Design

The Oki Microline ML5590eco measures 398 x 345 x 153mm. The robust chassis is in a grey colour, which fits in unobtrusively with most colour schemes. The print resolution is 360 x 360dpi. The printer connects with a USB cable or parallel interface. The machine prints using a black ribbon cartridge, which can produce two million characters. The print speed is up to 420 characters per second.

There are top, bottom and rear input paths to enable a convenient switch between paper forms and single sheets as well as the feeding of heavier papers and labels without interrupting the printing process. A built-in rear push tractor feed unit provides extra flexibility.

Advantages

The Oki Microline ML5590eco is a hard-working printer, sturdily built to cope in industrial workplaces. Oki’s energy-saving technology reduces the running costs significantly, and auto-park and low-tear helps reduce wastage.

It prints easily on cut sheets, multi-part forms and continuous feed paper, simultaneously producing up to five copies of a document. For added peace of mind, the printer comes with a three-year warranty.

Disadvantages

The Oki ML5590eco is a dot matrix printer that only prints in monochrome and offers no function for copying, faxing or scanning. For printing graphics and photographs or performing other functions, an additional printer would need to be purchased.
