Samsung SCX-5835FN Toner Cartridges

Samsung SCX-5835FN Printer Review

Many think monochrome laser printers are all the same. However, monochrome printers come not only with different abilities but in different sizes and shapes too. If the office is looking for something small and hard working, the Samsung SCX-5835FN may be the best place to look. Weighing 50.9 pounds, you will find it hard to lift and an annoyance to carry. Perfect for offices on a budget, though, it has dimensions of only 19.7x18.3x21.5 inches. It also is inexpensive to maintain, thanks to affordable Samsung SCX-5835FN toner cartridges.

A wired machine, the SCX-5835FN connects via USB and ethernet only. It offers speeds as fast as 35 pages per minute using Samsung SCX-5835FN toner. There is a downfall to this particular machine, though—its lack of color printing. It can print documents with resolutions of as high as 1200x1200 dpi using its black toners, which will leave text documents looking sharp and professional. For those looking for photo printing, this machine isn't optimal, but for those with basic text needs, this is one of the best on the market. It can also print on an array of media types like labels, plain paper and transparencies. It can print up to 80,000 pages each month, meaning even mid-level offices will find it to be a comfortable fit.

Consumers tend to like the Samsung SCX-5835FN all around, although there are a few complaints, such as the lackluster graphics printing. Users find setup to be simple, though most wish that connection cables, like ethernet or USB cables, were included upon purchase. What people did like, though, was its quick text printing speeds and its high quality text results. Though replacement printer toner is already reasonably priced, buying remanufactured Samsung SCX-5835FN toner cartridges from third party vendors may be a good idea for those with a tight budget.
