A Simple Look at the Elements of the All-in-One Samsung CLX-3175FN Printer
Buying an all-in-one machine is like getting different office equipment for the price of one. While very advantageous for those who wish to save money, many of these machines are on the bulky side. Fortunately, there’s an all-in-one that’s evidently smaller than the rest: the Samsung CLX-3175FN printer with Samsung 3175FN toner. Its compact form factor with a black finish may be placed just about anywhere for your printing, scanning, copying and faxing needs.
Its body measures only 415 mm (width) x 342 mm (height) x 373 mm (depth) and it tips the scale at a little over 15 kg. On the top panel you can spot the buttons and a two-line LCD which helps simplify the operation. Compared to others, it’s quieter too since it has the NO NOIS technology which keeps the noise emitted below 46 dBA when printing with toner cartridge.
As a laser printer, it’s capable of producing up to 4 color pages and 16 monochrome pages per minute. These figures are based on the use of A4 media, and may vary depending on the document’s content or computer’s specifications. To come up with texts that are sharp and images that are detailed, it uses a 2400 x 600 dpi (dots per inch) resolution. SPL-C is the language used, and there’s manual duplex capability.
To help catch up with your day-to-day output requirements, there’s the 150-sheet input cassette tray and 80-sheet (face down) output capacity. Media sizes it can work on are those from as little as 76 mm x 160 mm to as large as 216 mm x 356 mm. Media types supported are regular paper, glossy, recycled, letterhead, punched, card, labels, envelopes and transparencies. Monthly duty cycle is listed at 20000 pages.
Starter toner cartridges are shipped with the machine. The yellow, cyan and magenta cartridges each can yield as much as 700 pages, while the black cartridge can yield up to 1000 pages. Because of the special design of the machine, operational noise can be kept to a minimum as the toner cartridges remain in place.
Being a scanner, it takes on a flatbed design. It uses an optical resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dots per inch, although it may be enhanced to a staggering 4800 x 4800 dots per inch resolution. It offers a few conveniences since you have the option to scan directly to a folder, application, network or a USB device plugged into this multi-function machine.
It’s capable of doing both color and monochrome copies. It takes less than 45 seconds for the first color copy to be out, while that’s 18 seconds for a monochrome one. Using A4 media sizes, it can dish out as much as 4 color and 16 monochrome copies per minute. You may reduce the document to 25 percent and enlarge it to 400 percent. Functions like making poster, clone, ID and N-UP copies are around.
This all-in-one machine also works as an ITU-T G3 class fax. It has a 300 x 300 dpi resolution for monochrome documents, while it uses a 200 x 200 dpi resolution for color ones. A 2MB memory is around, and the transmission speed is 33.6 Kbps.
Hooking up the Samsung CLX-3175FN printer with 3175FN cartridges, to a computer or a network is done via the integrated hi-speed USB 2.0 and Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX ports that uses toner cartridge. The USB port enables you to print files directly from a mobile phone, camera or USB flash memory without switching on a computer, but with using laser toner.
