Samsung SCX 4725FN
Multifunction printers are great when space is limited. They are ideal for the small or home office as they are cost-effective, and perform the role of four devices all in one chassis.
The Samsung SCX-4725FN is aimed squarely at the small or home office market. While it certainly isn’t the best looking appliance in the world, it is useful, and very good at what it does. The size is average for a multifunction device, measuring 20 inches wide, with a minimal lip at the top for the scanner flatbed. This is larger than a standalone printer, but on-par for a multifunction.
Print quality is precisely what you would expect from a Samsung. Text appears crisp, with clean edges. Images reproduction pushes the grayscale a bit with a few jaggies and a bit of banding but nothing that would spoil the effect. Overall, toner spread was even and detailed enough for most needs.
The user manual is easy to read and have you up and running in no time at all. Installing the toner and drum can be a fiddly affair, no such problems with the SCX-4725FN. They both slide easily into the drawer and clip into place. Loading paper is just as straightforward, with the paper tray also being at the front at the bottom. Fill it up and off you go. It isn’t a paper drawer like many others, this is an actual tray that protrudes a bit from the front.
If you want a standalone copier, scanner and fax, this is all you have to do to get productive. If you want to use it in conjunction with a computer, you merely need to install the drivers and connect the SCX-4725FN to the computer, and it’s all done.
The control panel is simple and easy to use, with different button sets for each function. This allows ease of use, without getting confused over what button is for which function, or having to follow a menu.
The automatic document feeder on the top is good for 50 sheets, and works well. There is also a multipurpose paper tray for non standard sizes like envelopes or labels.
Overall the SCX-4725FN is a solid multifunction device for the most environments. It a reliable performer that won’t let you down. Consumables last a decent amount of time and don’t cost the too much.
