Along with the three functions of color printing, scanning, and copying, the CLX -2160N is stylish and compact enough to be operated on a regular-size desk. With a unique circular toner capable of printing 2,000 black-and-white copies, or 1,000 color copies, the product's weight and size have been noticeably reduced, while toner replacement is easier than ever with a simple front-loading process. In addition, Samsung's patent low-noise design technology - Non-Orbiting Noiseless Optic Imaging System (NO-NOIS) - has been utilized to assure quiet operation in any office environment.
Another impressive feature of CLX -2160N is its easy-to-use diverse functions that minimize the time needed for computer connection, printing, scanning, and copying. The product uses a USB connection to enable scanning and printing without a PC, and storing scanned images in USB memory. Popular image formats like TIFF, BMP, JPEG, and PDF can be read and printed with the USB. Of particular note, the ID-copy button allows one-touch automatic copying of both sides of an ID for more convenient use at banks, travel agencies, correspondent agencies and other places where IDs often need to be copied.
The CLX-2160 series provides up to 2400dpi resolution for sharp color printing, along with printing 16 black-and-white copies per minute and 4 colors. Among the CLX-2160 series, the CLX-2160N is an all-in-one unit with a networking function, capable of supporting Samsung's SyncThru network program, for optimal operation of a multi-user network environment.
Senior Vice President Lee Jang-jae of Samsung's Strategic Marketing Teams noted: olor laser all in one markets are expanding rapidly all over the world. The demand for all-in-one units is especially high among SOHO and small business users. As for the company's strategy in the color laser market, he explained: ust as Samsung Electronics succeeded in pioneering the personal color laser printer market with the CLP-300 series, we will focus our core competency in expanding the personal color laser all-in-one market worldwide through the CLX-2160N series. Moreover, we intend to remain a step ahead in our development of innovative products that satisfy the various needs of consumers.
Global Printing
Samsung also announced plans to broaden its presence in the business printing market worldwide through a new global alliance program. The company will now offer total printing solutions for businesses based on optimized software applications.
For this, Samsung has a technology alliance with IBM, the well-known global business enterprise organization, and has developed a community of Solution Printing Partners [SP3] to help deliver a new category of integrated total printing solutions. In addition, Samsung plans to aggressively step up efforts to develop its own solutions through the acquisition of professional expertise.
Samsung Electronics has entered into a collaborative arrangement with IBM for the sharing of technology related to IBM's BOO (Business Output Optimization) and JScribe. With the JScribe platform technology embedded inside Samsung's B2B Printer/MFPs, this will enable Samsung to more easily develop optimal solutions for the particular needs of individual customers. Samsung Electronics has already demonstrated it global competitiveness in a fast-changing business environment in which customer demands have become increasingly more diverse and complex. JScribe Solutions applications and Samsung JScribe enabled printer/MFP devices are planned to be available worldwide from the first half of 2007, starting with the European region.
Mr. Ian Legg, Director of the Samsung Electronics European Solution Marketing Group noted: "Based on the success of Samsung Electronics printers in the small-business sector, we are well-positioned to expand our presence in the global business printing market." Also, he went on to add: "Now that Samsung has built a cooperative relationship with world-leading providers of printing solutions, we look forward to assuming a global leadership in the provision of total business printing solutions, in the near future."
