The control panel is very intuitive to use, with functions clearly labeled with
easily recognizable names and corresponding icons.
The SCX-6345N includes the Smart Panel utility, a program that monitors
and informs users of the status of the printer and allows them to customize
the printer’s settings. Smart Panel is automatically installed with the printer
software. The Smart Panel program displays the current status of the printer
and the level of toner remaining in the toner cartridges and allows users to
change settings. If an error occurs while printing, the Smart Panel utility will
pop-up automatically; users can also proactively access the utility to obtain
information on status. Administrators and users can also receive e-mail noti-
fication when there is an error or if a consumable needs to be replaced.
When compared with competitive multifunction printers with support for up
to legal-size output, the Samsung SCX-6345N offers a competitive standard
memory capacity of 256 MB, which can be upgraded to 384 MB; however,
some competitive models offer a higher maximum paper capacity.
The Samsung SCX-6345N comes standard with a 40-GB hard drive. Some
competitive systems offer 20-GB hard drives and some systems offer hard
drives only as options or not at all.
Although the standard paper capacity of 520 sheets is below average when
compared to multifunction printers in this speed range, the maximum paper
capacity of 2,180 sheets is competitive.
Samsung offers an optional 500-sheet finisher that staples up to 50 sheets
per set.
While it offers a basic copier feature set compared to copiers, it offers
a good feature set when compared with other legal-size multifunction
printers. Equipped with a 50-sheet reversing automatic document feeder
and automatic duplexing, it offers book copying, booklet mode, cover and
sheet insertion, transparency interleaving, zoom and preset reduction and
enlargement and an ID card copy feature that enables copying of both sides
of cards (such as driver’s licenses and medical insurance cards) onto one
side of a sheet.
Samsung offers and optional 500-sheet staple finisher for the SCX-6345N.
The SCX-6345N includes a Direct Printing utility to allow users to print PDF
and TIFF files without having to open the application. Users can open the
utility or simply drag and drop the file to be printed onto the shortcut icon
on the desktop for this utility.
