Oki B840 Printer Review
Expert review of the Oki B840 printer
This series of workplace printers from Oki is wonderfully versatile and very reliable, and would be a great addition to any small or mid-sized office that wants great printing results without having to sacrifice too much space. Despite being able to print up to A3, the Oki B840 range has a footprint of an A4 printer, and will easily fit on any desktop of work surface. It is also very easily integrated, making it simple to use and a good choice for shared working areas as well traditional office spaces.
Design
One of the main benefits of this range of printers from Oki is its small size. The Oki B840 measures just 14.68 x 19 x 17.7 inches and weighs a minimum of 24kg. The B840dn and B840dtn are both slightly larger and heavier than the B840n due to their extra features, but they are both appropriately sized for small and mid-sized offices. The Oki B840 features a digital LCD display that is easy to use.
Advantages
The Oki B840 range’s main advantages are its small size and its reliability, combined with its low running costs. This small machine can produce the same high-quality prints at similar print speeds as many printer models that are up to twice the size, and offers money saving options by giving you the opportunity to print high quality business cards, documents and labels in-house. This mono printer has a print speed of 40ppm in A4 and 22ppm in A3, and a print resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi. The B840dn comes with integrated duplex printing as standard, while the B840dtn also comes with duplex, networking and an extra tray.
Disadvantages
The Oki B840 is strictly a mono printer so colour graphs, charts and images will need to be printed on a second machine. The LCD is simple and only offers minimal information, unlike the touchscreen displayed found on more modern competitors to the Oki B840.
