Editorial note

The OKI Microline 490 printer stands out with its impressive printing speed of 475 characters per second, making it an ideal choice for users seeking increased productivity. Its remarkable longevity, with a print head capable of operating up to 400 million characters, ensures durability that reduces maintenance needs. Additionally, its quiet operation at 56 dB is a major asset for noise-sensitive work environments. However, the lack of color printing may disappoint those who need visually appealing documents, especially for presentations. The maximum resolution of 360 x 360 DPI, while acceptable for standard prints, may not meet the requirements for jobs needing higher image quality, such as detailed graphics. Furthermore, the limitation to 5 simultaneous copies could slow down the process for those who need to print multiple documents at once. Regarding connectivity, the wired option ensures a stable connection, but it may be seen as a drawback in an increasingly wireless world, limiting usage flexibility. Finally, while its compact dimensions make it easy to integrate into various spaces, its weight of 7430 g may make transport less convenient. Overall, the OKI Microline 490 offers good value for money due to its robustness and efficient printing capability, although some aspects, such as its connectivity and printing limitations, may influence the choice of some users.
