OKI C710dn Toner Review
OKI's C710dn is a workgroup colour LED printer
, designed for moderately serious use with five or six people using the machine. It may be hooked up through Ethernet, USB or parallel ports and also includes a duplexer for double-sided printing.
The front panel incorporates a bitmapped, mono LCD with a good backlight, which can show up to 4 rows of 16 letters. To the right are the standard menu controls, whilst to the left are buttons with respect to the help function and to indicate all error messages. On the extreme left is a big button with an indent, therefore it appears as though it might turn, nevertheless is actually the cover release, so you can get at the cartridges.
At the top of the front panel is a pull-down shelf, that is the multipurpose feed for as many as 100 sheets of particular media. Beneath this is a big 550-sheet principal tray. It is good to find a tray which can take a full ream of paper at a time.
The printer comes with both PCL and PostScript drivers for Windows as well as OSX, although no reference is made of Linux or UNIX support.
The typical nonsense over print speeds is evident on this machine, just like a great many others. OKI promises 32ppm for black pages and 30ppm for colour. Whilst we may not contest that colour prints are merely marginally slower as compared to black, the headline figures happen to be quite a bit greater than you will observe in normal use. Our five-page black text print, still greater than the typical length of European workplace documents, required 32 seconds, a speed of 9.38ppm, though raising the job length to 20 pages more than doubled the speed. The reason being the device waits 15 to 20 seconds before beginning to print the initial page of any document.
Perhaps the most interesting result coming from this specific printer is the effectiveness if duplexing. With many printers, duplex speed is around 50 % that of single-sided print. Here, though, our 20 page, single-sided document took 1:03 to finish, a speed of 19.05ppm, even though the same document printed duplex took merely 1:08, still 17.65spm.
The C710dn utilizes an inner duplexer, and so the paper doesn't need to be part-ejected out of the top slot and reversed back into the machine. There is simply no reason it should not be fixed to duplex by default, regarding resultant paper savings.
The printer's standard resolution of 600dpi is a good deal more than sufficient to create outstanding black copy that's crispy and clear, with a moderate gloss to the characters. Colour images are vibrant and dense, even though by default certain colours, particularly greens and blues, come through dark in comparison with original copies. Additionally, there are a few apparent registration issues, in which black text over coloured backgrounds displays white halos surrounding characters.
Our assessment photo print, at the printer's optimum 600 x 1200dpi, had gaudy colours and a large amount of absent details in darker areas of the image. This isn't the printer's good suit.
There are four consumables required to keep the C710dn going: toners, drums, fuser and transfer belt. The
OKI C710dn toner cartridges should be good for 11,000 and 11,500 ISO pages with, abnormally, the colour cartridges getting greater capacity. Drums are good for 20,000 pages black or 15,000 pages colour and both the fuser and transfer belt are rated at 60,000 sheets.
Even with the setup difficulties we discovered, this is a good workgroup colour printer. Although not really well suited for printing photographs, it's pretty good at everything else and is one of the finest units for duplex printing we have analyzed. With four different consumables to consider might be logistically awkward, but they possess long enough service lives for this to not be a lot of hassle.
