OKI’s C532dn
The OEM’s subsidiary launched two new colour printers aimed at SMBs, and which “support today’s mobile- and cloud-based print workflows”.
eWeek reported on the launch of the C532dn and MC573dn, with both aimed at the SMB market “with growing mobile and cloud print needs”, and which are both said by the OEM to “follow the company’s focus on delivering printers that stand up [to the] needs of today’s small businesses”. The C532dn desktop colour printer and MC573dn colour MFP utilise OKI’s LED printhead technology, with the “solid-state units” containing “no moving parts […] reducing wear on the printer”.
Both printers reach a speed of 31ppm in both colour and monochrome, and have “optional trays” to expand paper capacity to 1,410 sheets, while an optional “user-installable” wireless module can add wireless connectivity”. The MC573dn has a seven-inch touchscreen for “quick access apps and settings”, while both machines feature IPSec encryption for security, alongside a Private Print feature to “release a print job after a user enters a PIN on the physical printer”.
The printers are both cloud and mobile-ready, with “optional connectors” allowing for linking to a “variety of cloud-based productivity and document storage platforms”, such as Microsoft Office 365, Google Drive and DropBox, and Apple AirPrint or Google Cloud Print, while users can also “elect to print” with OKI’s mobile print app on either Android or iOS.
