The SAMSUNG CLX-3160FN expertly prints, copies, scans and faxes, and offers the choice of brilliant color. It fits your needs and your space, weighing in at just over 45 lbs., and comes in compact size 18" x 16" x 19." Yet its capabilities are anything but small, especially with its computer-friendly USB interface and direct print features. This is one color laser printer that lives up to its name: multi-function.
 
Features
Impressive Speed and Memory
There’s efficiency in these numbers. Letter-size print and copy speeds are a swift 17 pages per minute for monochrome, and 4 pages per minute for color. Plus, SAMSUNG’s CLX-3160FN offers print resolution up to 2,400 x 600 dpi effective output, and enhanced scanning resolution of 4,800 x 4,800 dpi. Its integrated fax scans at 3 seconds per page with a 4 MB memory. That’s impressive!
Personal Printer Secretary
Consider the Smart Panel monitor your personal assistant. It checks the status of the printer for you, and lets you know if there’s a problem or concern. You can also buy toner online, and configure printer settings.
Innovative Toner Design
Toner changes couldn’t be faster - or easier. The mini toner cartridges are small enough to fit in your hand, making them easier to handle than bulky cartridges. Open the cover, pop out the old toner, pop in the new, and you’re ready to go
Feature-Rich Copying
The CLX-3160FN is big – and small – on copy features. It offers reduce/enlarge capabilities from 25 to 400 percent, as well as two-up and four-up copying, poster copying, and clone copy. It even has an ID Card Copy function, so both sides can be copied and printed on one sheet quickly and easily.
Quiet NO-NOISâ„¢ Technology
The CLX-3160FN is built with SAMSUNG’s exclusive NO-NOIS print engine. Unlike traditional printers, the toner cartridges are fixed securely in place, so it prints with just a whisper.
USB Simplicity
USB means the ultimate in simplicity and versatility. Print quickly – without using a PC – by connecting any PictBridge™ camera or phone directly to the printer. You can also connect USB memory to the printer and print instantly. Even when you don’t have access to a PC, you can save what you scanned directly to a USB memory.

1 of 5 Tech Support Can't Help Wednesday, September 10, 2008
centsmade from selden, ny  

I’ve had the clx-3160fn for a few months now; before that unit I had a Konica Minolta 2530dl color laser and a Samsung scx-4521f. The Konica Minolta had superior print quality and customer service was extremely friendly and helpful even after the warranty period. Scx-4521f worked flawlessly as an all in one but lacked color. I just sold the 4521, so now that left me with the clx-3160fn as the new all-in-one. Well guess what? I called tech support to find out why the fax wasn’t working and was told it wasn’t compatible with digital phone service. Now I’m stuck with a $500 fax machine that doesn’t work on Cablevision or Time Warner phone services.

4 of 5 Good for a Mac...Once you get it set up Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Chris from Inman, SC  
I like all the features of this MFC except for the fact that nowhere in the documentation or notes on the web did it indicate that to get the printer set up on a network, you have to set the printer up with a static IP address, gateway, router IP address, etc through the printer menu 1st. Then the mac will find it as a networked printer and you will then be able to change all the settings back to DHCP as well as manage it via the web admin page accessed through bonjour/rendevous Does take a bit long to print that 1st page if the pinter is in powersave mode, and VueScan will not recognize the scanner even though it is supposed to be compatible with it.

5 of 5 All in One Outstanding Multifunction Color Laser P Monday, August 25, 2008
Jessand from San Antonio Texas area  
Our multi function CLX-3160FN Printer, Fax, Copier and Scanner arrived so quickly much to our surprise. The packaging was perfect and set-up took hardly any time at all. The Delivery Company had no problem in handling the box all the way to our door and stated that he is very familiar with Buy.Com packages as he delivers quite a number of packages from them in our neighborhood-- the San Antonio, Texas area. We are so pleased with our purchase which has been long overdue both for our business and personal use. Thank you, Buy.Com for providing such exceptional price,value, easy to setup and ease of use for all functions plus and very important taking such good care with the shipment and timely delivery time. Truly professional in aspects of customer service. Thank you, Thank you.

4 of 5 full service all in one at economy price Monday, August 18, 2008
zacgianluke from new york , new york  
The unit has everything necessary to run a small business in a fairly small foot print model.The unit is tall but not very wide.The functions set up esily and the color copies are very good resolution.I was fortunate enough to get this model with a 200 dollar rebate which made it a fantastick deal.The only cons are the "paper tray" .Its the only area samsung saved design money on .Its on the flimsy side. You need to be carefull when restocking paper because improperly place sheets may jam. Other than the paper tray an excellent value in an "all in one".

5 of 5 Great value after rebate Monday, August 11, 2008
Al_in_Pahrump from Panorama City, CA  
The drivers that came with the printer did not work with my 24" 3.06 GHz iMac. I had to download a driver and that one worked. I have not used the FAX nor the scanner but the copy and printing functions are more than satisfactory. The printer is very quiet.

5 of 5 Print Quality Good Friday, May 30, 2008
Chris Knight from Clearfield UT  
Great printer. Print quality is good and the front USB jack is priceless. I stick in a thumb drive and can scan directly to JPG or TIF. Scan quality is only average but I am only using it for documents and other things I just need a quick digital archive of. I believe you can also print certain formats from a thumb drive. The toner cartridges are about half the price of HP ones which is nice. They are also easy to install due to their unqiue shape.

5 of 5 CLX-3160FN Works Great even in Linux Sunday, July 08, 2007
Christian K. from Fort Worth, Texas USA  
This all-in-one product really delivers high quality color and black and white copies, fax and printing directly or from the computer. In fact, the computer does not need to be on to use all of the functions. I use it with Windows and Ubuntu Linux without any problems.
