The Okidata C5300 is a color laser printer that excels, despite its compact size and affordable price. It has faster speeds and better print quality than one might expect, and its large paper capacity and strong processor are also impressive.
Printer toner costs are low, thanks to inexpensive Oki C5300 toner.
The Oki C5300 has a fairly compact design that small office users or even home users will appreciate. It can fit in most offices with ease, though its heavy weight (printer and
Okidata toner combined) might be an issue for home users. Under the hood, it has enough processing power to handle a large workload with its 400 MHz processor and 64 MB of RAM. The memory can be upgraded to a maximum of 320 MB for those who frequently print large or complex documents.
Total paper capacity is 400 sheets. The machine has a standard tray that holds up to 300 sheets and a multipurpose tray that can hold an additional 100 sheets. The base model connects to a single computer via USB, but the C5300n model comes with networking support, allowing it to be shared among multiple computers. Networking is also available as an upgrade for the base model. Print speeds are fast at up to 20 pages per minute for black and 12 pages per minute for color. First page out time is around 9 seconds for black and 14 seconds for color, meaning less waiting for jobs to start.
The low price of Okidata C5300 toner cartridges makes replacing
laser toner cartridges an inexpensive process. Oki C5300 toner cartridges have a capacity of around 5,000 pages each, which brings the cost per page down and saves users a lot of money.
For the small office user with a limited budget but a busy workload, the Okidata C5300 laser printer is a great choice. Its fast speeds can keep up with the busiest users, and low-cost Okidata C5300 toner makes it very economical.
