Our Verdict
The Samsung SCX-4521F is Windows Imaging Architecture compliant-in English, this means you just connect it to a PC with Windows XP and it will be recognised; no need to install any drivers. OS support spans across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Print quality is crisp, and the printer is relatively fast. It has the fastest scanner in its category with accurate scanning results. It continues its good run in the copying test as well, returning the lowest copying times and best quality. There are multiple modes of copying-ID card copy and poster copy. With an integrated Ethernet port and a toner duty cycle of 3,000 pages, the SCX-4521F is a good buy for SoHo users. It is not only a feature-rich performer, it comes with a good software bundle, increasing its value for money.
