Okidata B410 Toner Cartridges

Okidata B410 Printer Review

The Okidata B410 series includes a base model, as well as B410d and B410dn printers which include duplexing for the former and both duplexing and networking for the latter. These laser printers are moderately fast compared to other devices similar in price, printing monochrome projects at a maximum speed of 28 pages per minute. With the convenience of quick rates, as well as its Oki B410 printer toner system and quality output, even the base model can be a nice addition to small offices.

A maximum monthly duty cycle of 50,000 pages designates the unit to fit well for personal users or small offices. Paper handling options also make it a good choice for such environments, with a standard total capacity of 250 sheets capable of expanding with an optional 530-page tray. The base model suffers from a lack of wireless connectivity or networking, incorporating instead a parallel port and a high-speed USB port. The machine makes up for its more basic design with sharp monochrome projects, printing with detail and a maximum resolution of 2400x600 dpi using black Okidata B410 toner.

The manufacturer provides options for the unit's memory, starting with a minimum of 32 MB and expanding to a possible maximum of 288 MB. Measuring at around 14x15x10 inches, the monochrome printer isn't the smallest in its class, but can still work from a user's desktop. Its design has nothing flashy, just a simple LCD and straightforward control panel with minimal management options, while most of its features are controlled by the software.

Its basic single Okidata B410 toner cartridge system is fairly affordable. The replacement black Oki B410 toner has a yield of 3,500 sheets that can support medium volumes, and third-party vendors offer affordable replacement toners that can keep running costs down.

Despite its larger frame and basic design, the printer's cost-efficient Oki B410 toner cartridges, expandable features and reliable monochrome output make it a quality unit. Personal users or small offices looking for affordable and quick monochrome devices will benefit with the B410.
