Manual of product CLX-3170FN
Editorial note
The Samsung CLX-3170FN printer stands out for its exceptional print quality, with a maximum resolution of 2400 x 600 DPI, ideal for producing clear and precise documents and images. Its all-in-one functionality, including printing, copying, faxing, and scanning, is a major asset for professionals seeking versatility in a single device. Additionally, the built-in duplex printing contributes to optimal paper usage, thereby reducing printing costs. However, some drawbacks may hinder its adoption. Limited compatibility with Mac systems could frustrate users on those platforms. Furthermore, the color printing speed is relatively slow (4 ppm), which can be a disadvantage for those requiring quick prints. Additionally, its weight of 15400 g makes it difficult to move, and the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits wireless connection options. In terms of performance, the product delivers good results, although the color printing speed may disappoint some users. The design is functional, but the weight can be a barrier for those looking for a portable solution. Regarding value for money, the printer offers interesting features for a reasonable cost, but the 150-sheet paper capacity may prove insufficient in very busy work environments. Overall, the Samsung CLX-3170FN represents a good choice for users with varied printing needs, but limitations in connectivity and printing speed may make it less suitable for some professionals.Score details
