Samsung releases SCX-3205 multi-function printers
LATTER DAY WILLIAM CAXTON Samsung has released its SCX-3205 and the SCX-3205W multi-function printers, which it claims do everything at the touch of a single button.
The SCX-3205 and SCX-3205W will be available in the UK from August at an estimated retail price of £124.99 and £169.99 respectively.
The Samsung Print Screen button on the SCX-3205 will allow punters to print exactly what they see on their PC screen at the touch of a single button.
The SCX-3205W flavour features Samsung's one-touch WiFi setting to make setting up a wireless connection quick and easy. It is also certified with WiFi Protected Setup to ensure the wireless connection is secure.
Both use Samsung's Anyweb Print software. This allows users to select, drag and drop specific content from web pages into a new blank page on their PC screen. It means that you can print out the stuff you want rather than several whole web pages.
The machines have dimensions of 388 x 299 x 234mm and weigh just 7.4kg. Samsung is targeting them for the home and small office market.
As part of the save a polar bear policy there is a soft power button on the front panel of the models that encourages consumers to turn them off when they aren't being used, rather than leaving them in sleep mode.
Both printers use Samsung's one-touch Eco-copy button, which means you can produce economical print outs by printing two pages of a document on just one sheet of paper.
Eco-copy reduces the amount of paper and toner used. This means that fluffy polar bears will keep their iceburgs for at least three more nano seconds. µ

Is it really that hard to make a power strip that doesn't deliver power where it isn't needed? It shouldn't be that hard to make devices that have their own way of telling the plug to turn itself off. It would just need to be a 1 or a zero type of thing, if the plug gets a signal it transfers power. If the plug doesn't get a signal, it doesn't transfer power. If the switching mechanism breaks, then you could have a way to go back to the old way, so that you could still use your stuff.
Someone explain to me why this is supposedly so damn hard? We can make billion transistor microchips, but we can't make a damn automatic on/off switch?
