Okidata MB260 Toner
Oki MB260 Toner Cartridges

Mid-volume offices with increasing daily needs and a small space to work in should seek equipment that can perform multiple tasks but can sit on a standard desktop. The Okidata MB260 is the ideal laser printer for offices of this nature. This unit has the ability to print and make copies in black-and-white, but it can scan in color. Compatible with all major operating systems, the MB260 can connect to a single computer via USB or parallel port and it can be shared in a network through the ethernet interface.

Because it is a monochrome unit, only a single Okidata MB260 toner cartridge is used and it holds only black printer toner. Though a lower-capacity starter Oki MB260 toner cartridge is provided, the standard toners for this unit can last up to 23,000 prints. Online, various third party vendors offer competitive prices for replacement Okidata MB260 toner.

The scanner is a flatbed surface with a 36-bit internal color depth and an interpolated resolution of 2400 dpi. It takes about 4 seconds to scan a document and the built-in automatic document feeder holds multiple pages and feeds them through the machine one at a time to allow continuous scanning or copying. The copy machine has resizing options and can make up to 99 duplicates from one original. Duplex copying is available for documents with dual-sided print.

Whether making copies or just printing, the Oki MB260 toner can produce a maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi, which will produce professional-level documents. It comes with a memory of 32 MB and a 100 MHz processor. The standard input tray holds 250 sheets, the output tray holds 100 sheets and there is a single-sheet bypass tray for alternative media. A control panel allows users to monitor Okidata MB260 toner levels and manage jobs. All of these are features that make the MB260 a solid office laser printer.
