Olivetti D-Color MF254 Printer Review

Expert review of the Olivetti D-Color MF254 printer

Our Verdict:

The Olivetti D-Color MF254 toner is designed to deliver high performance and reliability with maximum yield from consumable cartridges. The addition of a 9-inch touch panel streamlines the input process considerably and allows employees to tailor print and copy tasks to their needs. The MF254 stands out from the crowd with its colossal 6,650 sheet paper capacity when all extras are installed, while the 25-ppm output supports common daily tasks with ease.

Design

The Olivetti D-Color MF254 toner measures a maximum of 1820 x 818 x 1167 mm and is powered by an ARM Cortex A7 dual-core 1.2 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM, though the latter can be upgraded to 4 GB for more intensive workloads. The maximum print resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi, while scan resolution tops out at 600 dpi. The inclusion of NFC and Bluetooth supports AirPrint and Google Cloud Print on smartphones, and an integrated web browser allows users to print web pages directly. Its basic paper capacity is 1,500 sheets, but this can be increased with a large capacity tray.

Advantages

The Olivetti D-Color MF254 toner produces pin sharp prints and text at scale, and its interface and functionalities can be customised for specific needs. Widgets can also be added to provide notifications, updates, and notes. Mobile ready printing is welcomed in today’s “on the go” business landscape, as is the commitment to environmental friendly design. The printer features sleep mode to reduce energy consumption significantly, while the majority of external construction materials used are either recycled or recyclable. Its total paper capacity is very impressive, and there are a variety of finishes available including hole punch and external staple.

Disadvantages

The Olivetti D-Color MF254 toner outputs at 25 ppm, which is sufficient but lower than other multifunction systems in the same class. A fax needs to be added as an optional extra for true multifunction usage in business environments.
