The SCX – 4321 is a printer scanner and copier and it neatly puts itself in the office printer category where individuals require fast, no nonsense printing of a large volume of documents. Besides the printing abilities, it also doubles up as a scanner and copier. But is it as quick as four..three..two..one – printed? Let’s find out.

Design and Build Quality

The SCX-4321 comes in a singular gray colour. Based on your office surroundings, it may either look absolutely uninspiring or completely inconspicuous. Whichever way you see it, this MFP has been pretty well designed. This printer has a matte finish, so fingerprints don’t really pose a problem. Let’s have a quick tour of the SCX-4321 after the break. 

 

On the top we’ve got the copier and scanner functions and buttons, along with the Start and Stop button. The paper input and output slots are located at both, the top and the front of the machine and the cartridge is front loading as well. A detachable paper tray box is situated at the lower end to stack up all your printing papers together. The various functions on the machine itself allow you to adjust the darkness, type of paper, reduce the print size, copy it, scan to MS-Paint or e-mail and Toner save mode settings, as well. The menu option onboard allows you to adjust the machine settings, clean the drum, clear memory and report system data. Basically, all maintenance options can be adjusted on the printer itself.

There are a lot of plastics involved in the construction of the SCX-4321, yet it’s quite sturdy. It does have a bigger footprint than the ML-2951ND with a wider breadth and length. It has a height of 14.5 inches and a weight of 10.4Kg. Like most office printers, the SCX-4321 doesn’t disappoint (or impress) in the looks department. 

 

Features

This three-in-one laser MFP offers laser printing, colour scanning and digital copying features. It is capable of printing up to 20 papers per minute in A4 quality and has a first print out time of 11 seconds (from Standby mode) at a resolution of 600dpi. The copy out time stands at a similar 11 seconds time period. We’ve put these numbers to the test in our performance section. This machine has support for a wide variety of media sizes, including Legal, A4, Letter, Folio, Executive, A5 and A6 for print and Letter, A4 and Legal for copy functions.

How We Test

The Tech2 Labs receives many products every single week and each of them is tested with the utmost care and highest level of objectivity. There’s a constant effort to reduce and totally eliminate subjectivity. Each product is tested according to set test processes so the same test scenario is used.

Verdict
The ratings awarded to a product are derived from a number of tests and calculations, keeping certain important factors in mind. These factors consist of features, performance, quality and value for money. In case of software and some other categories, build quality might be replaced with ease of use or ease of installation. Products are compared with other products in a similar price range or product category.


Features
The features component of the score is rated based on the kind of features present on a particular product. Features are a big part of what people look for when they’re buying a new product such as a phone or a camera.

Performance
The performance score is derived from the benchmarks and tests run on the product. In case of the subjective scores, an average of the scores given by the group of reviewers is considered.

Build Quality
The build quality of a product is important so that it doesn’t fall apart after some use. The build quality scores from the way the product is designed and the kind of materials used in the product.

Value
Value for money comes from the fact that a cheap product is able to provide most of the performance of a higher priced product. Once again, value for money is judged by comparing pricing and performance of products in a particular price range or category.
