The Samsung CLX 6200FX is a colour laser multi-function printer sold to the small to medium business work-group market. This printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine is built to stand up to the demands of a heavy volume office environment, delivering professional colour and monochrome laser documents from printing or copies at a reasonable speed. The CLX 6200FX has networking as well as a USB 2.0 port to allow for both single user and office network access. A USB access area on the front of the machine allows users to plug a USB key into the printer and print or save a scan directly without access to a computer. Replacement Samsung CLX 6200FX toner comes in both original and high capacity sizes.
Design
The Samsung CLX 6200FX can print with an output resolution of 2,400 x 600 dpi and copy with an output resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi. First print takes 25 seconds or less, and printing and copy speeds run at 20 pages per minute for both colour and monochrome. Scanning has an enhanced resolution of up to 4,800 x 4,800. Fax has an autodial feature, and the majority of printer functions can be accessed without the printer being hooked up to the network. This printer has a duty cycle of 65,000 sheets per month, and handles a wide variety of document sizes and paper weights.
Advantages
The Samsung CLX 6200FX offers support for more operating system options than many competing printers, including Mac and Linux, which makes it a good choice for anyone looking for a printer that will support a computer with a non-Windows OS configured. This multi-function printer offers a good set of features, and Samsung CLX 6200FX cartridges have sizing options that can handle offices with either a low or high need for documents.
Disadvantages
The Samsung CLX 6200FX is on the higher end of prices when compared to similar multi-function business colour laser printers with the same feature set. While it offers a slightly higher resolution and slightly larger duty cycle, the difference is small enough that most offices likely to use this printer fully would be fine with most of the less pricey options from competing manufacturers.
