This laser-class device is made for large-volume print jobs and bigger workgroups. The Oki C711dn colour laser printer is notable for its consistent and reasonably fast print speeds, low costs per page, and the paper-saving auto-duplexer, but the Oki C711dn printer lacks essential features like a USB key port. Overall text quality is sub par when compared to other printers by the same company.
Design
The appearance of the Oki C711dn is somewhat similar to its predecessors and its siblings from the C711 line, but is slightly bulkier and heavier. The Oki C711dn LED laser printer is compatible with LAN, parallel, and USB connections to match with different kinds of working environments, and the networking and two-sided printing features are built-in. The C711dn printer runs on 256MB of RAM, which accounts for its speedy performance. The control panel is simple with an easy-to-read 4-line backlit LCD display for viewing the printer's status.
Advantages
The Oki C-711dn is good for bulk printing because of the 630-sheet paper capacity and the monthly duty cycle of 100,000 pages. The device is undeniably fast, clocking in speeds of up to 36ppm in monochrome and 34ppm in colour. Text documents look neat because of the 1200x600dpi resolution. The Oki C-711dn colour laser printer has flexible connectivity and networking options along with an automatic duplexer that does not compromise speed and quality.
Disadvantages
The industrial design is criticised for its bulky frame and weight, making it difficult to transport or manoeuvre the C711dn in cramped spaces. It does not have direct printing features like a USB port in front for flash drives, which can significantly help users save time and use the Oki C711dn LED printer as a standalone device. Text print is considered average, at best. The high initial cost of the Oki C711dn laser printer may also be a turn-off for budget-conscious users.
