Ratings & Reviews Samsung - SCX 3401 Multifunction Laser Printer

Product was delivered on time and in shockproof packing. However, after opening the box, the printer was smeared/smudged of toner cartridge. Possible reasons could be refilled toner cartridge, since brand new cartridge toner ink does not spill out even in transit. Complaint already lodged. Resolution expected by monday 4th Feb '13

This is my first laser printer. This printer is very fast at printing and in toner saver mode it can print as fast as 30ppm. Coming to the print quality, its outstanding. The images are very crisp and sharp. I found on the samsung site that this can be wirelessely operated from a smart phone. But I am not able to connect it to my android mobile phone via wifi. The only cons for this is its ultra high power consumption. I already own a canon pixma multifunction printer. When ther is a powercut, I use to connect the canon printer to the inverter and carry on my printing jobs. But this samsung printer don't even switch when connected to the inverter. Also at sometimes,, due to the heavy load of this printer, tube lights in my house go dim. But as far as I am concerned, its better to go with a Brother company Multifunction Laser printer which is a Rs.1000 less than this printer and have even more features like poster printing, N-in-1 printing.Coming to the print resolution, you don't find any difference in the print quality of the Brother's 600dpi print and samsung's 1200dpi print. Coming to the scanner, the size of images scanned on my canon mutifunction inkjet printer are around 5-6mb which captures greater details than this samsung printer which scans the picture with a lot of noise. At the end, I would advice you to buy this printer only if you want to print documents at a very faster rate and don't expect too much from this scanner.Get ready to pay a bit more electricity bill than your normal one.
