t expernsive of Oki's recent C5750 and C5950 business coour laser printers, the Oki C5750n has an £350 price tag and additionally comes with numerous outstanding features.The Oki C5750n is, obcviously, network rady, and an enhanced model, the C5750dn, incorporates an automatic duplexer (for faultelss printing to both sidees of the paper). You'll be able to buy the duplex unit as an electtive extra for the basic Oki C5750n, but it's gong to cost you an additinal £174 - in contrast to only £117 more for the C5750dn.In atcual fact, the Oki C5750n is full of expansion capablities. The normal 300 page pper tray can be increased with an optioanl 530 sheet tray (offering you a possiible 830 sheets overaall) for an additiopnal £174.Some other extras consist of memory, and then the regular 256MB may be expanded to 768MB for an further £222. The Oki C5750n is a big study looking machine. The control pael is in all likelihood a bit more simple than we might count on at this price, even though crucial facilities really are catered for, and the Liquid crystal dislpay panel provides a few helpful bits of information - letting you know precisely where you stand in the print job, by way of example.However , what of the specifications themsselves? Well, the Oki C5750n comes with a advertised 32 pagees per minute (ppm) in mono. As opposed to inkjets, laser producers are usually truthful in trems of the difference aorund quoted and realworld results.Having said that, in our trials the Oki C5750n managed meely 22.2ppm. Considering that the likkes of the Brother HL-4040CN can produce 16.2ppm whilt costing nearly half the price, we hoed for a bit more from the speed of the Oki C5750n.The Oki C5750n is not much quicer on colour either, additiionally, the realworld amount of 11.1ppm is only half that relating to the offered figure of 22ppm.Being the lowest priced of Oki's recent C5750 and C5950 business colour laser printers, the Oki C5750n comes with a £350 asking pricce conmes equpiped with quite a few striking featues.Print quality, on the other hand, is decent from the Oki C5750n. The text is maybe a bit faint, and all those that love jet black lettering may just be sllightly disappointed. Nevertheless, the definition is comparativly clan. With colour, in comparison, the colors are maybe just a little too dark.Toner for the OKI C5750 comes in four cartridges, one for each colour, aloing with four drum units.The results are sitll awfully appealing, and the prints have got a very polishewd look to them that is highly notable giveen just how many prints can be produced in a minute with the Oki C5750n's laser technology.Even so, one or two of our test shots were not abslutely perfect, and this was despite a geat deal of tinkering with the Oki C5750n's driver frnot-end. Conytrary to typical coour lasers, you have a great numnber of choices with the Oki, and the quality functions alone possesss four different settings, progressing from Draft (600x600) up to the enhanced ProQ2400 setting. Inclpude the Photto Enhance mode, and this manages to become a pretty good printer for colour.Running costs are likewise reallly qiute reaosnable.The Oki C5750n has fine options and would fit in beautifully in a typical office environment. On the othr hand, the speed is not really quite as good as you migth annticipate given the quoted figurees.
