Oki C5100 Laser Printer Can Actually Save You Time And Money
The Okidata C5100 laser printer is performing very well for its cost. There is one downside about the printer, which is that it is quite big, so in case you purchase it, it'll take up a large space on your desk. But when size is not a concern this is the best printer for you.
There are many features optional on the Okidata C5100. First, its single-pass engine design will print up to twelve color pages a minute and up to twenty black and white pages a minute. This makes it one of the speediest printers in its price range. The Okidata C5100 also has a 250-page feeder, and an auto-duplex unit is also optional separately. A network-ready 10/100 Ethernet port and USB 2.0 connectivity finish off its features.
This printer has four different toner cartridges. Every toner has a different color. These colors are black, cyan, yellow and magenta. This is a very effecient system, because if one color ink goes empty, you have no need too to replace the whole toner. You just replace that color ink. The Okidata toner prints less pages than a standard toner. A complete set costs about $150 for a branded toner, less for a generic.
The solid ink made by the specific brand have noticeably higher costs. Some websites had the pack of four toners priced at four hundred dollars! I would recommend the generic branded toners because they perform the same job at a lower price.
The Okidata 5300 is also made by the previously mentioned brand. This printer has double the RAM as its predecessor, and its processing speed is twice that of the old model. The speed of its printing has stayed the same, the Okidata 5300's ink prints color pages at a rate of twelve per minute, and black and white pages at twenty per minute.
I hope this introduction to these wonderful color laser printers has helped in telling about the various features the two printers have and the costs of the ink toners that people always take into consideration when purchasing a printer. Ink costs are constantly a concern no matter what printer model is purchased, so take the time to research and compare ink costs along with printer costs.
The Oki c5100 printer features a single-pass engine design that allows it to process 12 color pages, or 20 b/w pages, per minute and it contains a 10/100 Ethernet port and USB 2.0 connectivity. It comes with four separate toners, so the entire ink cartridge does not need to be replaced if you run out of one color. The Oki toner, however, yields less pages than a typical toner, and a complete set of generic toner costs about $150. Another available model, the Okidata 5300 has twice the RAM and processing speed of its predecessor. Printing speed remains at 12 color pages, or 20 b/w pages, per minute.
