Editorial note
The OKI ML5100FB printer stands out for its Dot Matrix printing technology, ensuring precise print quality and exceptional clarity for documents. Its printing speed of 375 characters per second is appreciable, although it may seem slow compared to modern inkjet or laser models. With a print head lifespan reaching 200 million characters, this device offers remarkable durability, ideal for users with frequent printing needs. However, the lack of color limits its use for documents requiring colored graphic elements. Additionally, the maximum resolution of 360 x 360 DPI may not be suitable for users seeking high-quality prints, especially for detailed images or graphics. Its weight of 4000 g makes the device less portable, which could be an issue for those who wish to move it regularly.
