard and RAM and CPU expert than a printer expert I just kind of press the button and I hope that something comes out of it that's the extent of what I know ah the reason I went with a Samsung printer I don't know if I mentioned this already but this is something that I did have to buy so many of my unboxings are not products that I paid my own hard-earned dollars but this is one of them is because I do use a samsung black and white one at work and it gets an m/l 1610 it's been incredibly reliable I've done a ridiculous amount of printing on it and I've never actually replaced the cartridge so any here we find I guess if you need to unjam something you would lift this up okay so that's where the paper comes out presumably there you have a little flap so the paper can come out on there in here we will find all of our toner cartridges so you can see that the black one is clearly larger than the colored ones because they're gonna assume that you do a lot more black printing than color printing they have a little instructional thing on how to replace your cartridges right here and let's see if we can figure it out let me click okay so you pull on it that was easy okay so there's the black toner cartridge remember that when you buy a laser printer or an inkjet printer they usually come with starter cartridges so um yeah they're usually not actually falling well what's this Oh weird so this has like some yellow gunk in it I have no idea what that's for so I'm gonna actually have to read the user manual if you can tell me what this is for then please do anyway I'm gonna go ahead and put my toner cartridge back in alright let's see if we can find some other features of this here network so this appears to be the paper loading tray there we go so we load in our a four-letter paper it looks like it takes a variety of different sizes depending how you want to adjust it and then you just go ahead pulled it over and tuck that in there easily there we go all right and wow what is this I don't know okay well here's more access to the inside of guts of the printer just in case you need it here's our interfaces so there's your power button power input ten hundred Ethernet like you need gigabit on a printer and then you've got a USB B connector for data if you do want to hook it up directly to your computer here you have that button that's basically the something went wrong but I fixed it button so if you run out of paper it'll probably flash some kind of light you put in more paper press the button and it should resume printing if it works like my printer at work does instead oh here it has on lift handle because it is quite heavy so if you are going to lift this printer you should lift it by the lift handle so I'm gonna go install it now thank you for watching my unboxing of the CLP 310 color 310 n rather color laser printer from Samsung
