Samsung SCX 4216F, a monochrome laser based
MFD can print, scan, copy and fax. It connects to a PC via Parallel or USB1.1
interface. There’s an ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) unit that can handle 30
sheets while scanning or copying. And it has a 16X2 LCD display.
The MFD’s performance is very good. The Samsung MFD managed to print A4
size monochrome text at 16 ppm, which is slightly lower than its rated 17 ppm.
The text printout quality was clear, but line art and curves need improvement,
since there were breaks in the lines.Â
Samsung
SCX 4216F could copy an A4 size text page at 15 ppm, which is little lower than
the rated 16 ppm. Copy quality was excellent, and you can scale it from 25% to
400% of the original size. The scanning unit supports an optical resolution of
600 dpi and enhanced resolution of 4800dpi.
It took 22 secs to do a preview scan, and 1 min and 54 secs to scan a
full-page color image at 300dpi, and 46 secs for a full page of text. It also
lets you scan to OCR, which saves documents in editable plain text, and rich
text formats.
The MFD’s fax unit has 4 MB memory that can store more than 300 pages. It
supports fax forwarding and sending faxes to multiple destinations. Its a good
solution for small offices.Â
