Setting up a wireless network. Design and Specifications

Getting started

Acquaintance with your network type

As a rule, only one connection can be installed between the computer and the printer.

	Infrastructure mode Such a system is mainly used at home and in small offices. In this mode, communication with wireless device Provided with the access point.
	Ad-Hoc mode In this mode, the access point is not used. The computer interacts with a wireless device directly.

Wireless networks require more serious security, so at the first installation of the access point to work on the network, a network name (SSID) is created, the type of protection used and network password. Before continuing the installation of the printer, ask the network administrator to specify these parameters.

Introduction to the methods of configuring a wireless network.

Wireless network can be configured on the device itself or through a computer. Select the setup method in the table below.

Using the WPS button

If your device and access point (or wireless router) support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup ™), you can easily configure network settings by pressing the button on the printer's control panel. It does not need to use a computer.

If you want to use a wireless network in infrastructure mode, make sure that the network cable is disconnected from the device. The way to connect to the access point or wireless router (using the WPS button (PBC) or the PIN input on the computer) depends on the access point used (or wireless router). See User Guide for Access Point or Wireless Router. When setting up wireless network Using the WPS button, security settings may vary. To prevent this, block the ability to change current parameters Wireless security for WPS. The parameter name may differ depending on the type of access point (wireless router).

Preparation

Make sure that the access point or wireless router supports WI-FI PROTECTED SETUP ™.

Make sure the device supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup ™).

Make sure the computer is connected to the network (only if you need a PIN code).

Select the type of connection

There are two methods for connecting the device to a wireless network using the (WPS) button on the control panel.

Method Settings by pressing the button (PBC) Allows you to connect the device to a wireless network by pressing the button (WPS) on the device control panel, as well as the WPS buttons (PBC) at the access point (wireless router) with Wi-Fi Protected Setup ™ (WPS) support, respectively.

Method using pERSONAL Identification Code (PIN) Allows you to connect to a wireless network by entering the provided PIN code on the access point (wireless router) with WI-FI PROTECTED SETUP ™).

By default, the device uses mode settings by pressing the button (PBC) It is recommended for a conventional wireless network environment.

Samsung is one of the largest corporations producing various products for consumers. But if, for example, in the area computer memory This company is among recognized leaders both in development and in production, the direction of printing devices is just beginning to develop. More recently, Samsung has released a series of compact laser printers for home use. New models are distinguished by small size, stylish design and opportunity to work with mobile phones directly. Compact laser printers are among the most attractive products for end users. Usually they are printed on them every day, so the main requirement for the home apparatus is the minimum area occupied by it on the desktop, especially in the assembled state. Little laser printers began to produce a long time ago, but their cost was often the same as in large-sized devices. Now, with the advent of new technologies, as well as a decrease in production cost, small-sized printers have become much cheaper. In this article, we will look at one of these models - Samsung ML-2165W.

Design and Specifications

The design of the model is made in bright colors, which is typically for most printers. Inserting from gray plastic sets the overall design style. With the housing dimensions folded, 178 × 331 × 215 mm, and the total weight of the model is 4 kg. Tray for prints that leave the printer face down, is in the top of the case. It is designed for 100 sheets of standard A4 format (Letter). The tray is closed with a special lid, which comes complete with the device and serves to protect against dust. A miniature control panel is located on the right of the tray. It contains two buttons (WPS and the on / off button) and two light indicators, one of which lights up in the absence of paper in the feed tray, and the other displays current state Devices. The WPS button has a built-in indicator. The paper feed tray is located in front of the printer. It also closes with a lid, which simultaneously serves as a paper stand. In the paper feed tray there is a mechanical slider to secure paper of various formats. The feed tray is designed for 150 sheets of A4 format. The side walls of the printer are painted into light gray and have a ribbed surface, so that the printer is easy to hold when carrying. The rear panel of the printer is a USB connector to connect the printer to a computer and a power cable connector. Both cables are supplied with the printer.

