Okidata B431 Printer Review

Having a reliable printer in an office is crucial to the overall production. A machine like the Okidata B431 has the speed and quality to handle the daily needs of mid-size offices. This is a dedicated laser printer, so no other functions are available. What it can do is print at speeds up to 38 pages per minute and produce a resolution of 1200x1200 dpi created by the Okidata B431 toner. This quality is good enough for professional environments.

A single Okidata B431 toner cartridge comes in the box upon purchase so users can start printing as soon as printer is set up. Once set up is complete, the standard warm up time is about 20 seconds. Once the job is being processed, the first page out will print in about 5 seconds. A 64 MB of memory is built-in as is the 330 MHz processor.

The one Oki B431 toner cartridge holds only black printer toner, making this a monochrome device. Standard-capacity Okidata B431 toner has a maximum print capacity of up to 4,000. Users that would rather spend more for toners that have a higher yield can get the high-capacity Oki B431 toner that can produce up to 10,000 prints.

Regardless of the operating system that is used for the office computers, the B431 will be compatible. It offers connection via Parallel and USB ports as well as an ethernet interface that allows this machine to be used in a shared environment. It is compact enough to fit on any desk top, but can produce up to 80,000 pages per month. There are two input trays that hold a total of 780 sheets, and a 100-sheet bypass tray for alternate media. The output capacity is 250 pages. Designed for a medium or large office, the B431 is among the best on the market.
