26 October, 2009
OKI Data Americas , which markets its products under the OKI Printing Solutions brand, has announced the introduction of the MB400 Series, three versatile monochrome multifunction printers (MFPs) for small workgroups.
The MB400 MFP Series includes the MB460, MB470 and MB480, which feature all-in-one functionality, combining black and white printing and copying, colour/mono scanning, scan-to capabilities and analog faxing (MB470/MB480) at a lower TCO than comparable MFP devices.
All models in the affordable, compact MB400 MFP Series come standard with duplex printing and internal Ethernet connectivity.
The MB470 and MB480 offer full fax functionality, not previously offered in this segment, which includes distinctive ring, dual access, one-touch dialing and telephone/fax auto switching.
"Price is often one of the key criteria considered during the purchasing process for customers in the small workgroup segment," said Mario Pallotta -- National Sales Director, Canada - OKI Data Americas. "The MB400 MFP Series was designed with the same engine as our B400 single function printer series allowing it to deliver cost-effective solutions due to the two-piece consumables it uses, while providing all the features and functionality customers expect from OKI Printing Solutions. With this series we are providing a compact, affordable, MFP that replaces several office devices, allowing small workgroups to simultaneously cut costs and increase productivity."
Given the feature set and capabilities, OKI says the MB400 MFP Series includes the most cost-effective devices in their class with advanced features2 and lower TCO than most competitors. Boasting one of the fastest first page out print speeds and one of the highest maximum page inputs among comparable printers3, to further boost productivity the devices combine black and white printing and copying, colour/mono scanning, analog faxing and scan-to capabilities. Small workgroup customers can easily print, copy, scan and fax from one compact device with the capability to easily manage documents and convert hard-copy documents into electronic documents for convenient sharing and archiving. And with access controls, administrators can grant or restrict privileges to individuals or groups of users through unique PIN access codes, allowing certain access, such as print, copy, and scan-to-email or network folders, to specific users.
Available exclusively through OKI Printing Solutions´ authorized solution providers, the MB400 MFP Series will begin shipping November 2009 in North and South America with an estimated street price starting at US $399.
