Multifunctional device Samsung scx 4220. Consumables and components

Modifications Samsung SCX-4220 belongs to the South Korean electronics manufacturer in the entry-level solutions segment. It has the appropriate parameters and specifications. It is the capabilities of this peripheral device that this review is devoted to.

Positioning. Delivery list

Most often, such a small document management system can be found in offices. It is great for displaying text, simple graphs or tables. This is the kind of information that is often printed in offices. But such an MFP is not entirely suitable for displaying images. During operation, this device uses laser method printing, it is precisely this circumstance that does not allow one to obtain high-quality photos with its help than in the case of using the inkjet method. Also, such an MFP can be used both in a copy center and at home.

The key component of the supply is the MFP Samsung models SCX-4220. A description of its capabilities and configuration procedures are outlined in the user manual. The second part of the list of supplied documentation is the warranty card. Also, the manufacturer did not forget to equip this MFP with an interface cord, cartridge, power cord and CD.

Main characteristics

The maximum resolution for the Samsung SCX-4220 is set to 600 X 600 for printer mode and 4800 X 4800 when used as a scanner. The main media type is A4. The operating speed of such an MFP is 18 pages per minute.

The interface set of this device includes only USB port. But in this case there is no question of supporting Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces. In the end, the device in question is a budget device, and it certainly cannot boast of an extended communications list.

Cartridge. Features of operation

The only cartridge model that this MFP can work with is the SCX-D4200A. Its limit is 3000 pages. The monthly limit of such a printing system is 10,000 sheets. That is, the cartridge needs to be refilled 3-4 times during this time interval. But so often this needs to be done only in the most intensive mode.

When using a refilled cartridge, you must either use a nulling chip or a modified software shell for the Samsung SCX-4220. A scanner error when changing the internal software of the MFP occurs quite often. Therefore, it is preferable to use a microcircuit.

Setting procedure

In progress Samsung settings The SCX-4220 needs to do the following:

  1. Removing from packaging and assembling the device. You will also need to remove any previously installed transport fasteners.
  2. Then the printing system must be installed next to the system unit, from which control will be carried out in the future.
  3. At the next stage, you need to complete the connections in full. That is, using a power cable we supply power to the MFP, and using an interface cord we organize the exchange of information with a PC.
  4. Then install the cartridge.
  5. After this, you need to enable all components included in the document management system. Once the download process is complete system unit install the control software from the disk.
  6. At the final stage, place one A4 sheet in the feed tray and print a test page.

Now the document management system is ready for operation.

How much does this MFP cost? Reviews. Conclusion

Currently, Samsung SCX-4220 can be purchased used for 4000-5000 rubles. In the new state, such a solution is no longer possible to acquire. This MFP has been discontinued and its stock has been sold very successfully.

Judging by the reviews, the strengths of this device include: speed, efficiency, low cost, easy setup and reliability. This document management system has only one drawback - it is a minimized communication list.

    I bought it 11 years ago. I print a lot of abstracts. I only refilled the cartridge 3 times. It’s perfect for the home.

    ergonomic

    Worked for quite a long time under heavy loads. Good quality manufacturing of body parts.

    It is very convenient to cut bread and place a glass of tea when the table is crowded.

    Reliable. I have had this MFP for 4 years now and have had no problems with it. Even though the cat constantly jumps onto him from the closet (from a height of more than 1.5 meters, the cat weighs 5 kg), nothing broke. Paper jams are very rare (mostly only if newly printed magnetized sheets are immediately inserted for printing on the other side, but any printer will jam). No problems with drivers. I don’t know who has any problems, I installed it on Win7 from off. driver website, but for Win8 and Linux, native drivers are installed, and that’s fine. Low cartridge consumption (over these 4 years the cartridge has only now begun to run out, but I don’t print very often).

    Having experience using a dozen and a half different printers and MFPs, I can say that this is the worst device that has passed through my hands.

    2 years ago

    It has been working like a beast under heavy load for more than three years. I'm looking for the same model. Ours began to creak and show an inscription supposedly a paper jam, which in fact is not there. But overall the model is reliable.

    2 years ago

    1) Good model, average quality. 2) It seems to me that it scans normally. 3)Good print quality! 4) My paper feeds perfectly, without jams, even thin ones. 5) It’s nice to work with drivers, everything is clear (no problems) 6) Economical (One frame can be enough for a year) 7) The back cover of the printer always helps when printing on hard sheets. 8) Cheap, accessible cartridges 9) if you have to print a non-standard document, for example in A6 format, then you don’t have to pick it out, but simply lift the scanner, as it were, and remove everything.

    Fast, convenient. There is a section for paper, you can load quite a lot (which is not available on all printers)

    Well, maybe just a long warm-up. Although I observed the same thing with more sophisticated models from Samsung.

    A year ago

    Long warm up and even longer cool down. In standby mode it consumes 50 kW per month. After 5000 pages it requires re-flashing the cartridge chip. Cancel printing by completely disconnecting from the network.

