Samsung's Clx3160n Laser Printer - A Brief Introduction

More than churning out prints with color or mono Samsung CLX 3160N laser toners

, the Samsung CLX 3160N Printer does other tasks. That's because it's also capable of scanning, reproducing and faxing - all in a single unit. Everything is within a compact enclosure with an 18.3-inch (W) x 16.9-inch (D) x 19.1-inch (H) dimension. Hooking up to a PC is simple with the available high-speed USB dock. An optional Ethernet card lets you use it within a network structure.

As a laser printer, it's fast enough to churn out 16 monochrome pages per minute. That's 4 pages per minute when handling color printing tasks. Maximum resolution applicable for both tasks is 2400 x 600 dots per inch. This machine ships with starter CLX ink and toner. Black toner can yield as much as 1500 pages. The others (yellow, cyan and magenta) each can yield as much as 700 pages.

It has a 150-sheet standard input media handling capacity to boot, thanks to the single feeder available. This feeder can be adjusted to accommodate different media dimensions. Speaking of media dimensions, the machine can handle those measuring from as small as 3" x 5" to as big as 8.5" x 14". Supported media kinds are regular paper, transparencies, envelopes, cards, labels, etc. For meeting increased productivity needs, an optional 250-sheet feeder may be installed.

An A4-size flatbed scanner is around, which can offer an interpolated image resolution of up to 4800 dpi x 4800 dpi. Out in the front is a USB 2.0 port. When scanning, you have the option to directly save the document to a USB flash memory plugged into the port. However, saving it to the computer's hard drive or attaching it to an e-mail is also possible. Scan to network feature may be activated if the machine is shared by a workgroup.

Working as a copier, it packs in the same speed as that of the printer function when working on color and monochrome documents. However, the maximum resolution which can be used is 1200 x 1200 dots per inch. Document enlargement is up to 400 percent, while document reduction is up to 25 percent. You may use either the flatbed scanner or the automatic document feeder, and make a max of 99 copies.

Color and mono faxing are both allowed. Data transmission speed is up to 33.6 Kbps, thanks to the modem residing inside the CLX 3160N. Resolutions which can be used include 300 x 300 dpi and 200 x 200 dpi. As much as 320 pages may be stored on the allotted fax memory. Making up for the missing handset are user options on the control panel for easy redialing, accessing phone book address, etc.

Well laid out, the control panel makes the operation of this 4-in-one machine a breeze. Other than faxing, there are also dedicated buttons for copying, scanning and of course printing. Available USB port on the front panel may also be used for direct printing of files on a USB flash drive or digital camera. A total of 128MB RAM already comes installed. There's support for an assortment of operating systems.
