Samsung SCX-3400 Toner Cartridges

Samsung SCX-3400 Printer Review

Having a compact laser printer is valuable enough for a small office, but a compact multifunction device is even better. The Samsung SCX-3400 can print, copy, and scan, with optional faxing support, and its fast speeds of up to 21 pages per minute are impressive for its size. The SCX-3400F model also comes with faxing and a document feeder, and the SCX-3400FW also adds wireless networking, and all three use affordable Samsung SCX-3400 printer toner.

The SCX-3400 base model measures 9.8x10.8x15.3 inches, with a weigh of just less than 15 pounds. This makes it suitable even for personal use on a desktop surface. The main limitation of this model is that it comes with only a flatbed scanning surface, so those who make a lot of copies or scans may want to consider the upgraded models with an automatic document feeder.

The control panel is somewhat unique in that it snaps into the machine for a flat profile when not in use, and folds out for easier usage otherwise. The "Eco" button can help save paper, energy, and Samsung SCX-3400 toner all at the same time, with a slight reduction in speed and quality. The Easy Eco Driver feature also lets users remove unneeded elements from documents or web pages before printing.

Samsung SCX-3400 toner cartridges aren't the least expensive in its class, but they are pretty affordable. The single black Samsung SCX-3400 toner cartridge can last for up to 1,500 pages, which keeps the cost per page low enough for smaller budgets.

For buyers who are more concerned about high-quality prints and cost-effective toners, the Samsung SCX-3400 could be a very good choice. If they lack of wireless support or a document feeder might be an issue, it will be worth the extra price for the upgraded models.
