Product Introduction

Samsung introduced the SCX-6545N in July 2009, marketing it as an alternative to A3 MFPs with all of the "functionality and benefits of a high-end A3 copier at an A4 price." For instance, it features an 80-GB hard drive (for advanced functions such as secure print and file storage), as well as optional document finishing, and expandable paper capacity (up to 3,240 sheets). The SCX-6545N is situated at the high-end of Samsung's A4 MFP family--at a rated print speed of up to 45 ppm, only the 55-ppm SCX-655N is faster. It also features Samsung's XOA Express Application, an open-development platform that enables creation of custom applications and workflows that may be accessed from the touch screen.
