Samsung SCX-3201g Toner Cartridges

Samsung SCX-3201g Printer Review

The first thing that will catch a potential buyer's eye about the Samsung SCX-3201g laser printer is its low purchase price, but its best features lie beneath the surface. Despite its somewhat slow speeds of 17 pages per minute, it has advanced features like a one-touch print screen option and the AnyWeb Print software that can save time and conserves Samsung SCX-3201g printer toner as well.

The SCX-3201 series is designed for small office spaces in more ways than one. It has a compact size of 9.2 inches tall with a footprint of 15.3x11.8 inches. Its weight of only 16.3 pounds also includes the Samsung SCX-3201g toner supply, so it is easy to move around and to set up. Another feature that will appeal to users who work in close proximity to their printer is that it generates only 49 dBA of noise while printing, making it one of the quietest in its class.

The machine does lack automatic duplexing, though users can manually re-feed pages with assistance from the software. The first page out time is 10 seconds from Ready mode. A flatbed scanner allows for copying and scanning options as well. The input paper capacity is a bit limited, at only 150 sheets.

The capacity of toners is around 1,500 pages per supply. The single Samsung SCX-3201g toner cartridge also contains the drum unit, so it is the only consumable to replace. Users can find compatible Samsung SCX-3201g toner cartridges for a fraction of the cost of OEM supplies.

Overall, the SCX-3201g has a great combination of features to appeal to personal users as well as small office users. The lack of an automatic document feeder means it should only be used for light-duty scanning and copying, but it is a great value for the features included.
