Okidata C6000 Printer Review

The Okidata C6000 color laser printer is designed for the small office environment, like the Okidata C5100 toner printer. Users will love its fast speeds and excellent print quality, and its built-in networking (in the C6000dn model) makes it easy to share.

The Oki C6000 color laser printer, while not the smallest printer in its class, has a relatively compact frame that allows it to fit in small office environments, like the Oki C5500 toner printer. The unit measures 13.4 inches by 17.1 inches by 22.1 inches, and weighs 57.3 pounds. Paper capacity is 400 sheets, with a 300-sheet standard tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray. Paper capacity can be expanded with the addition of an optional 530-sheet tray. This brings the total paper capacity to a maximum of 930 sheets. This expandability will appeal to offices expecting to grow in the near future.

The unit comes in two main configurations. The C6000 is the standard model, and the C6000dn add automatic duplexing, or two-sided printing, and built-in ethernet networking, allowing it to connect directly to a network for easy sharing among multiple users. It can also connect via USB. The unit supports all modern versions of Windows, as well as Mac OS X.

Print speed is very fast for the price, at 24 pages per minute in monochrome, and 20 pages per minute in color. Print quality is excellent, with sharp and defined text characters that are readable at very small font sizes. Color quality is excellent as well, with accurate colors and no apparent blotchiness.

Okidata toner cartridges have a capacity of 5,000 pages for the black toner cartridge, and 4,000 pages for each of the three color laser toner cartridges. Each printer toner cartridge is affordably-priced, resulting in a low cost per page.

Overall, the Oki C6000 is an impressive machine, with a great combination of affordability, expandability, and fast speeds. Its relatively compact frame also makes it a good fit for small offices.
