Samsung SCX-3405 Printer Review

Designed to handle the needs of a small office, the Samsung SCX-3405 is a laser printer that has the ability to make copies and scan documents to computer files. Though this unit is versatile, the capabilities are limited to black-and-white prints only, as it is a monochrome machine. As many as 20,000 pages can be printed each month at an average rate of 20 pages per minute, making the SCX-3405 an ideal machine for offices with limited space but increasing volumes.

When documents are scanned to a computer, it is important that they are as clear and precise as the original copy. The scanner on the SCX-3405 has an internal resolution of 4800x4800 dpi, which is double the external resolution created by the Samsung SCX-3405 toner. When duplicates are being made, resizing options are available to reduce the size of the image to 50% or increase it up to 400% of the actual size.

When the machine is first purchased, a starter Samsung SCX-3405 toner cartridge is supplied that will last for about 700 prints. An LED alert system will blink when printer toner is starting to run low and replacement toners should be purchased. A number of online vendors sell standard Samsung SCX-3405 toner cartridge, which have a page yield of 1,500 prints. Documents can print at an efficient rate of 20 pages per minute while maintaining a professional resolution of 1200x1200 dpi created by the Samsung SCX-3405 toner.

The built-in connection option is a USB 2.0 as well as an ethernet base for simple networking. The input tray can hold up to 150 sheets of paper and the output tray can hold about 100 sheets. The standard memory is 64 MB and manual duplexing is available. As long as color printing is not a necessity, the Samsung SCX-3405 is a great office printer.
