With the Oki C9850, users can enjoy consistent colours and sharp text documents in true black. The intuitive controls and simplistic control panel offers a user-friendly experience for employees and first-time users, and the diverse media handling options encourage users to be creative with their output. However, the C9850 may take up more space in a small office and it can be expensive for the budget-conscious environment.
Design
The Oki C9850 A3 colour printer is a laser-class device running on a speedy processor with 1024MB of built-in memory. It weighs approximately 77.4kg and is feature-packed with networking options and USB 2.0-compatible configurations. The minimal controls on the Oki C9850 printer make it easier to understand and operate. The C9850 also comes with a hard disk drive, an auto-duplexer, and a high-capacity paper feeder (up to 2120 sheets).
Advantages
The high-yield print cartridges guarantee 15,000 to 30,000 pages per use. The Oki C-9850 can easily be connected to a PC via USB 2.0 or integrated into a small network via Ethernet. The device prints in high 1200x1200dpi resolution for crisper text and accurate graphics. The Oki C9850 colour laser printer is fairly easy to operate because of the intuitive control panel with a larger display screen.
Disadvantages
The Oki C9850 is distinctive for its large and heavy frame, which is common to most Oki printers. Compatibility is limited to older Windows and Mac operating systems and there is no built-in Wi-Fi configuration, which can be useful to reduce cable clutter. The high initial cost of the Oki C9850 may be a turn-off, while the expensive cartridges make it quite costly to run in the long-term. The warranty is only limited to a year, and when it is operating, the C-9850 emits noticeable sound. Printing on smaller media like index cards and labels can be tricky.
