Samsung CLX-4195FW Color Laser Multifunction Printer Driver and Software

The Samsung CLX-4195FW offers most of the basics you’d probably expect from a color laser MFP, from high speed to full MFP features. This alone is enough to make it potentially good for a micro or small office with light to medium printing needs.

But it goes beyond the basics with extras like a color touchscreen control panel and Wi-Fi Direct, which makes it easy to connect from a smartphone, tablet or laptop. If you can take advantage of these extras, it can be an even better fit.

A 4.3-inch screen makes it easy not only to select menu options for copying, faxing, and the like, but also to change printer settings and even set up features like Wi-Fi Direct. After you’ve used it for a while, you may notice that traditional controls – with buttons and a small text-only LCD – seem painfully limited.

Extras like a touchscreen are nice to have, but without solid foundations they wouldn’t be particularly important. In addition to printing, faxing, or scanning from the computer using commands, the Samsung CLX-4195FW can also scan to a computer from computers, scan or print from a USB flash drive using front-panel menu commands, and it can be used as a standalone copier and fax machine become.

It can also be used as a direct email sender, although it does not work with email servers that require SSL. This means it may not work with the email system you use.

Other key features include a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF) for scanning multi-page documents as well as legal-sized pages, as well as Ethernet and standard Wi-Fi support, as well as Wi-Fi Direct.

Unfortunately, handling paper is not a strength. The single tray only has a capacity of 250 sheets. While this should be enough for most micro and small offices, there is no option to add more if needed, limiting the printer to medium-duty use. Also notable for its absence is a duplexer (for two-sided printing), also as an option.
