Manual of product B401dn
Editorial note
The OKI B401dn printer stands out for its solid performance and practical features. With an impressive printing speed of 29 pages per minute and a built-in duplex printing function, it proves ideal for efficiently managing a large volume of documents. Its LED printing technology ensures satisfactory image quality with a maximum resolution of 2400 x 600 DPI, which is sufficient for most professional needs. However, several drawbacks are worth noting. The lack of compatibility with Mac operating systems limits its use for some users. Additionally, while the resolution is adequate for standard prints, it may not meet the expectations of users requiring very high-quality prints, such as graphic work or photographs. The absence of Wi-Fi connectivity and an internal memory of 64 MB may also restrict its use in more complex work environments. Finally, its weight of 11 kg can pose challenges for those who wish to move the printer frequently. Overall, the OKI B401dn offers good value for money, especially for work environments requiring fast and efficient printing. With positive writing scores, particularly in user experience (80) and value for money (85), it positions itself as a wise choice for those who prioritize performance and functionality.Score details
