On the far right side of the control panel, additional buttons select functions such as AutoFit, to reduce or enlarge a document to fit a specific paper size, or Clone, to print multiple images of a document on a single page (a more intuitive moniker than the industry-standard 'N-up').Ī brick-size opening under the control-panel area serves as the unit's 150-sheet output tray. To the right of the LCD are two large, elliptical buttons that start and stop copy jobs to the left, two more buttons select the image type and the contrast levels.

Five round buttons underneath the LCD let you scroll through the menu to choose items, such as the paper size, the paper type, and the copy-quality settings. Located on the front panel is a thin, 16-character by 2-line LCD for displaying the SCX-4016's menu options.

The two sturdy carrying handles built into the SCX-4016's sides are a small but noteworthy design feature. The scanner's lid, which comprises the entire top of the unit, opens effortlessly on spring-loaded hinges that can hover 2 inches over the scanner's glass or be removed completely for scanning books or magazines. Multifunctions that stack a flatbed scanner atop a printer often look ungainly, but the SCX-4016 actually looks elegant. Measuring 18.6 by 17.1 by 13.9 inches (W, D, H), the SCX-4016 is just a bit larger and, at 25 pounds, a bit heavier, than an average-size laser printer. The multifunction drivers install on PCs running Windows 95 OSR2 or later or Mac OS 8.6 or higher. Following the printed quick-install guide, we connected the SCX-4016 to a PC via USB connection (there's also a parallel port option), and installed the paper, the toner cartridge, and the software in less than 10 minutes.

If the SCX-4016's features and $299 estimated street price attract you but an ADF remains a must, the otherwise identical Samsung SCX-4116 includes it for $50 more. Without a fax machine or an automatic document feeder (ADF), the SCX-4016 won't be able to accommodate a busy small business, but home-office folks should be satisfied with the SCX-4016's simple functionality. The Samsung SCX-4016 printer/scanner/copier is a no-frills multifunction with a sinuous, easy-on-the-eyes design.