Access to the printer cartridge is carried out by folding the upper cover of the device. The cartridge is easily removed and installed in place. Since this model has no rear folding lid (duplex printing is possible only in manual mode), all the effects of paper jams are eliminated by selecting the cartridge and further manipulations with a sheet in the depths of the printer. This model is set by the MLT-D101S cartridge, which is suitable for most similar SAMSUNG printer models. The starting cartridge MLT-D101S, which is equipped with a printer when selling, is designed to print 700 sheets of A4 format with a 5% filling of the sheet. A full-fledged cartridge is designed to twice large quantity Pages - 1500 sheets A4. The estimated cost of the cartridge is about $ 100. The printer supports various media formats: A4, A5, Letter, Legal, Executive, Folio, Oficio, ISO B5, JIS B5, Envelopes (MONARCH, COM10, DL, C5), as well as a custom format from 76 × 127 to 216 × 356 mm.

Based on the declared specifications, sAMSUNG printer ML-2165W allows you to print on A4 paper at a speed of up to 20 ppm in monochrome mode. Print resolution during installation to the maximum quality is 1200 × 1200 DPI. The printer uses his own page description language - Samsung Printer LangaGe, but the PCL driver is supplied with the device. The claimed time of the first page is 8.5 s. As a controller of the printer applies cPU with a clock frequency of 300 MHz and rAM Volume of 32 MB without the ability to expand. The printer connects to a computer over a widespread USB interface, which is compatible with USB 2.0 specification. However, the most interesting interface in this printer is a wireless module. SAMSUNG ML-2165W is installed in the Samsung ML-2165W printer wireless adapter2.4 GHz frequency and compatible with 802.11n specification. This allows you to connect the printer to the home access point or router. As a result, the printer becomes available to all router users without additional network cables or settings. general access on the computer. Moreover, this model gives the user another interesting function - Wi-Fi Direct, providing direct printing on a printer from a phone, tablet or other device under android management. Since that new feature, We will tell about it in more detail, as well as touch the network connections of this model.

Complete with the Samsung ML-2165W printer comes installation diskwho is needed to organize a wireless network. Of course, the WPS feature that allows you to connect the printer to the wireless router on the fly, in this case it will be very useful. It eliminates the user from the need to install the network parameters of the wireless module of the printer using a computer. To connect to the router, you must first install a special software From the supplied disc, and then in one of the options to select using the WPS Button. After that, you need to hold the WPS button on the printer for 2-4 s, and then click on the WPS button on the router. If the WPS function is missing on the router or for some reason, it did not work, in the installation utility you can manually select necessary network And manually set its parameters. After configuring the wireless network, the user will be given to the choice of parameters for wi-Fi technology Direct. The parameters of this feature should specify the name of the future AD HOC-network and its password. After completing the installation wizard, any device on the operating room android system Can connect to this network directly, without using a router.

To start printing with mobile deviceneed to install special appendix Samsung in Android Market. - SAMSUNG MOBILEPRINT (Fig. 1). After installing the application and connecting to the wireless network of the printer in the print settings in this application, you must select a printer for printing (Fig. 2). Usually the user will be available to the same printer, but using various data transfer protocols. In this case, any of them can be applied, since it does not affect the print.

After connecting the printer to sAMSUNG program MobilePrint user becomes available print settings (Fig. 3). Here, in fact, all the settings of this program necessary for direct printing from the phone. Now in the preview menu, the user can see the connected printer at the bottom (Fig. 4) and immediately send an image or text to print.

MobilePrint supports many modern Samsung printed devices, and their list is periodically updated. Even the remote document scanning mode is supported (for printing devices with scanning function), which, however, is not particularly relevant today - you can simply take a picture of the document. MobilePrint technology - a new milestone in home printing: now the user is getting rid of the need to first carry the document or image to the computer, that is, to the intermediate link, and then print it on the printer.

The rest of the printer is the same as other devices. The only difference is its own software sAMSUNG provision Universal Print Driver (Fig. 5), which allows you to connect several Samsung printers and activate them as needed.

Testing

To assess the capabilities of this model, we conducted a small testing of its main characteristics - speed and quality printing. To measure the print speed, we used a specially prepared DOC file of the A4 format and a volume of 28 pages containing text and graphic inserts. Three copies of this document were sent to print, and at this time the task execution time was measured. Sending a printing document was carried out from a computer connected to a USB cable printer. At the same time, the measurement stopped from the moment the first page was released and completed after one minute. The test started at two print modes: maximum quality and maximum speed. In the maximum quality mode, the speed in this test was 15 ppm, and in mode maximum performance - 21 ppm. Thus, the average print speed is approximately 18 ppm, which is a good indicator for a compact device.

