Solid product with weaknesses

Previously, I had made an HP PSC 1610 for many years of loyal service. After this was no longer to be used due to a component in the cent range, was quickly realized that there should be a color laser multifunction device this time. Mainly for the following two reasons:

- Printouts blur not if you work with it, or passing it on.
- There are no cartridges that could dry up

The choice was between Samsung CLX 3305 and HP LaserJet Pro 100 - both with Wi-Fi. Since my work is limited, I decided against the 35-sheet auto document feeder of the HP device and the compactness of Samsung.

I use the Samsung printer now for about 10 days and have to say that my impressions are mixed. The installation on three PCs running smoothly now and in a few minutes. Two units I have wireless set (each Win7, 32 and 64 bit) and the stationary WinXP computer I installed via USB. Simply insert the CD and wait ... done.

After installation, it is immediately possible to send print commands via WLAN to configure to control the device (scan) and. In addition, you can send it directly to a device on the network from the MFP immediately scans.

The basic functions are fulfilled without any reason to complain. The prints in color and black and white are impeccable. The same applies to the scan results. To test that I have a self-made 30x20 withdrawal from the photo lab scanned and the results compared to the deduction ... very good!

Unfortunately, the operating software is not as elegant and simple as that provides HP to their devices. Nevertheless, all functions are available.

Deduction earned the unit because it described in a position not to 220 gr / m2 printing paper. When I tried high-quality 180 gr / m2 paper to print it caused repeated jams. I could not print one page order.

When scanning from from Samsung device, the results are not always perfect. When I tried to scan a document on my laptop (PDF format), I realized that the document has been scanned incorrectly (banding). That came before repeated. However, only when the scan was initiated directly from the device and not from your PC using the installed operating tools.

The latter negative points for me are not quite as important as the basic functions. Nevertheless, it is annoying, because it is precisely the operation on the device should work correctly in a multi-function device that is connected to a network. Maybe Samsung supplies sometime a firmware update to fix the problem. But that remains to be seen.

Conclusion:
+ Installtion / Commissioning
+ Color u. B / W prints
+ Very high quality image scanning from the PC
o Operating Software
- Not all paper grades, which were reported are actually usable
- Scans are initiated by CLX3305 sometimes flawed

Update 08/08/2014:
After this product was already the third defective within the warranty period now, I have separated myself from myself and the HP LaserJet Pro 200 (Model: 0M276nw) bought. Whose predecessor had already been previously shortlisted (see above). Once I have a little more experience with the new device, I will also write my review.
