Design

Measuring 494mm wide, 448mm tall, and 430mm deep and weighing 18kg, the Olivetti D-copia 284MF monochrome copier is a compact and sturdy unit with a digital copier, flatbed scanner, and network printer. The control panel spans the length of the device, with an organised set of controls, buttons, navigational input methods, and a small display screen. USB host, Ethernet, and USB 2.0 are the main interfaces for the D-copia 284MF laser printer, and the entire system depends on 256MB of memory. Standard paper handling is through a 250-sheet cassette and 50-sheet bypass feeder.

Advantages

The Olivetti D-copia 284MF mono laser MFP can print and produce copies in speeds of up to 28ppm, with the first copy out in approximately 6.9 seconds. The scan speed is at 35ipm, and it can produce up to 999 copies from an original document. The paper capacity is expandable to 800 sheets, while the memory is upgradeable to 768MB. The copier has a range of digital features like scan-once-print-many, N-up copy, auto duplex, and toner save mode. Printer supply costs are low as this machine only requires replacement of the affordable Olivetti D-copia 284MF black toner as the main consumable.

Disadvantages

The high initial price of the Olivetti 284MF copier could make users think twice about purchasing it. There's no Wi-Fi and there's no way to expand the memory and paper capacity. The D-copia 284MF multifunctional digital system is also a bit noisy.
