6345N MFP offers excellent multitasking capabilities, with users able to
program multiple copy jobs, limited only by memory capacity, while another
copy or print job is in progress. The SCX-6345N MFP features a touch-screen
control panel that made use of the copy, scan to e-mail and fax functions
very intuitive. Overall ease of use as a walk-up device is enhanced by simple
procedures for loading paper, adjusting paper drawers and replacing toner
and drum cartridges.
Based on its outstanding performance in BLI’s extensive in-house testing, BLI
recommends the Samsung SCX-6345N MFP for mid-size workgroups requiring
monochrome printing, copying, faxing and color scanning for monthly print
volumes of up to 25,000 impressions.
