Samsung SCX-4729FD/XAA Monochrome Printer with Scanner, Copier & Fax Review

What do you get in the box?
Printer, Power cord, phone cord, software CD, keypad decal, instruction/setup guide.
What should have been in the box?
All that plus an ethernet cable. Why? Because they cost next to nothing.

The Samsung SCX-4729FD is a multi-function black and white laser printer that connects to your network via USB-computer, or Ethernet. There is a wireless model of this printer also available from Samsung.

Installation is easy. Remove about 8 pieces of tape, two pieces of styro, foam on the scanner plate, a plastic clip on the toner cartridge, plus a long plastic strip also on the toner cartridge. After that it's a snap to insert paper (it handles a4/a5/lgl/letter/etc.), plug it in and get going. Windows 7 found the printer immediately and installed basic drivers, but if you want to do more then install the Samsung software. This was actually the slowest part of the whole process - software installation.

You can optionally have a toolbar for the printer that offers one click access to the major functions of printing/scanning/faxing/copying. I chose to remove that because if I want to use the printer I'll open the software myself.

The device goes into, and nicely stays in a standby mode. It powers up when you need it, otherwise it has a soft blue light on the power button to let you know it's ready when you are.

Printing is fast and very high quality in black and white. Reproduction of shades of grey is as expected, with crisp lines and borders. Scanning is good. Optically you can scan 1200dpi or move up to 4800 enhanced mode. Everything I need to scan is usually 300dpi or less which it does very quickly with a nice preview and auto-cropping software. It can immediately save the file as an image or load it into your default app.

Scanning/faxing/copying can be done by placing paper on the glass, or by folding out the paper feeder on top. This is pretty typical in most office devices.

Finally, double sided printing is a nice feature. My last printer could do it but you had to flip the paper around yourself. This printer takes care of that for you by sending the paper into the exit tray then pulling it back in to print on the second side.

Overall I'm giving this 4 of 5 stars. Here's what influenced the stars for me.
Quiet printer and great eco/power-savings functions. Fast printing at high quality. Small paper tray does not hold a full package of paper (convenience). Lack of included ethernet cable (also convenience). Too much software that all does similar functions (there are two programs that both do scanning).

UPDATE: I decided to go ahead and put it on the network and with the included software I can now scan and print across the network. Very easy to do - just plug and play, or if you want to customize (like giving it a static IP address on your home network) you can easily do that within the management software. Now the only thing I haven't done with it is fax - and for that I've got to find a phone jack somewhere close ;-).
