The OEM has released the MC800 series of A3 “smart” MFPs.
OKI’s MC873
The new digital LED laser machines are said to “deliver fast print speeds and reliable performance for businesses of all sizes”, and include a smart extendable platform (sXP), OKI’s “embedded open platform offering enhanced workflow integration and document management”. The range includes the MC853 and MC873 MFPs, and is “well-suited” to SMBs and “departments within larger organisations”.
Among the features of the two printers are a “customisable” touch screen, programmable print and copy jobs and duplexing, as well as wireless and Ethernet connectivity. Both machines come in three versions: the dn (duplexing and network connections), dnct (duplexing, network connections and featuring a cabinet and second paper tray) and dnv (duplexing, network connections and three additional paper trays).
Print speeds vary depending on media size, with A4 colour and monochrome prints on the MC853 and MC873 reaching 23ppm and 35ppm respectively. With A3 paper, the MC853 reaches speeds of 13ppm while the MC873 reaches 20ppm, and both machines feature print resolutions of 1,200 x 600dpi, alongside copy and scan resolution of 600 x 600dpi. The printers also have Google Cloud Print and AirPrint compatibility.
In terms of paper capacity, the machines have a standard capacity of 400 sheets, while the dnct and dnv versions have respective capacities of 935 and 2,005 sheets. The colour cartridges for the MC853 and MC873 have yields of 7,300 pages, while another colour for the MC873 has a yield of 10,000 pages. In turn, the black cartridges for both have a yield of 7,000 pages and an extra MC873 black cartridge has a yield of 15,000 pages.
Tetsuya Kuri, OKI’s Vice President of Product Marketing for EMEA, commented: “Easy-to-use with fast print speeds, the new MC800 Series is an all-in-one solution to a wide variety of business needs. A sleek new design, user-friendly features and embedded sXP make these new devices ideal for taking control of document intensive processes within small to medium workgroups.
“In addition, they are perfect for supporting day-to-day colour and mono A3 and A4 print requirements for a broad range of businesses and industry sectors. Today’s organisations need intelligent, reliable devices that offer the flexibility to manage a range of different tasks. The new MC800 Series of smart MFPs enable SMBs to really take control of their document workflow and support a broad spectrum of business requirements.”
