Samsung SCX-3200 Toner Cartridges

Samsung SCX-3200 Printer Review

The Samsung SCX-3200 has an impressive design, as a multifunction laser printer that is only a little larger than many similar inkjet models. It can print up to 17 pages per minute, with a first page out time of less than 8.5 seconds, and its 1200 dpi engine produces great results. Best of all, eco-friendly features can help conserve Samsung SCX-3200 printer toner and paper usage.

The SCX-3200 can provide copying, scanning, and printing functions, though it does lack traditional faxing. It doesn't handle automatic duplexing, though manual duplexing is available if the user is willing to take the time to re-feed pages. The input paper capacity is limited to 150 sheets, and the output tray holds only 50 sheets.

There are quite a few useful button included on the control panel. The Print Screen button will print the current contents of the computer screen, with no need to format or navigate through confusing menus. The Eco button can combine two pages into one, reducing paper usage and reducing the amount of Samsung SCX-3200 toner used for each page. The AnyWeb Print Software included with the machine can also help users drag and drop images and text to create their own custom layout, printing only the information they need.

The unit's toners are compatible with other models, which keeps the cost of Samsung SCX-3200 toner cartridges lower. Each Samsung SCX-3200 toner cartridge provides up to 1,500 pages before expiring, with the potential for more when using the Eco mode.

The SCX-3200 can provide high-quality scans, copies, and prints, and takes up a fairly small space on a desktop. Some buyers might wish for a document feeder or an ethernet port, and duplexing would have been nice to see. Still, it is an affordable device with a solid feature set for personal use.
