Samsung ProXpress M4070FR: wired black MFP with reversing duplex originals review

The exact model declares up to 42 one-sided Letter pages/min, compared with 40 A4. The service table separately declares up to 21 Letter or 20 A4 duplex images/min. Scanner images/min and copy rates are different figures. The current exact-model manufacturer page recommends 1,500–3,500 pages per month; an older service table’s broader M407x range of 2,000–4,000 is not substituted for that exact current recommendation. The 100,000-page duty ceiling remains separate. These are manufacturer declarations, not measured performance.

The operating guide, exact USA brochure and current manufacturer model specification establish a 250-sheet cassette plus 50-sheet multipurpose tray, with the ordinary-paper table supporting Letter, Legal and A4 at the declared 80 gsm capacity basis. The 2016 configuration list’s one-sheet bypass line conflicts with those operating sources and is not used as the base feed description. A 520-sheet expansion cassette is optional. Adjust the tray guides and the duplex-unit guide for the actual Letter/Legal or A4 position; match source, size and type in the device and driver. Suitable envelopes use the multipurpose path under original stock, orientation, adhesive and margin conditions. The special-media rear-output routine is separate from automatic duplex, which requires the appropriate closed return path. Clear Legal output before excessive stacking; the guide warns about more than 50 one-sided Legal sheets in the output area.

The exact model has a color CIS flatbed and a 50-sheet automatic reversing document feeder. The USA XAA list explicitly calls it RADF, so it supports automatic two-sided original capture without being single-pass. The feeder’s original range reaches 216 x 356 mm, with effective scan margins, while the glass is limited to 216 x 297 mm and its own margins. Letter and A4 fit both routes; Legal fits the feeder and is not assigned to the glass. Load feeder originals face up and suitable glass originals face down at the upper-left registration guide. Color capture does not provide color printed output.

The exact FR configuration has USB and wired Ethernet. The operating guide differentiates its 10/100/1000 network interface from other family configurations, while Wi-Fi is assigned to M387xFW. No built-in radio or Wi-Fi Direct arrangement is established for base M4070FR. Compatible Windows computer printing and scanning work over the reviewed wired network or USB setup with installed MFP software and a registered computer scan destination. A mobile device can use the supported local-network AirPrint arrangement through a suitable access point even when the printer is wired. Fax additionally requires a separate compatible analog LINE connection.

M4070FR uses the integrated D203 cartridge system. The exact USA table lists declared replacement yields of 3,000 pages for MLT-D203S, 5,000 for MLT-D203L, 10,000 for MLT-D203E and 15,000 for MLT-D203U, under ISO/IEC 19752. It separately declares a supplied 3,000-page standard cartridge. Some narrative brochure footnotes use an inconsistent neighboring model name; the exact model specification and compatibility table govern this supply list. Check regional markings and installed condition. A higher declared cartridge yield does not establish present remaining life, stock or running cost.

Compatible Windows MFP software supports USB and network computer scanning. The USB routine uses Scan to PC; network operation needs installed scanner components, an enabled Scan to PC destination and its registered ID/password, or compatible network TWAIN/WSD software. The guide’s WIA routine is USB-specific. Included PIN-release printing is a distinct driver Confidential mode: enable RAM Disk through SyncThru Web Service, send a compatible job with its password, then use Job Management > Secured Job at the numeric-keypad panel to release or delete it. Complex jobs can exceed RAM Disk capacity and may need optional memory. This is not an unlimited storage promise. AirPrint has its own certified-model, local-network, Bonjour/mDNS and IPP conditions; desktop PIN, scanning and duplex settings are not borrowed into the mobile plan.

The later user guide and current exact-model manufacturer table agree on an approximately 469 x 444.3 x 482.1 mm body, or about 18.5 x 17.5 x 19 inches, and 17.07 kg including consumables, about 37.6 lb. Measurements exclude handset and other accessories. An earlier service summary gives inconsistent heavier weight and slightly different width, so the later operating guide and exact model table govern this body description. Extended paper handling, rear access and lifting the scanner need additional working room. The US XAA configuration and manufacturer table establish a 110–127 VAC, 50/60 Hz edition; a separate 220–240 VAC edition also exists. Verify the actual rating label.