Testing print quality has shown good reproduction of tones throughout the graduation range, including saturated colors and deep shadows. All the inscriptions of the small bowl on test print test are well read, if you use a magnifying glass; Vector figures with a thickness of 0.1 PT lines are played without contour breaks. Also very qualitatively, the dies of the large square are imprinted on test prints, but some non-uniformity of the non-other playback is present, since it is characteristic of the overwhelming majority of electrophotographic devices.

To determine the resolution of the printer, several templates are printed, which are a set of lines and circles. Lines sets consist of parallel straight lines 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 pixels. The size of the circle lines is 1, 2, 3 and 4 pixels. The templates differ from each other only by the resolution that the following values \u200b\u200bcan have: 1000, 1200 and 1400 dpi.

During the test, the test found that the actual resolution issued by this model at the output lies between 1200 to 1,400 points per inch on one of the parties, which is even somewhat higher than the stated indicators. With a higher resolution, some lines became fuzzy.

conclusions

The Samsung ML-2165W printer is an excellent solution for both home and office applications. Compactness and support for wireless communication allow you to install this model anywhere in an apartment or office. High speed indicators, as well as good print quality of monochrome documents, highlight this model from a number of other printers. Modern stylish design will not leave the user indifferent, and the low cost of the model is 3.6 thousand rubles. - Make it even more attractive.

If you think about an inexpensive, but compact laser printer, then sAMSUNG model ML-2165W is almost perfect for your requirements. The average price for this monochrome laser printer hesitates within $ 150 dollars. Printer dimensions - width 32 cm, depth 21 cm, height 17 cm. It will fit perfectly into any working area. But this printer has one significant disadvantage - the cost of printing. One printed text page will cost almost one and a half rubles, and this is unacceptable for the laser printer, so it is used only in cases where it is necessary to print in small volumes.

The printer setting process should not cause problems because the user must be stuck in the power cord into the outlet, put the output tray, and click the WPS button if you plan to connect the printer by Wi-Fi (yes, so interesting technical peculiarity present). This setting is appropriate if you have a WPS-compatible router, if there is no absence, you will have to use the USB cable and disk with step by step instructions. Using the "Print" button, you can learn about the status of the printer, to do this, hold the button for 15 seconds and get a printed report.

Another disadvantage of the ML-2165W printer is the lack of configuration of bilateral printing, it cannot be configured even on the basis of wt. If this option is critical, then it is worth paying your attention to any more condatory representative of office printing. The paper tray in the ML-2165W printer is designed for 150 sheets, the output tray holds no more than 100 pcs. Sheets.
The Samsung ML-2165W printer is equipped with a cartridge, which is enough for a maximum of 700 printed text pages, after which you can pay for refilling the cartridge or buy a new cartridge, approximately 65 US dollars, is enough for printing of 1.5 thousand text pages. If you compare with HP Cartridge printers, ML-2165W is less capacious. Printer performance about 11.6 pages per minute, we can say that the printer works slowly. The first page will be printed for about 10 seconds, then the printer will enter the standard print speed.

As you could have noticed themselves, the printer is not very cheap- in spite of low starting cost, it is expensive in further use. It pleases the fact that the quality of the text of the text is excellent. The font on paper is clear and sharp. What cannot be said about printing images, any graphic printouts are filled with fuzzy and grainy, it will not even help solve this problem in improved printing in the printer settings.

From the above, we can conclude, the printer is suitable for the office, where documents are not so often required or in addition to an existing color printer. Making this printer is important inappropriate, because the interchangeable accessories are expensive to it, the print speed is not very fast, there is no double-sided print.

What should be a printer for small or home office? Of course, affordable. It is desirable to shock, quiet and compact. And if it is still a function of which useful to add ... I thought in Samsung and added Samsung ML-2165 to its laser printer, the Wi-Fi wireless module. Actually, the hero of our today's review appeared on the hero - the Samsung ML-2165W printer. A clear example of how inexpensively can be easily diversified the lineup Print devices.

