Okidata B8300 Printer Review

Ever walked into a large office or establishment that has an oversized machine that has endless paper trays and wheels because the overwhelming weight would be too heavy to move? These types of devices are designed to handle high-volume daily printing. For small or medium offices, it would take up too much space, but a large office would benefit greatly from having an Okidata B8300 laser printer. It weighs hundreds of pounds and takes up as much space as a desk, but users will notice an increase in productivity instantly.

The speed of 45 pages per minute does not take away from the overall quality. Okidata B8300 toner can produce a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi, which will be sufficient for standard text documents as well as complex graphics printing. Each month, the duty cycle is 200,000 prints, though for optimal life span, the monthly limit should not be reached. The 200 MHz processor fuels this device and provides the performance quality needed in a large office environment.

The one Okidata B8300 toner cartridge that is required holds only black printer toner and has the ability to produce up to 23,000 prints before expiring. Replacement toners can be purchased from a number of vendors online. A starter Oki B8300 toner cartridge is provided in the box with the printer to get users working as soon as installation is complete. The cost of maintenance over the years is kept low due to the high yield of the Okidata B8300 toner.

Memory is upgradeable, from 32 MB up to 288 MB. The maximum paper capacity is 500 sheets and a 200 MHz processor. Duplex printing and networking are available as well. The low cost of Oki B8300 toner keeps this unit affordable, while the fast output rate and professional quality make it an ideal machine for a large office with heavy duty needs.
