Samsung CLX-3302 Toner Cartridges

Samsung CLX-3302 Printer Review

The Samsung CLX-3302 is a simple multifunction color laser printer designed for the small office or home user. Its output speeds of 18 pages per minute for monochrome and 4 pages per minute for color aren't the fastest in its class, and first page out times are also a bit slow, but it offers a number of features designed to help users save on Samsung CLX-3302 printer toner costs. Its scan and copy features are also very easy to use.

While the CLX-3302 doesn't have an automatic document feeder like other models in its line, this means it is also a bit more compact and more affordable, which might be more important for some buyers. It measures only 14.3x16x11.4 inches, so it is small enough to fit on a desk, without occupying too much space. Automatic duplexing is also missing, though it offers manual duplexing for users who don't mind a little extra work.

The unit comes with a single USB 2.0 port for connecting to a computer, though it also includes a front-mounted USB port for use with flash drives and other storage media. The Scan to function has its own dedicated button on the control panel, and users can scan directly to their flash drive if desired. Professional reviews note that its text quality is mediocre, but good enough for the average office, while graphics and photos are a bit better.

Saving on the cost of toners seems to have been a big part of the unit's design. The Eco mode reduces the amount of Samsung CLX-3302 toner used per page, so users can get more from their Samsung CLX-3302 toner cartridges before they will need replacing. The Easy Eco Driver can also help users remove unwanted ads, images, and more before printing, which also helps them extend the life of Samsung CLX-3302 toner cartridges without reducing the output quality.

For a pretty affordable price tag, the Samsung CLX-3302 can offer personal users excellent printing, copying and scanning at laser quality. While some buyers might prefer an automatic document feeder or duplexing, there is very little missing, and running costs are fairly low.
