The Oki MC342dnw A4 colour multifunction printer is a versatile all-in-one device that delivers high quality results on a wider range of media without compromising speed and running costs. With built-in fax and Wi-Fi, there is no need to buy additional office equipment and users can reduce cable clutter. The Oki MC342dnw colour laser printer has features that help save time and the environment, too, but a few setbacks affect its overall efficiency.
Design
The universal design of the Oki MC342dnw colour laser MFP makes it easier to operate and set-up despite its 29Kg bulky frame that measures 509mm deep, 444mm tall, and 427mm wide. Powered by a 533MHz processor, the MC342dnw runs on 256MB of RAM with basic connectivity via USB 2.0 and Ethernet. The somewhat busy operator panel features an alphanumeric keypad, six navigation buttons, one-touch operational buttons, and a blue backlit graphics LCD screen. There is a 33.6Kbps fax modem and a capacity for 350 sheets.
Advantages
The memory is expandable to 768MB. There is a 50-sheet RADF to help save resources and hasten document production. The print speed in monochrome is up to 20ppm, and results are sharp and crisp on a wider range of media types. The fax memory can store 200 pages in its memory. The Oki MC342dnw LED laser printer is ready for wireless network configuration and mobile printing. The three-year warranty of the Oki MC342dnw printer gives users peace of mind. The network-ready Oki MC-342dnw wireless colour printer can use low-cost Oki MC342dnw colour toner cartridges in comparison to laser toners from competing models.
Disadvantages
The MC342dnw 4-in-1 MFP is slow when printing colour pages, and it does not produce very clear copies. Users may need to download additional drivers if they want to install the Oki MC342dnw on a computer that runs on Windows 7. The device is slow to warm-up and noisy when printing.
