Manual of product B401d
Editorial note
The OKI B401d printer stands out for its exceptional print quality, with a maximum resolution of 2400 x 600 DPI that ensures clear and precise documents, ideal for professional use. Its print speed of 29 pages per minute effectively meets printing needs, even in demanding work environments. Additionally, the automatic duplex printing feature contributes to eco-friendly use by reducing paper consumption. However, the lack of network connectivity, particularly Ethernet and Wi-Fi ports, limits wireless printing options, which can complicate its integration into a modern office. Furthermore, the limited compatibility with Mac systems may pose issues for some users. Weighing 11 kg also makes moving the printer challenging in tight workspaces. Finally, the 64 MB internal memory and the paper capacity limited to 250 sheets can lead to frequent interruptions during high-volume printing. Overall, the OKI B401d offers good value for money considering its performance and print quality. However, users should be aware of its limitations in terms of connectivity and capacity to ensure it meets their specific needs.Score details
