Manual of product C321dn
Editorial note
The OKI C321dn printer stands out for its solid performance and printing speed, reaching up to 22 pages per minute, with a resolution of 1200 x 600 DPI that ensures high-quality prints. Its duplex printing feature is a significant advantage, allowing for optimized paper usage. Additionally, its generous paper capacity, able to hold up to 350 sheets, makes it ideal for heavy use. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits usage flexibility, especially in modern work environments where wireless is often preferred. Furthermore, the compatibility restricted to Windows operating systems and a few versions of Mac may pose problems for users on other platforms. The internal memory of 128 MB may also prove insufficient for handling heavy tasks, and the warm-up time of 60 seconds could slow down workflow. User experience is generally positive, although the weight of 22 kg may make handling and moving the printer difficult. Despite this, the value for money is satisfactory, and the provided documentation is comprehensive, facilitating product onboarding. In summary, the OKI C321dn is a high-performing and efficient printer, but it has certain limitations that may be more suitable for specific work environments.Score details
