This colour multifunction device is praised for its solid performance and excellent print quality, which small offices and professional workgroups can enjoy. The Oki C3530 MFP printer is a speedy and efficient device, too, but it is criticised for the mediocre to sub-par scan quality and the overall size, which is comparably oversized when compared to the smaller and more compact options from the competition.
Design
Measuring 547mm deep, 447mm wide, and 521mm tall, the Oki C3530 MFP colour laser printer is rather large and bulkier than other all-in-one printers of its kind, but that is because it is designed to be a powerful workhorse for the bulk printing needs of a small workgroup. The Oki C3530 colour multifunction printer combines the convenience of a speedy fax machine, an efficient copier, and a flatbed colour scanner with a 50-page automatic document feeder. A single user can connect the C5350 MFP to a PC via USB, or share it with a network via Ethernet.
Advantages
Although aimed at offices, the Oki C3530 MFP printer offers versatile media handling so users can get creative with their documents and presentations. It can be shared by up to 5 users at a time and speed isn't compromised because of the generous 128MB RAM. The Oki C-3530 MFP laser printer offers a super G3 33.6Kbps fax machine running on 1.5MB of memory, and the flatbed scanner is capable of scanning directly to a USB flash drive or a network. The device is reasonably fast, with speeds of up to 20ppm in monochrome and 16ppm in colour.
Disadvantages
Despite the high scanner 4800 dpi resolution of the scanner, the output could use a little more improvement. The copier of the Oki C3530 multifunction printer needs to be faster, too. Another issue is the low-yield starter ink cartridges that comes with the package. Some users might find the Oki C3530 printer noisy to operate and difficult to transport because it weighs 29kg.
