The Good Old Okidata C5200 Printer Using 42127404 Toner
Ever since the Okidata C5200 printer and 42127401 toner was released, it has been regarded as one of the best low-cost color printers in its time. The primary reason for all the success is its price. At $800, it was the most affordable colored laser printer. Let us look at it again and see if it can still beat the latest laser printers available.
Speed is an essential factor that should be present in any office printer. A couple of people may be using the printer at any given time. If it is too slow, it will be overwhelmed and the users will need to wait until it is finished printing. For any laser printer, it should exceed 18 pages per minute for the monochrome prints. The Okidata was able to print at 24 pages per minute for monochrome and 16 pages for colored prints. The speed makes it a good choice.
Speed is not always everything. The text and image should be clear and sharp enough. As for the text quality, the Okidata's prints were nothing short of excellent. Unfortunately, the colored printing is not that good. Discoloration and inconsistency was apparent in the prints.
An office printer should be cost effective. The average office of 20 to 30 people prints around 30,000 pages in a month's time. Keeping the printing cost down should be a priority. The Okidata 42127404 was able to print black and white documents at 2 cents per page, which is actually quite reasonable. The color printing is little steep at 14.1 cents per page.
The C5200 printer has a monthly duty cycle of 50,000 pages, which is very high for a colored laser printer that cost less than $900. It has two paper feeders that can support up to 930 sheets. The Okidata laser printer is also network ready. It has a built-in Ethernet port that you connect to the router. This means, the printer does not need a dedicated server and it can run from almost anywhere. However, if you are not using the Ethernet, you can also plug it in through a USB port.
The device can handle a maximum resolution of 1200 x 600 dpi for both black and colored prints. If you do need to print on both sides automatically, you can purchase the optional duplexer for around $300. It has a footprint of 13.6 x 16.7, which is about the same size as a big toaseter over. The Okidata C5200 printer weighs a hefty 57.3 lbs. When you look for a place to put it, make sure that it is going to be permanent. Moving it from one place to another is not such an easy task.
It is powered by a powerful 200 MHz process and built-in 32 MB memory. Both the processor and memory can handle a small office. However, if the printer is freezing up, you can upgrade the memory up to 288 MB. In addition, the feeder can accept almost any kind of paper.
The Okidata C5200 printer and Oki 42127404 toner is definitely worth looking at even though it is almost six years old. Even though it has been out for several years, Oki toner is still a highly recommended colored laser printer. Keep costs down by purchasing Okidata C5200 bulk toner from online retail toner outlets.
