OKI Data Americas Launches New LED Single Function Monochrome Printer Series Offering Maximum Efficiency for Mid-Size Workgroups in SMB Market

The full-featured, energy-efficient B700 Series of monochrome printers increases print speed and office productivity with a variety of performance-enhancing features

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI^® Printing Solutions brand, announces the addition of the new B700 Series of monochrome printers designed for small to mid-size workgroups. The new B700 Series delivers powerful, ease-of-use features that produce crisp, clear documents at high speeds with less user intervention. The new series has a variety of performance-enhancing features including an alphanumeric keypad with a 5-line blue backlit LCD display for easy navigation and menu access. A USB port conveniently located on the control panel allows users to print directly from a flash drive. Additionally, all models can print up to 95 envelopes without the need for a separate external feeder.

“With the addition of this series to our diverse portfolio of printing technologies, our partners have more choices in providing reliable printing solutions to customers, meeting the ever-changing and demanding workplace requirements within the SMB market.”

The B700 Series is designed to fit comfortably in any office environment and offers a plethora of environmentally-friendly features. Toner-Save Mode, a user selectable setting, reduces the use and waste of consumables when lower resolution output can be utilized. One-piece consumables decrease waste by lowering the number of items to dispose of or store, while duplexⁱ printing saves energy and paper, maximizing productivity. All B700 Series models are ENERGY STAR® complaint and engineered to perform with low power requirements during regular operation.

The B700 Series from OKI Printing Solutions comes in six configurations that deliver a compact footprint of just 16.6” x 18.3” x 15.9” and up to 52 ppmⁱⁱ, with first page speeds of up to 8 secondsⁱⁱⁱ. With a monthly duty cycle of 200,000 pages, it’s a perfect fit for small-to-medium sized businesses and small- to mid-size workgroups requiring high-volume applications. Featuring a 700-sheet standard paper capacity (which is expandable to 1,800 with optional second and third paper trays), the B700 Series is also flexible enough to handle paper weights to 216 gsm. With a high paper capacity and increased toner yields of up to 26,000 and a print resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi, the B700 Series provides users crisp and clear output on a variety of media from 3” x 5” cards to 8.5” x 48” banner-size sheets.

All B700 Series models come with 128 MB of memory and the option of increasing memory to 640 MB for processing large files, maximizing office productivity. Adding to the great design and functionality of the models, the new mono printers offer standard security features through user access controls, administrative management solutions, storage device security and security protocols. Registered User Database works in conjunction with OKI® Job Accounting software (standard) to limit user access, Protocol Admin enables or disables individual protocols and Password Access via the web provides general administrative control and access to a library of secure prints. Finally, with 6-digit Strong PIN and the capability to auto delete coupled with the highly secure erase functionality administrators can require a PIN for stored jobs on hard disk drive or flash memory, delete stored jobs after designated expiration date and erase data on hard disk or flash memory for efficient operation.

“The full featured, energy-efficient B700 Series brings professional quality and functionality for small to mid-size workgroups at a cost effective price enhancing overall office efficiency,” said Carl Taylor, Director of Marketing for OKI Data Americas. “With the addition of this series to our diverse portfolio of printing technologies, our partners have more choices in providing reliable printing solutions to customers, meeting the ever-changing and demanding workplace requirements within the SMB market.”
