Design

Measuring 395mm tall, 369mm deep, and 268mm wide, the Oki B410dn laser printer is fairly compact for a small office, but has limited mobility because it weighs 11kg. The boxy frame's centrepiece is the small control panel with the small display screen. Connectivity is provided by a parallel and USB 2.0 interface, but it can also be integrated into a network via Ethernet.

Advantages

Ethernet connectivity is present so it can be shared by a small workgroup, but it can be connected to a single PC via speedy USB 2.0. An optional 530-sheet paper tray and additional RAM increases the efficiency of the Oki B410dn. Print quality is impressive and colour graphics do not lose their detail even when they are printed in monochrome. The solid and sturdy build is another selling point of the Oki B410dn printer for heavy-duty jobs. Users can also save time and resources with the fast print speeds and automatic duplexer.

Disadvantages

The B410dn printer only prints in monochrome, limiting its use to document printing and black-and-white graphics. Setting up the machine can be tedious because of the complicated software and the poor LCD display screen. Another problem with the Oki B410dn mono laser printer is the old-fashioned boxy design, which is criticised for the lack of aesthetic taste. The consumables for the Oki B-410dn are expensive, making the device pricey to run.
