Samsung SF-530 Printer Review
The Samsung SF-530 is a laser fax machine with basic copying features. It is a very full-featured fax with all the features a buyer would expect and even a few extras. Samsung SF-530 toner cartridges are affordable, with a low cost per page that makes them a great value.
The main improvement the Samsung SF-530 features over previous models is its faster transmission speed. It supports Super G3 transmission speeds up to 33.6 kbps for much faster faxing. This translates to around 6 seconds per page, but it can also slows down the speed to accommodate slower machines when necessary. The usual fax features are included, such as a 160-pages document memory, which can store incoming faxes when the unit is out of paper, and 20 one-touch keys which make it fast and easy to send to frequent locations. The fax forward feature makes it easy to send incoming messages to other numbers when you are away from the office. If copying, scanning and printing are desired too, the Samung SCX-4200, which uses Samsung SCX-D4200A toner, may be a better choice.
Samsung SF-530 toner is very reasonably-priced. With a capacity of 3,000 pages, Samsung SF-530 toner cartridges come out to around 2 cents per page or less. With printer toner costs being the major expense of a fax machine, economical toners can make all the difference.
Compared to competing models, the Samsung SF-530 laser unit has a slightly higher price than most. It makes up for this by boasting a few more features, such as fax forwarding, that less expensive models don't include. The low cost of Samsung SF-530 toner also makes it a more economical choice in the long run.
Overall, home and small office users looking for a dedicated fax machine should definitely consider the Samsung SF-530. It has the necessary features to get the job done, and its economical toner costs are easy on the wallet.
