PageManager's workspace represent any associated applications you have installed, in addition to print, copy and fax. You can, therefore, open the appropriate OLE-compliant program directly, including your email client if you have one. It became apparent during testing, however, that using the Samsung SmartJet's cartridge eject button to swap cartridges causes problems during print runs. Using the software removes this problem, however, and allows the software to keep track of ink consumption. Print and scan quality are disappointing compared to dedicated inkjet printers, but still better than most of the devices in this review.

In colour modes, the black is quite good for a CMY engine, but still isn't as good as true black and uses three times as much ink. The Samsung SmartJet won't sit well in a paper-based office. Its software is cumbersome and it's slow and limited in operation. As a low-cost option for a cramped home office or single user, it might have some appeal, but you'd be better served by any of the other devices in this review. All rights reserved.
