D-Color MF2603 Printer Review
Expert review of the D-Color MF2603 printer
The Olivetti D-Color MF2603 is perfect for small to medium-sized offices where an efficient multipurpose printer is needed to support day-to-day workloads. The MF2603 integrates all of the features expected of a mid-range device, and its ease of use is extended to the intuitive controls and simple loading trays. Any home office or enterprise that requires a hardworking device for printing, copying, scanning and faxing will be satisfied with the all-in-one MF2603.
Design
The Olivetti D-Colour MF2603 has a relatively compact design with a sturdy base and robust document feeder. It measures 514 mm x 550 mm x 603 mm. The 4.3-inch colour touchscreen positioned at the front of the device allows users to cycle through menus and access inputs with ease. The printer outputs documents in both colour and monochrome at a relatively speedy 26 pages per minute, with the first black and white page arriving in less than ten seconds and colour soon after. Interfaces include high-speed USB 2.0, Fast Ethernet 10/100 Base-TX and Compact Flash (optional).
Advantages
The Olivetti D-Colour MF2603 can handle up to 1,300 sheets, so it would be a perfectly capable device for medium to high print output. There is a standard gigabit network board and reverse ADF, so users will get the high-quality connections and features needed to support medium-sized workgroups. The MF2603 warms up in just 29 seconds from power on, which is ideal for any business setting. Optional extras can increase RAM memory and tray capacity. The Olivetti D-Color MF2603 is also cost-effective to run.
Disadvantages
The standard 667 MHz processor and 768MB RAM may be unable to support graphic-intensive workloads at larger offices. The Olivetti D-Color MF2603 also lacks mobile connections for easy printing from smartphones as well as some of the latest features and functionality available in Olivetti’s latest generation of office printers.
