Samsung SF-535 Printer Review
The Samsung SF-535 is a tightly compact laser copier and fax machine. The machine also goes by the name SF-535E. It doesn't have printing capabilities like others in its model line, but it is a cost-saving option for buyers who want a small dedicated fax machine and copier, thanks to the inexpensive cost of Samsung SF-535 printer toner. Faxes transmit at 33.6 kbps, and copy speed is up to 8 pages per minute.
When it comes out of the box, the SF-535 requires a little more assembly than the average user might expect. Its different trays, phone handset, and other components must be installed or assembled before it is ready to use. The manual provides clear instructions, however, keeping the process simple. The feeder can hold up to 20 originals for copying or faxing, and the input paper tray can hold up to 150 sheets of standard paper.
The control panel of the device is definitely geared toward faxing, with a full keypad and a phone handset included. Speed dial buttons are front and center to make faxing a streamlined process. The SF-535 includes 2 MB of memory for storing faxes, and a battery backup that can last for 30 minutes, preventing data loss or missed faxes in case of a power outage.
Despite its small design, the use of toners over ink helps make the cost per page of Samsung SF-535 toner cartridges more affordable. In fact, the low cost of compatible Samsung SF-535 toner cartridges combined with their 3,000-page yield provides users a cost per page that is a fraction of a cent.
While the Samsung SF-535 can't handle printing tasks, having a compact fax and copier that doesn't rely on a host computer can be an effective solution for some buyers. Its setup process is a bit involved, but its features are easy to use and understand.
