Samsung MultiXpress SCX-6545N High Performance Laser Copier MFP Caters to Growing Market

”Research Show Companies Fail to Balance Capabilities With Cost”

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, announced today the release of the MultiXpress SCX-6545N, a Network-Ready Monochrome Multifunction Laser Copier with the capability of printing up to 45 ppm (pages per minute). With an MSRP of $4,999.00, the SCX-6545N is one of the most cost-effective MFP’s on the market-to-date, offering medium-to-large size businesses an alternative to current A3 copier options.

A recent Accenture study showed that although the A3 market is larger in dollar volume verses the A4 market, A3 paper (11x17) capabilities were utilized a mere 5 percent of the time opening the door for feature-rich A4 MFP copiers like the SCX-6545N at 20% less the cost.

“Companies are buying capabilities they don’t use, which costs them money, so they need to rethink their overall purchasing strategy” said Mr. Doug Albregts, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Information Technology Division, Samsung Electronics America Inc. “The MultiXpress series has great performance and features and a better value. For customers, especially in the corporate and government arena, concerned with maximizing their investment, the SCX-6545N copier is reliable, flexible and cost-effective.”

Performance and Efficiency

The SCX-6545N is geared towards medium-to-large size workplaces that require fast, high volume printing, up to 45 ppm in black and white. Even in duplex printing mode, the SCX-6545N is still capable of printing as high as 40 ppm, making it one of the fastest A4 printers in the market.

The SCX-6545N can quickly connect to any network environment with its high-speed gigabit Ethernet interface. For heavy network printing demands, the powerful 500 MHz CPU, 256MB of memory (expandable to 512MB), and PCL and PS3 emulation help alleviate bottlenecks resulting in increased performance and office efficiencies.

Samsung’s leading edge printing technology will let you focus on your work while it delivers your documents time and time again with a robust 200,000 max page monthly duty cycle.

Additionally, Samsung’s exclusive 800 x 480 7-inch color wide LCD touch screen and intuitive UI design is easy to read and to use.

Reducing operational cost is at the core of all Samsung printers. The SCX-6545N has one of the lowest costs of ownership in its class with a toner cartridge yield of up to 25,000 pages at a price of $99.00.

Flexibility and Security

The SCX-6545N offers all the functionality that businesses expect from a DMFP. The SCX-6545N can help increase business productivity with reliable performance, quality output, and simple maintenance. Adding in Samsung document management software makes it a full end-to-end solution.

Additional paper handling capacity can expand from 520 to 3,240 sheets, and the new 2-bin finisher and 4-bin mailbox provide paper sorting, collating and stacking mode functionality. The SCX-6545N is capable of handing a number of paper sizes and numerous media types like plain paper, envelops, labels, card stock and transparencies, for true versatility.

The 80GB hard drive allows businesses to manage and monitor network print jobs and print securely and efficiently enabling encryption, form printing and storage of scanned data.

Scan to anywhere functionality helps to distribute documents efficiently by scanning directly to email, FTP, SMB or client.

With User Authentication, Samsung adds an additional layer of security to help protect sensitive information in a shared workgroup environment.

Additionally, IT managers can remotely monitor and manage the performance of the SCX-6545N in real-time with additional solutions including SyncThru™ Admin 5 and Web Services.

“With our mid-to-large size customers looking to cut their overhead, our copiers are built with the right mix of price and performance,” said Ken Colby, Director of Printer Product Marketing for Samsung Electronics America, Inc. “The SCX-6545N bundles the printer, copier, and scanner and solution functions into one convenient package. In essence, you are getting all the functionality and benefits of a high-end A3 copier at an A4 price.”

Environmental Attributes

The SCX-6545N is conscious of the environment in which it operates. Its integrated automatic duplex printing feature potentially reduces paper and enables businesses to reduce costs and paper waste.

Compliant with ENERGY STAR 1.1, the SCX-6545N will reduce power consumption automatically when not in use by switching to sleep mode after a set time of inactivity. At only 55dBA, the SCX-6545N operates at a conversational level, enabling convenient placement in the workplace without disturbing the ambiance.

Samsung also offers its S.T.A.R. program that allows users to easily recycle their used SCX-6545N toner cartridges at no cost. Hardware recycling is also a breeze with EnviroSync which allows Authorized Samsung dealers to recycle old hardware on behalf of businesses who are replacing old product with new Samsung printers.
