Samsung SCX-5530FN Printer Review
Multifunction laser devices which were once not affordable to smaller companies are now comfortably within reach. If you work from a home office frequently or run a small business, a multi-function printer (MFP) such as the Samsung SCX-5530FN is an excellent choice. If you just need a fast printer, consider the Samsung CLP-660 toner printer.
The Samsung SCX-5530FN is one of the fastest multi-functional printers available with faxing and duplex capabilities. With speeds of 28 pages per minute, 20 images per minute and 20 copies per minute, this printer can print and copy text and images side-by-side on both the long and short edge. It has a first copy out time of 8.5 seconds. With a duty cycle of 25,000 pages per month it's ideal for network sharing. The Samsung toner cartridges have a very high yield of 8,000 pages per cartridge.
A 250-sheet A4 tray comes as standard with a fold-out multi-purpose feeder for transparencies, card and other materials. There's an optional 250 sheet second drawer should you need it. As a printer the SCX-5530FN is very quick and simple to use, and although only 600dpi, boosted to an effective 1200dpi by software, it's more than adequate for day-to-day office printing. There's full support for both PCL6 and Postscript Level 3 printing with solid drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux provided. It can also convert scans to tiff, pdf and other formats and either transmit the scanned documents to remote Windows or FTP file shares, or send them to individuals and groups via email. Additionally, it's quite easy to configure address books and PIN-protected user settings in advance via the web-based management interface.
Overall, the space-saving SCX-5530FN all-in-One provides businesses with quality laser printing, digital copying, high-color digital scanning and faxing with exceptional features to keep up with the most demanding media-handling and printing options that users need. It's a printer marked by endurance and ruggedness. With its abundant features, there's not much to complain about the SCX-5530FN.
