Manual of product B4600
Editorial note
The OKI B4600 printer stands out for several notable advantages that make it an interesting choice for work environments. With a printing speed of 26 pages per minute and a maximum resolution of 600 x 1200 DPI, it ensures fast and high-quality prints, ideal for professional use. Its 250-sheet paper capacity allows for handling a large volume of documents without frequent interruptions, thus contributing to increased productivity. Additionally, its reduced energy consumption in economy mode of 10 W is an asset for users concerned about the environment and energy savings. However, the OKI B4600 also has some drawbacks. Its incompatibility with Mac operating systems may frustrate some users, particularly those using Apple products. Furthermore, the internal memory of 32 MB may prove insufficient for processing large files, which could slow down performance during more demanding tasks. Although the printing speed is satisfactory, it may not meet the needs of very demanding work environments. Finally, the sound pressure level of 53 dB in print mode may be perceived as too high in quiet workspaces. Regarding writing scores, the user experience is rated positively, although limited compatibility may pose an issue. Performance receives a respectable score, but some aspects, such as memory, could limit its effectiveness. Energy consumption in economy mode is praised, as is the compact design that facilitates its integration into various spaces. However, the noise level and limitations regarding paper formats could detract from its appeal to some users. In summary, the OKI B4600 is a high-performing and energy-efficient printer, but it may not be suitable for all users due to certain limitations.Score details
