printer scanner combo

The combo or all-in-one printer has become a popular choice for people who want to save money and space. There is also the key advantage that combining several machines into one certainly offers more convenience . The main combo is a 4 in 1 which combines a fax, copier,scanner and printer. However, the need for a  printer scanner fax combo is becoming less popular. Most people need or require the use of a printer scanner combo rather than a fax although the use of a copier is still in demand.

If your looking for a printer and scanner combo then, you should not dismiss machines that also include a copier. The reason for this is because their is very little difference in the price of a printer scanner combo and a machine that includes a copier.

One good printer scanner copier combo is the Samsung SCX 4200. This machine is currently retailing at $156.99 which offers very good value. The reviews on Amazon for this model are very positive with satisfied users giving it a 4.5 star rating. This is a black and white laser printer scanner with copier that produces prints and copies up to 600 dpi (dots per inch) which is above average quality for a machine that is well under $200. With the copy scanner you can enhance images up to an impressive  4800 dpi.

In terms of printing speed this printer scanner combo with copier can deliver 19 pages per minute (ppm) which is pretty fast for a machine in this price range. The paper capacity on the Samsung SCX 4200 is 250 sheets. The machine also has a feeder for using envelopes and labels.

This is also a good mobile printer scanner combo because it is quite compact in size to move about.  It does not have a fax facility however I must admit I can't see much demand for a scanner printer fax combo these days. Feedback from reviewers stated that the printing operation is quiet which is good if you share an office.

The Samsung is also more environmentally friendly and energy efficient compared to other 3 in 1 machines. This machine has a sleep mode function that shuts down if not in use but it only takes a few minutes to load up a gain. So, you will have the piece of mind knowing that this machine will not increase your energy bill by too much. This comes with the ink cartridge toner included.

The main  drawbacks with the Samsung SCX 4200 is that it cannot print in color, therefore if you want to print out photo posters are graphics this may not be the right model for you. Another drawback is that it does not have duplex printing or wireless networking ports.

The Samsung SCX 4200 3 in 1 printer offers very good value for money. For under $160 you are getting a 3  operations with quality resolution and print speed. This is also a compact print machine that will not take up too much real estate on your desk.
