The Oki C823 printer range offers excellent LED laser printing technology in an A3 format that’s perfect for retail and small businesses, as well as mid-sized offices. The combination of the printer’s reasonable price point, wireless connectivity, speed and print resolution makes it a great choice for anyone on a smaller budget looking for an A3 all-rounder that doesn’t compromise on quality. It works with Google Cloud Print and is compatible with Windows, Mac and other operating systems.
Design
A simple, professional design means this printer can fit in with any office or workplace, and its relatively compact size makes it ideal for smaller business or retail premises, as well as offices that are short on space. It comes in rather typical off-white and dark grey, and has a 300-sheet input tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, making it a great choice for anyone who needs to print multimedia or marketing materials on a regular basis. There is a small display screen with top-facing push buttons for ease of use.
Advantages
One of the Oki C823‘s biggest advantages is its print speed, which is 23ppm when printing in both black and white and colour. It also has a first page print speed of just 14 seconds, which is very impressive for a compact A3 printer such as this. Part of this is due to the LED printing technology, which, when used in conjunction with genuine The Oki C823 toner cartridges, produces high-quality prints with a resolution of 1200 x 600dpi. Other advantages include wireless-ready connectivity and its energy saving features, such as Deep Sleep mode, which powers down the printer to just 0.5 watts when it’s not being used.
Disadvantages
There are very few disadvantages to the Oki C823 printer if you’re looking for a hardworking, high-quality A3 printer, but the large media capacity increases the cost of ownership. The LCD panel shows basic information, however a larger touchscreen display found in some competitor machines allows a more comprehensive feature set to be accessed.
