Using powerful HD colour printing technology, the Oki C710 laser toner printer produces sharp, crisp images at lighting speeds. The C710 is capable of producing monochrome prints at an incredible 32 pages per minute and full colour prints at up to 30 pages per minute. The C710 series comes in three standard configurations: the C710n which is fully network capable, the C710dn which has an added standard duplexing capability, and the C710dtn which has an expanded 530 sheet input tray capacity. A powerful 700 MHz processor and 256MB of standard memory help bolster this high-end systems performance. This unit is ideal for any professional home office, or small to mid-size businesses with high yield printing needs.
Design
The Oki C710's compact chassis is underscored by its 43.5 cm wide by 60.7cm deep by 38.9cm high measurements. The entire unit, including all three configurations, weighs only 27.5 kg right out of the box making it a reasonable solution for any personal desktop or even front office counter space. Connectivity options for the unit include a network interface of 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX Internal Ethernet and USB v2.0 and parallel ports. The Oki C710 toner and drum cartridges are very easy to access given that the entire lid of the unit swings up. The standard C710n's input tray capacity is 530 sheets, ensuring low user maintenance during large print jobs.
Advantages
There is hardly any noticeable drop off in speed from monochrome to full colour prints and the monthly duty cycle of up to 100,000 pages per month is by far one of the highest in its class. The Oki C710 offers exceedingly large toner capacities of around 11,500 sheeter per life cycle. Print quality keeps on pace with speed offering an astounding 1,200 by 600 dpi resolution on both monochrome and colour prints.
Disadvantages
The unit has a high number of consumables - the Oki C710 toner cartridges, image drums, fuser units, and belts must all be maintained. Other nit-picky disadvantages are a lack of PictBridge, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. In large area prints where a single colour is used some cross-hatching effects may arise.
