Manual of product MC342dnw
Editorial note
The OKI MC342dnw printer stands out for its ability to deliver high-quality color printing with a maximum resolution of 1200 x 600 DPI, ensuring vibrant documents and images. Its printing speed is also a strong point, reaching 22 pages per minute in black and 20 in color, making it ideal for daily use in demanding work environments. Additionally, its color scanning features, with a resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, allow for faithful and detailed reproductions of documents. However, several drawbacks must be considered. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits wireless printing options, which may not suit all users, particularly those who wish to print directly from their mobile devices. Weighing 29 kg, the printer can be difficult to move, complicating the installation or rearrangement of the workspace. Furthermore, the maximum copy resolution of 600 x 600 DPI may not satisfy users demanding very high-quality copies, and the warm-up time of 60 seconds may seem long in situations where quick printing is necessary. In terms of performance, users generally have a positive experience, with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. However, the total output capacity of 150 sheets could pose a problem in high-volume offices, requiring frequent interventions to empty the output tray. Finally, despite these drawbacks, the OKI MC342dnw offers good value for money thanks to its high-performing features and 250-sheet paper capacity.Score details