Ergonomics

Pleasant outlines with smoothed corners and the bright "appearance" of this model will come to buyers to taste: the printer's crumb can be imperceptibly installed even on the windowsill, if with free space is completely tight. A printer will fit and on a small tube, a corner of the table. Especially modest samsung ml-2165w dimensions should like home users. Especially this device, equipped with Wi-Fi module, no need to stand next to the computer, the printer can be placed anywhere at home, even in the next room. Agree, this feature is very pleasant. If you work with a PC in a residential room, you can protect yourself and the printer surrounding from the noise. Or, for example, working colleagues will not constantly resort to prints to you in the office, if you place the printer "behind the wall" in the corridor. At the same time, in a small office or at home, you will not have to blow the walls for interface cables and engage in other "small repair". In general, what is there to speak, Wi-Fi in the printer is in demand, the necessary and useful. By the way, the issue price is not so high: Samsung ML-2165W is just 300 UAH. It is more expensive than a similar model without a wireless module, which in the end is approximately 1100 UAH.

The printer control panel is easy to limit: two buttons and two LED indicators. A glowing green status indicator speaks of the normal operation of the device, and when the second diode lights up, it will already be alarmed about the delay during the printing process: the absence of paper in a tray, paper jam, the need to quickly replace the cartridge. Now about the buttons. One of them naturally includes a device. But the second, with the arrows, highlighted by a bright blue light, is responsible for the automatic connection of the printer to the local Wi-Fi network. Of course, this is a WPS technology by pressing this button and similar to the router, the user eliminates the trouble with manual settings Network connection. Especially since otherwise you can carry out such settings, only after connecting the printer to the computer USB cable. And this is not at all a network connection. Do not think, however, that WPS setup buttons are limited. All computers in the network with which you want to print should be installed the printer driver. They can be found on the attached disk or download from the Internet. SAMSUNG developer's honor, at the driver level, a very wide range of different computer operating systemsSee the table at the end.

Practical use

It all started with a simple - loading of paper in the tray: It was not possible to find the usual stop limiting the paper "in length" (usually disregard (incorrect) use of this UPRA leads to the impossibility of supplying paper or jamming at the entrance). Looking inside the printer across the discovery of the tray, it turned out that the design of the feed node is radically different from the classic scheme with half aols, the brake platform and the lifting pad: the design of two feed rollers, obviously, does not need the above-mentioned emphasis, as well as the absence of a lifting platform must definitely reduce Noise when printing.

The printer did not equip the cardder or PictBridge function. This is understandable, typing digital photos on a monochrome laser printer are unlikely to even the most erect supporters of "laser quality". But the device has another, more important, modern and essentially a unique opportunity: Easy Mobile Print - support for direct printing from smartphones and android-based tablets. To configure and use this feature, you need to do only 3 steps: visit Android Market, download and donate on your mobile device printing and ... Print Selecting the Samsung printer / MFP from the list of devices available in the wireless environment. By the way, what about the stated print speed of up to 20 pages per minute? In principle, using the prefix "before", Samsung was not very sinned against the truth. So, the printing of one sheet takes 12-13 seconds from the printer, about 30 seconds leave the printout of 5 test pages, and 20 pages appear in the receiving tray only a minute later with a quarter. We emphasize, we are talking about printing speed from a computer, not a mobile device. In general, this is a good speed indicators for the budget laser printer, so you cannot reproach Samsung ML-2165W in slowness.

The quality of printed documents without conscience can be called good. Clear text, presentable infographics with good transitions of grayscale gradation. However, given the fact that the printer is intended for home offices, in which there is usually a large article costs for IT - maintenance, we first embarrassed the manufacturer's thrust to prevent refueling by installing a chip on the cartridge, but in the process printing process we were pleasantly surprised - availability Chip on the cartridge blocks the printer. The printer continues to print after reaching the stated cartridge resource simply once mentioning the message that "it's worth replacing the cartridge" ... so there is no need to reflash the printer / replace the chip - you just need to fix the toner cartridge, and you can continue to work!
