OKI Printing Solutions New Value-Priced SIDM Printer Delivers Fastest Print Speeds in its Class and Best-in-Class Reliability

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI® Printing Solutions brand today announced the availability of the new ML1120 SIDM printer. The reliable and dependable SIDM printer handles a wide-range of applications from invoices, receipts, inventory reports, spreadsheets to packing slips. Designed for general business and point-of-sale (POS), the ML1120 delivers the fastest print speeds in its class up to 375 cpsⁱ and best-in-class reliability with a rating of 10,000 hours Mean Time Before Failureⁱⁱ (MTBF).

“The compact-focused design of the SIDM printer delivers crisp, clear printing on 5-part forms with the fastest print speed and other best-in-class features all at an affordable price point.”

Whether in Super-Speed Draft, High-Speed Draft, Utility or Near-Letter Quality modes, the 9-pin ML1120 enables users to get more done in less time. Printing on cut sheet paper and continuous forms up to 5-parts, the SIDM printer features a zero tear and auto parking position where forms tear off cleanly, eliminating waste. Requiring no separate options, changing the paper path from a rear push tractor to bottom pull tractor is quick and easy.

The ML1120 ships standard with parallel, serial and USB 2.0 connectivity, and users have the option of adding an external network print server, increasing performance. Businesses save space with the compact design and all three interface ports – Serial, USB and Parallel – are located on the bottom of the ML1120 where cables can be easily channeled and concealed, further minimizing the SIDM printer’s footprint.

“As the market continues to migrate towards the purchase of lower priced and efficient SIDM products, the ML1120 meets the needs of today’s fast-paced business environments that require durability, increased productivity and reliability at a competitive price point,” said Howard Foster, SIDM Marketing Manager, OKI Data Americas. “The compact-focused design of the SIDM printer delivers crisp, clear printing on 5-part forms with the fastest print speed and other best-in-class features all at an affordable price point.”
