The MC360 MFP is an incredibly capable multifunction printer designed to do many things well. A 4-in-1 device, it prints, scans, faxes, and copies. A number of innovative features, such as banner printing on sheets up to 4 ft., an oversized output tray, and a monthly duty cycle of up to 35,000 pages make this a perfect choice for any busy office requiring a powerful and versatile multifunction unit.
Design
Dimensions are very compact for an office printer considering all it does. It has a 50 sheet ADF (positioned just above the flatbed scanner), adjustable paper clasps, and can scan, copy, or fax large documents. Print speeds are up to 20 pages per minute in black, 16 pages per minute in colour, with resolution up to 1,200 x 600 dpi. Paper capacity is a 250 sheet drawer with a 1 sheet bypass tray. Connectivity options are 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, fax, or Hi-speed USB 2.0, with versatile scan-to options such as e-mail, USB flash drive, or networked PC. The unusual shape and oversized output tray of this unit makes it ideal for large jobs.
Advantages
The Oki MC360 toner printer is a powerful machine capable of meeting the heavy and highly specified demands of a busy office environment. It allows you to walk away from large scans or print jobs and not have to worry about paper running on to the floor. Quality and speed is excellent in all modes of operation, and the versatile connectivity options can be very convenient when it comes to getting documents to the intended destination.
Disadvantages
While this unit is very powerful, setting it up is not as intuitive and user friendly as other printers. For instance, getting scan capability to work through the network requires some extra steps. All the power and versatility that comes with this printer has bit of a learning curve in regards to set up and proper usage. Of course, this won't be a problem for offices with a trained IT staff, but may not be the easiest printer for someone who isn't technically savvy.
