Samsung SCX-4826 Laser Multi-Function Printer Top Quality

I agree with the reviewer from May - great little machine (made even better if you know what you are doing). We had no problems installing. Printing is fast and the output is beautiful. We went from a tiny personal Minolta laser printer that had put in a few great years to this for a few reasons. The Minolta was having a few problems that I was sick of dealing with, I was tired of manually duplexing, and we really wanted an auto document fed scanner (ADF). Now I just need to find a program that can automatically OCR and index the documents...

I didn't install the indexing software they included, so I guess I avoided that pitfall. I have had the SCX-4826fn a couple of months and love it. I haven't used the fax yet, but that's not what I bought it for. I bought it because it was the only laser ADF MFP with automatic duplexing in a reasonable price range! Nothing else even came close!

I only have a few minor complaints (really minor):
-The duplexing isn't smart. If you set (in printer preferences) to auto duplex (my preference is long side), it will duplex a printout of a single page. On the other hand, the duplexing is really quite fast.
-The manual paper feed tends to crinkle the sides or go in slightly crooked. But since it's got the auto duplexing function, I hardly use this.
-It doesn't default to the last scan's setting. Or if you set the preferences up with the driver on the computer, you still have to scroll past 'Scan to USB' to get to 'Scan to Computer'. I was really hoping for a 1-touch scan so I could get these stacks of old paperwork out of my office quickly.

Per the remark about not being able to scan a B&W (mono) PDF from the control panel on the printer - I do it all the time with no problems.

I didn't want to write my review too soon without trying out all the features, but I figured my experiences were at least now worth 2 cents. OfficeMax has it for $199 this week with $70 in MaxPerks (gift card) and I'm tempted to buy another one!Get more detail about Samsung SCX-4826 Laser Multi-Function Printer.
