OKI C511DN Toner Cartridges

OKI C511dn Printer Description

Office users will enjoy the host of features available from the OKI C511DN which make it such a popular business printer.

In terms of producing quality results, this machine benefits from a combination of ProQ2400 multi-level output as well as high definition toner. Both of these will allow business users to enjoy consistency in their printing on a range of media types.

The printer’s versatility is proven by the fact it can produce prints across a wide range of document sizes from A6 to A4. Additionally, the machine has a maximum paper capacity of 880 sheets.

A necessity for the modern day office environment, there is Ethernet connectivity offered as standard so that the machine can easily be connected to your office network.

Helping to cut down on your paper expenditure is the printer’s auto duplexing (double-sided printing) that is offered as standard.

An intuitive Eco mode is able to adjust print speed and fuser temperature automatically to save energy. It can also see its energy consumption reduced to less than 2.5W when in Deep Sleep mode.

OKI C511dn Expert Review

As a printer best suited to a small office where print demand is high, the OKI C511DN succeeds in providing an affordable workplace printer.

Though its footprint means it can easily fit in the home office without taking up too much space, this printer is still more beneficial to a business. This is due to its good print quality for documents. Additionally, automatic double sided printing is another plus point for office printing.

The printer’s capable of printing a variety of paper sizes and weights and can print everything from letters and reports to business cards and posters.

In terms of print speed, the first colour page will appear in 8 seconds with the pages that follow being printed at 26ppm (30ppm in mono).

When it comes to energy consumption, OKI’s eco mode automatically adjusts print speed and fuser temperature to save energy and time on one and two page print jobs while a Deep Sleep mode reduces energy consumption to less than 2.5W. When the device is out of use for an extended period of time, Auto-Off mode automatically powers off the printer.

Whilst the cost of replacement toner cartridges can be seen as a negative, the prices on Cartridge People represent good value for money, especially when you consider this printer could go through thousands of pages a month in a busy office.

As can be the case with printers such as the C511DN, photo quality can suffer in comparison to the high page count. Depending on the number and size of the images you’re likely to print, it’s a point worth considering before choosing this OKI model.
