SCX-4705 Printer Review
Expert review of the SCX-4705 printer
The Samsung SCX-4705 is a laser multi-functional monochrome printer with the facility to print, copy and scan. With a compact size and low noise levels, it can be used in a small workspace without causing distraction. Ideal for use in a home or small office, it works reliably and efficiently to produce good quality black documents free from smudges. The printer is a sturdy device, although the design is let down by a hard to read display screen, which would benefit from being lit up. To save money and benefit the environment, an eco-mode setting reduces energy and toner consumption and prints in duplex to reduce the amount of paper used. However, as this is a monochrome printer only, consider all printing needs before purchasing.
Design
Measuring 384mm x 406mm x 338mm, the Samsung SCX4705 is a compact machine in a grey design. Print resolution is 1200 dpi, print speed is 28 ppm and the monthly duty cycle is 12,000 pages. Paper capacity is 250 sheets in the built-in paper cassette, while an auto-document feeder holds 40 sheets for quick scanning and copying. On the front is a control panel with buttons and a two line LCD screen to navigate the printer. Connection is achieved from a USB or Ethernet connection.
Advantages
The Samsung SCX-4705 operates at a low noise level, reducing workplace disruption. The small footprint allows the printer to be easily located even in small workspaces. The eco-mode button, which will serve as the default setting once activated, will result in monetary savings and benefits to the environment.
Disadvantages
The design of the Samsung SCX4705 is let down by an unlit display screen, which makes it hard to read. This printer is limited to black documents only and is not equipped with a fax function, so an additional device will need to be purchased if further operations are required.
