Samsung assigns each newly developed product an eco-rating (Eco-Product, Good Eco-Product, or Premium Eco-Product) based on strict internal evaluation criteria. In order to be considered a Good Eco-Product, products must exceed basic industry requirements, exhibit differentiating eco-friendly features and satisfy global eco-mark standards.

Focused on achieving low-carbon economic growth, Samsung has laid out four core green management objectives as part of its “Eco-Management 2013” plan. The objectives include:

• reducing greenhouse gas emissions normalized by sales from manufacturing facilities by 50 percent and cutting total indirect greenhouse gas emissions from all products by 84 million tons over a five year period through 2013;
• ensuring 100 percent of Samsung’s products are eco-friendly and exceed global eco-mark standards;
• investing 5.4 trillion Korean won in various eco-management initiatives;
• and enhancing green partnerships with suppliers and partners.

Samsung’s printing solutions are one example of the company’s commitment to green technology, and R&D across its product lines. The ML-1660 offers users an intuitive printing experience by incorporating a number of easy to use one-touch features into the products’ design. The compact printers also include environmentally-friendly features making them ideal for personal, home office and small office users.

In today’s green office environment, there’s simply no room for printers which require high levels of energy to operate. The Samsung ML-1660 features an easy-to-reach power button right on the front panel, so users can switch to an energy-saving standby mode at the push of a button. The soft power button in the front panel makes it much easier to switch on and off the machine, which can help avoid unnecessary energy consumption. This can help save as much as 9.55 watts per hour. Over a year, this equates to the same amount of energy as leaving a light on for over 18 days.

In addition, the ML-1660 is dispatched with minimizsed packaging to reduce the impact of the device on the environment. Besides reduced packaging size, its air-cushioned consumable packaging significantly reduces negative environmental impact compared to the old-fashioned Styrofoam packaging.

The printers are also compatible with Samsung’s AnyWeb Print software. This allows users to select, drag and drop specific content from web pages into a new blank page on their PC screen, which they can then save or print. The AnyWeb Print software allows users to print just the information they really need, rather than printing several whole web pages. This means users are not wasting time or resources such as paper and toner.

The ML-1660’s advanced intuitive features are seamlessly integrated into the devices’ design. Ideal for the smallest of working environments, the new printer is even more compact than previous Samsung models, making them the smallest in the market. It also features a streamlined design and a stylish, glossy, chic black finish. A cover on the output tray contributes to the streamlined look and helps to keep the noise level down, avoiding unnecessary distraction in the home or work office.

In addition, Samsung has introduced a number of easy to use ‘one-touch’ features with the new ML-1660 printer. The Samsung Print Screen button provides consumers with a quick and easy way to print exactly what they see on their PC screen at the touch of a button.

The black toner cartridges that supply these printers deliver a 1,500-page yield and provide the same high standard of quality and reliability to be expected from Samsung original printing supplies. With print speeds of up to 16 pages-per-minute (ppm) and a first page out time of less than 8.5 seconds, the ML-1660 offers a high-quality and robust printer for personal users with regular printing needs, such as professionals and students.
