Buy Cheap Samsung Products

Very Very Pleased (2009-01-05)
Have had the machine for about 2 years. During that time I used up the included toner cartridge and much of a replacement cartridge, with about 3400 total pages (according to the printer).

It's given me no trouble at all. Print quality is fine (I'm a home user but I would not hesitate to use this as a small office machine).

Downsides are minor for me, but may not be for others:

1. It's relatively loud. I have it set to go into sleep mode almost immediately so it doesn't make any noise in between printing. But it makes a warm up whoosing sound before it prints and the printing itself is relatively noisy.

2. It's not a network scanner. It can only scan to a computer that is connected via usb.

Other than that I really can't say a negative thing about it.

Set up is easy, either via the on-board lcd or even better, via a web interface over the network. My advice - give it a network address asap via the lcd. Then enter the address as a url in your PC's browser and you can access all the other settings over an easy to use web page.

Have had no problems at all with the scanner, the automatic document feeder or manual feeder. The included software is rudimentary but is simple and works fine.

One aesthetic issue: The Amazon product image makes it look like the paper tray is a draw. It is not. It's a fixed tray that protrudes a few inches in front of the printer when the tray contains paper. The protruding portion is covered by an opaque plastic cover. When the paper tray is empty, the front part is hinged so it can be lifted to be flush with the printer (as in the image). This is both a positive and negative. When open, it takes up a little more desk space. But the paper is always in view so you easily tell if you are running low. Personally I never lift up the tray.

This looked like a nice machine for the money, except that it only prints in monochrome. If you are only interested in black and white printing, this machine should fit the bill

Samsung All In One (2008-12-15)
I use this for my small business and do alot of printing. I always purchased the Brother printers, but the last one I had was junk. So far, this Samsung printer is great. The quality print is excellent and there are plenty of speed dial slots. The only complaint would be is there is no easy way to use the speed dial. I actually printed out the list so I can enter by the number. Otherwise, the process is lengthy to use speed dial compared to other fax machines.

Scanning? (2008-10-24)
I was happy with this all in one until I found out that if you scan a 10 page document to pdf, it will open 10 seperate pdf documents. Hence forcing you to do the work of combining all the documents into one pdf. That's annoying! Does anyone know of a setting that can be changed so that it will automatically put all the scans from a "single" "mutli page" scan into "one" document?

Plus it doesn't scan across the network. That's annoying and it sux.

The upside is that it's a laser printer. Prints fast and faxes fast and clean. No probems with Printing, Copying and faxing. Scanning is missing a few bolts.

I love this machine (2008-08-22)
Although I did not buy it from amazon, I feel this is the best place to review it. I bought this printer cheaper than it probably should have been. There was an easyrebate involved. So I was thrilled about that.
When I got the box opened it took about 5 minutes to set it up. I installed the drivers and everything was up and running in no time. It was a real breeze. I have it set up via USB connection, so I cannot comment about its network capabilities. I did run a series of tests on its scanning however.

There are a couple of different parameters to set for the scanner. There are the resolution and color settings. For resolution, obviously the higher the resolution, the finer the image. If you are scanning text however, it doesnt require very high resolution. I found all the text on my utility bills legible at 200dpi, just one setting above the lowest resolution. A 2 page document takes up roughly 200kb in grayscale mode when saved as a PDF. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO SCAN A PAGE THROUGH THE DOCUMENT FEEDER.

2 things surprised me when I scanned this document in the other color modes (true color, 24-bit color, black and white):
1.) The file size remained about the same across all color modes.
2.) The scanning time became much longer for the other color modes.

There is an OCR program included with the software and it requires a resolution of 300dpi, which doesnt make a huge difference in file size or scanning time. But when the OCR program is finished and the document is saved in word format there is a HUGE difference. My 17 page lease took up a mere 285kB when converted to word format. You should only run the OCR programs on pages that are just text though. Running OCR on documents that contain alot of pictures or on poor copies can be problematic. For that just save the scan as a PDF and you'll be fine.

In the first 3 hours of owning this beauty, I had scanned every important piece of paper in my apartment. I even scanned all of my notes for a current semester at an Ivy League university.

I love this machine, and so will you.
