Editorial note

The Samsung SCX-3400 printer stands out for its all-in-one versatility, offering copying, printing, and scanning features in a single device. With exceptional print quality thanks to its laser technology and a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, it is ideal for professional documents. Additionally, its print speed of 20 pages per minute allows for efficient task management in demanding work environments. Its low power consumption level in sleep mode, at only 30 W, is also an asset for environmentally conscious users. However, some points may be a source of frustration. The lack of automatic duplex printing and scanning features limits the efficiency of paper usage. Furthermore, connectivity is restricted, as the model does not support Wi-Fi or Ethernet connections, which could pose a problem in modern offices. The internal memory of 64 MB may also hinder the processing of more complex tasks, and the lack of compatibility with Mac systems could deter some users. Regarding value for money, the printer offers good value considering its features and print quality, but the limitations in connectivity and compatibility may be drawbacks for some. Finally, although its design is functional, its weight of 6700 g can make it impractical to move, especially in tight workspaces. Overall, the Samsung SCX-3400 is a good choice for those looking for a high-performing and versatile printer, provided that its limitations are taken into account.
