Samsung SCX 4500 Printer - A Good All-Round MFP
Even though we have seen great reductions in the footprint of most electronic devices in recent times, PC, mobile phones and televisions included. We have been yet to see printers designed with this in mind. Most of them still tend to be bulky lumps of plastic which appear to have been assembled cheaply. At least this has been the case until the Samsung SCX 4500 printer, which uses Samsung SCX 4500 Toner , was produced.
Inkjets have certainly not done very well and at really cheap prices of below the $100 mark it hardly seems worth replacing ink cartridges when they run out. Laser printers on the other hand have done better. Samsung seem to have a much more responsible outlook when it comes to designing their equipment. They offer products that are reasonably priced as well as good designs.
The Samsung SCX 4500 multifunction printer is a case in point, and really fits the profile of the "coolness factor". It is a slimmed down, full feature, full functionality but powerful marvel of electronics design. It is a slim 13 x 15.5, x 6.5" with a stylish exterior. It is simple to operate and incredibly quiet. In fact you are barely able to hear it when it is printing.
Touch sensitive controls feature on the control panel, and although the settings are limited, you have to take the good with the bad. SmartThru software is used for some of the printer functions and for scanning and this can be installed on Windows XP in as little as 5 minutes. You need to have your own USB cable as the printer does not come complete with this. Make sure you have purchased one, or that you have one available from an old printer. One you have set your MFP up, it requires very little warm up time and a printed page can be copied in about 10 seconds.
Although the paper cassette is hidden in the bottom of the printer it has a limited capacity, but if you want a printer with a small footprint, what more can you expect. Print quality is reasonable, but considering the $300 or so price tag of this laser printer, this is to be expected.
Although greyscale printing is good and the scan quality is excellent at 600 x 2400 dpi. It is also a very simple task to replace printer toner plugs, just remove and replace.
Samsung's SCX-4500 is a more than adequate printer for home use, but it is not recommend it as a networked printer for office work, it does not have a built in Ethernet. Although if everyone in the office has their own printer, it is also fine. Users are also not able to print from a USB drive and it does not have a card reader. It is also not terribly fast at 16 pages per minute out-put, which places it behind some of the competition. However these slight flaws are easily overlooked as this MFP is so stylish, and sometimes style demands certain trade-offs. - 20762
