The quick operation and high output will be a plus for those in a hurry. I was thoroughly pleased with the copying and scanning options despite the louder than desired operating noise. I suspect the reasoning for the noise was a trade-off in selecting a smaller motor spinning at a high RPM to have everything fit in such a compact body. This is a
reasonable trade-off as the SCX-4100 is indeed compact and with its stylish look, it could easily fit into any home office or dormitory. If you need a device that maximizes the performance to space usage ratio, the SCX-4100 is capable of satisfying your needs and should definitely be a product you don't overlook at your favorite retailer.
