Samsung CLX-6240FX Toner Cartridges

Samsung CLX-6240FX Printer Review

The Samsung CLX-6240FX color laser printer (also known as the CLX-6240) is designed for the small or medium office environment. It has multifunction features and fast print speeds, and can handle practically any task an office would need. It also has some expandability options for the future. If only low-volume printing is needed, look at the HP CM2320 toner printer.

The Samsung CLX-6240FX color laser printer has the ability to print, scan, copy, and fax. It supports Super G3 faxing transmission speeds and duplex faxing. It can handle duplex scanning and printing as well. The unit also has some nice convenience features, such as the ability to print from and scan to USB thumb drives or PictBridge-capable devices. Users can scan to FTP, network, email, or USB thumb drives.

Paper capacity is 250 sheets in the main tray and 100 sheets in the multipurpose tray. The paper capacity can be expanded to a total of 750 sheets, allowing it room to grow in the future. The unit's measurements are 25.6 inches by 18.4 inches by 19.6 inches (HWD), and it weighs 81 pounds. While its footprint is fairly compact, its vertical height could be a problem for some users who have limited space.

Toner costs are fairly low. Canon CLX-6240FX toner cartridges have a capacity of 5,500 pages for black, and 5,000 for each color laser toner cartridge, which is a bit better than the competing LaserJet 2500 toner. The printer toner cartridges are easy to access and replace, and capacities are large enough that they won't need to be replaced too often.

Print quality is excellent, especially for text. Characters are very readable and sharp, even at small font sizes. Graphics and photo quality is above average, and color copies look very sharp and detailed.

Overall, the Canon CLX-6240FX is an excellent multifunction device that will impress users with its solid feature set and convenient bonus features. Users with very tight office spaces may not be able to accommodate its vertical height and should possibly look at the Brother HL-4040 toner printer.
