The color CIS scanner has a 4,800 x 4,800 dpi maximum enhanced scan resolution (600 dpi optical) and has a 24-bit color depth and a 256-level grayscale. The scanner supports the TWAIN standard and delivers scan times of about 27 seconds (line art).

Both USB and parallel ports are provided, and a 10,000-page maximum duty cycle is able to handle light-to-medium use environments. The 110 to 240 VAC 50/60 Hz power supply consumes about 300 watts, while noise levels are less than 49 dB during normal operation.

The requirements? Have to be small enough for me to carry around, inexpensive cost-per-page and affordable. This product fits the bill and it even adds printing and scanning capability as a bonus!
The print quality is surprisingly crisp for both text and image, off-the-glass copy is excellent and the scanner performs very well. The scan function didn't work when I connect this printer through parallel port (bi-directional issue?), but all taken care off when I switch to USB. Also notice the paper tray door is kind of hard to open. I suggest using their provided software to get the most out of this printer! Overall I highly recommend this for people whom looking to have a multifunction printer with small space and budget that print a lot of text or B/W document and doesn't need color capability. 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Samsung SCX-4100 Laser Multifunction (Office Product) I've had this printer for a couple of months. For the most part it has been a positive experience. Print quality is very good. Speed is excellent. The copier function works very well. (I have a different scanner so I don't use that function by itself.)
The major problem I've had (and it may be a fatal flaw) is that when paper gets jammed in the fuser area it can be very difficult to remove. Expect to burn your fingers, and perhaps need a screw driver or some other implement to pry out the stuck page which has been folded up like an accordian inside the fuser. A simple release mechanism could have avoided this problem, but if there is one I can't find it (and it's not in the documentation). In two months of relatively light use I've had two instances where I thought I might have to send the machine in for service due to this problem. Each time I managed to clear it with a little persistence. In addition, the single sheet paper loader on the front...Read more 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful: By Earl Mutel "eemdz" (Sydney AUS) - See all my reviews This review is from: Samsung SCX-4100 Laser Multifunction (Office Product) Samsung SCX-4100 is a low end multifuntion laser printer. I'll go through the pros and cons first.
Pros: - Price of SCX-4100 is quite attractive. - Small and compact for a multifunction laser printer. - Supports PC, UNIX and Mac* (Samsung removed the Mac driver from the web site, but you can still find it on the Internet). Cons: - Default print setting tends to produce a print out that's too light. Setting the printer's advanced printing option to print darker helps. - The photocopy option has the same issue (Dark option is actually more like a Normal). - You need to choose the photocopy mode properly to get a reasonable photocopy (Text, Text/Photo, Photo). - Scanning in color is quite slow (2X slower) compared to other multifunction laser printers. - The toner comes with the package is an introductory toner (basically 1/3 of the standard toner) --> cost cutting - USB 1.0 only (although given the slowness...Read more |
