The Oki C5850DN A4 colour laser printer is specifically designed for speed and bulk printing in small workgroups sharing a single-function printer through a network. The Oki C5850DN is integrated with a speedy processor and upgradeable RAM to handle complicated and large-volume printouts, but it is quite bulky, heavy, and only good for printing documents.
Design
The Oki C5850DN is a very compact printer that uses the single-pass digital LED electrophotographic printing process with 4 ink cartridges. It is connected to a PC via high-speed USB, and can be integrated into a network via Ethernet. The C8580DN is actually an LED printing device measuring 563.5mm deep, 435mm wide, and 339.5mm tall, and weighs about 26kg when all consumables have been installed. The C5850DN is quite speedy, with 64MB of RAM running on a 200MHz processor. The control panel is small but angled for easy access, and there is a small display screen that lets users know about the printer's status at one glance.
Advantages
Speed is one of the selling points of this laser printer because it warms up and prints fast, at up to 26ppm in colour and 32ppm in monochrome. The input capacity is upgradeable to 930 sheets because of the optional paper tray, while the straight paper path of the Oki C5850DN reduces the occurrence of paper jams. The Oki C5850DN colour LED laser printer is also praised for its network-friendly configurations and high capacity black toner.
Disadvantages
Very detailed photos and graphics may not look too impressive because the Oki C5850DN LED printer automatically adjusts the colour balance. Size is another issue because it weighs 26kg, which limits mobility. Another concern is the noise level of the Oki C-5850DN, which reaches 55.6dBA and can be disruptive in some working environments.
