The Samsung ML-1710 is a compact monochrome laser printer designed for both home and small office environments, delivering reliable performance and high-quality prints. Launched as part of Samsung's innovative ML series, this printer boasts a range of features that cater to the needs of users seeking efficiency and convenience.

One of the primary characteristics of the ML-1710 is its impressive print speed. It can produce up to 20 pages per minute, allowing users to handle large print jobs without long wait times.
