Okidata CX2731 Printer Review

The Okidata CX2731 MFP is a multifunction color laser printer designed for the small or mid-sized workgroup, with the full complement of scanning, copying, faxing, and printing capabilities. It can output up to 27 pages per minute in color and 31 pages per minute in black, but the cost of Okidata CX2731 printer toner supplies may be a bit high for those with budget constraints.

For color printing, output quality is of great importance, and the CX2731 delivers, with a maximum 1200x600 dpi resolution. It can also support duplex two-sided printing for convenience and to save paper costs, and has several quality modes that can prioritize the highest output quality or the most economical use of Oki CX2731 toner.

The control panel is easy to use, with a 3.5-inch display that can tilt up to 90 degrees for a better viewing angle. Dedicated buttons for speed dial numbers and job macros can help users accomplish frequent tasks, and this panel can even be flipped up to expose a full QWERTY keyboard for easier data entry. This is especially useful for the scanning function, as users can store and name files from the control panel, or even send them to an email address.

As is common with color models, the cost of replacing all four toners is a lot to handle. Each Okidata CX2731 toner cartridge can provide a yield of around 5,000 pages, so they do last for a long time under normal conditions. Unfortunately, the price of Oki CX2731 toner cartridges is a bit too high for the average small office to handle.

The best features of the CX2731 include its high-definition color printing and its fast scanning, thanks to its automatic document feeder. While it lacks a few conveniences such as wireless support, its biggest downside is expensive Okidata CX2731 toner.
