Technical specifications allow Samsung SCX-4200 to organize an entry-level document management system without any problems. This peripheral product is perfect for a compact office. It can also be used in other cases, but with such an application, the printing system needs to be supplemented with other similar devices.
About the device. What did the manufacturer include in the supply?
Laser printing is the basis of the Samsung SCX-4200. Owner reviews highlight high performance and a large print limit. It is these advantages that correspond to the laser printing method. The main drawback in this case is usually the low quality of the output documentation, which is only sufficient for textual or tabular information. The delivery list consists of:
Paper. Work speed
Samsung SCX-4200 can print on any medium with sizes not exceeding A4 inclusive with a density of 60 to 165 g / m2. This peripheral solution takes about 20 seconds to warm up. It will take him about 12-15 seconds to exit the first carrier. In the future, this is a multifunctional device capable of printing up to 18 A4 pages. The same speed for this peripheral solution is also in the multiple device mode.
Communications
The Samsung SCX-4200 is equipped with just one single connection method. Like most similar peripheral universal solutions, this MFP is equipped with a USB port. Its capabilities are more than enough to connect a workflow system. Moreover, this interface is duplex and is capable of transmitting information in any direction. The only significant drawback of this connection method is that the control functions in the printer or scanner modes are carried out by the personal computer to which this peripheral device is connected. It is also sometimes called a print server. In the multiplier mode, this MFP is capable of working independently. If necessary, you can install an external network card in this device and connect it directly to the computer network.
Cartridge. Possible problems with the repair
A cartridge at one full refill can display up to 3,000 pages. After that, according to the manufacturer, the owner should purchase a new cartridge. But still there is the possibility of reusing the cartridge. In the first case, an additional microchip is installed, which resets the counter. In the second case, the MFP is flashed, but then the Samsung SCX-4200 is under warranty repair. But still, from an economic point of view, it is more justified to use the latter method of cartridge reuse. Also, with the right approach, as a rule, when updating the software there are no problems. In total, this MFP can print up to 10,000 pages for 30 days. As a result, the owner will have to refill the cartridge 3-4 times during this time interval.
