The Okidata C-9300 Printer – Product Features

Capable of producing color and monochrome printouts is the Okidata c9300 printer. This laser printer carries Okidata C9300 toner and some utilities that enable consistent color reproduction and tracking of machine usage. To ensure your productivity requirements in the future are met, there’s room for upgrading. Connection interfaces present make it a cinch to attach this unit to a computer, or a workgroup with the use of an optional card.

Within its enclosure is a 450 MHz PowerPC processor. Such makes it possible for the machine to churn out 37 black-and-white pages a minute. That’s 30 pages a minute for colored tasks. The first page takes only 10-11.5 seconds to be out, depending on the media size. A printing resolution of up to 1200 dpi x 600 dpi (dots per inch) ensures razor-sharp text and well-detailed images each time.

Upon purchase, there’s a 128-MB RAM that comes with the machine. But it may be upgraded to a maximum of 1-GB RAM. This is possible as there are DIMM slots available for expansion. With such, you can have sufficient storage for large file sizes, without slowing down the performance of the printer. There are numerous memory sizes which can be installed, including 64-MB, 128-MB, 256-MB and 512-MB RAM.

Input media capacity amounts to 650 sheets. There are two trays available, one universal tray which can hold 550 sheets and one multipurpose tray which can hold 100 sheets. By installing optional media trays, you can increase the media handling capacity to a staggering 2850 sheets. For two-sided printing, using an optional duplex unit minimizes user interaction as it automatically turns the paper over.

There are a variety of media types and sizes which the c9300 can work on. Supported types include regular paper, cards, labels, transparencies, envelopes and others for use on a laser printer. Supported sizes are just as extensive. They include letter, legal, executive, standard, folio, ledger, tabloid extra, banner and custom ones. Maximum media size compatible is 12.9 inches x 47.2 inches.

Connection to a PC is hassle-free as two interfaces are present, the bi-directional parallel IEEE 1284 and USB ports. For hooking up to a network, there’s an optional OkiLAN 6200e+ 10/100 Base-T print server card which you can purchase. This machine is compatible with different operating systems. Toner cartridges and image drums can be replaced individually. Such enables you to minimize operation costs better.

Some useful software come pre-installed with the machine for enhancing certain printing tasks. For instance, the MonacoEZmatch utility makes sure that you end up with printouts matching exactly the colors you see on your computer monitor. Then there’s the Job Accounting utility which enables you to track printing activities per department or computer, like ink consumption, media usage, etc.

The Okidata c9300 printer with Okidata toner is ideal for personal use or within a workgroup. It has an enclosure dimension of 18.1 inches (H) x 24.76 inches (D) x 26.2″ (W) and weight of 154.3 pounds. To meet the shifting output requirements in the future, media handling capacity, and memory size can be easily upgraded. This laser printer’s operation is made simple despite of its fast and accurate performance, thanks to the status LCD on the control panel.