    2 years ago

    After half a year, the internal mechanisms began to creak, if the paper jams, then the “wheels” that push the paper out of the tray may break; if this happens, the paper jam will always occur. Noisy warm-up for 11 seconds. heats up quickly (do not confuse warming up with heating).

    2 years ago

    takes a long time to warm up. I mainly use it as a copier - so after copying one page I think about something for a long time. If you use manual feed, it often takes sheets from both the tray and manual feed - as a result, both get stuck. you have to pull it out by hand - it’s not very convenient, and after that it prints on subsequent sheets what was printed on the jammed one: in this case, only pulling out the cartridge helps.

    2 years ago

    1. Warming up - no comments, you can have time to smoke and have time to forget that you wanted to make a copy of something.
    2. A hand tray is convenient because it holds the sheet of paper, but what it does next with it has nothing to do with its true purpose.
    3. The scanner is very, very slow!!! Sometimes you wait until he gets to the end, you listen and it seems like it’s time to turn the document over, you open the lid, and he still has to crawl about 8 centimeters... and all over again!
    4.The “Multiple copies of one document” function is not perfect! - i.e. when you make a copy of your passport, you need to make 2 pages of the passport on one sheet in 3 copies and then you enter the number of copies - 3, press START, it makes 3 copies, but you need to put the same sheets back in order to make a blank there was the second page of the passport, and the manual feed tray only takes one

    A very slow printer. The printer is on the sales floor. Often, 1.5-2 minutes pass from the moment the invoice is sent for printing until it is received. This is due to the fact that the printer warms up before printing, it takes a very long time to warm up and it does this not just once when turned on, like other devices, but quite regularly.
    If you type with a pause of several minutes, then it’s even more or less tolerable. If the pause between printing is 15-20 minutes, then you have to wait a very long time for the first sheet to come out. Therefore, this printer is practically impossible to use if you need to print several times a day.
    This printer not only doesn’t like paper, it doesn’t hate it. get ready to select it specifically for him. As we have already noticed, “Snegurochka” and others like her chew regularly.
    The cost of printing is also unknown.

    1) In the middle of the printed sheet on this printer, 3 fingerprints constantly appear. (On all documents, be it text or graphic) It’s very frustrating, even though they are not very visible.
    2) You can’t cancel printing or copying (or you can only do it in extraordinary ways)
    3) There is no double-sided printing (but this is so, for such a price, it shouldn’t be)
    4) Of course it makes noise, but it doesn’t bother me at all.
    5) printing on solid sheets needs to be adjusted, otherwise the weight of the sheet in strips.
    6) The scanner cover is very light, so you have to put pressure on it or put something on it (to press the sheet).
    7) The sheet heats up during printing and at this moment (when it is heated or still warm) it is better not to touch it, since if you wipe or even just touch the printed text with your finger, it will be erased.

    Noisy, after 1.5 years of use it requires cleaning the entire mechanism, (CLARKING LOUDLY) cleaning costs 1 - 2 thousand rubles. If you accidentally press the print button, then you just have to pull out the cancel button (or rather, it does, but it only works when using a scanner)

    2 years ago

    Perhaps a little noisy, but that doesn't bother me. The scanner for color images is average.

    2 years ago

    1 The drivers are installed crookedly (although my computer may be a bit old)
    2 What’s the most disgusting thing is chewing paper (especially Snegurochka) I would put up with everything, but not this
    It is his direct responsibility to print correctly
    And now you have to select paper

Laser black and white MFP Samsung SCX-4220 is designed for individual users and home offices with document flow up to 10,000 standard pages per month.

Appearance and design features

The Samsung SCX-4220 MFP is made of smoky matte plastic, and the side walls of the device, the output tray and the control panel are made of matte dark gray plastic. This model is distinguished by its compact size and discreet design.

At the bottom of the MFP there is a loading tray for 250 sheets of paper. Above the loading tray there is a slot for manual document feeding. Even higher, between the printing module and the scanning unit, an output tray for finished documents is mounted. Above the output tray there is a control panel with a small two-line LCD display, function buttons and indicators. A ventilation grille is mounted on the right side panel of the MFP to cool the working mechanism, and on the back wall there are connectors for connecting the device to the network and to a computer, as well as a power button.

Printer

The first page arrives in the output tray 11 seconds after receiving the job; in streaming mode, the printer demonstrates excellent performance - up to 18 pages per minute at a resolution of 600x600 dpi.

Scanner

The scanner (Twain, Wia) comes with an optical character recognition program that will help you scan documents and convert them into an editable text format. The optical resolution when scanning is 600x2400 dpi, interpolation - 4800x4800 dpi.

Copier

The high quality of digital copying will not leave anyone indifferent, since copied documents are difficult to distinguish from the originals. The copying resolution is 600x600 dpi. The copy scale can be changed from 50 to 200%. Unique Samsung function ID Card Copy allows you to copy both sides of small originals onto one turn of paper.

Consumables and components

MFPs use non-separable cartridges with an average yield of 3,000 pages, but new devices go on sale with trial cartridges of 500 pages. The MFP uses paper, films, labels, cards, envelopes and some other types of media.
