OKI MC561dn to provide unrivalled value for small and medium business use

Dubai, UAE, 23 November 2010: OKI Printing Solutions, a leader in the colour printing market, has announced the launch of its new A4 colour multi-function product (MFP) the MC561dn. The new MFP is based 100% on digital LED technology and targets the important small and medium sized business (SMB) and small office home office (SOHO) sectors. The machine is designed to provide higher print speed and higher yield toners to maximise business efficiency.

"By combining key office functions within one integrated device, our latest MC561dn save time and money, at the same time boosting staff productivity, reducing administration time and maintenance costs," says John Ross, general manager, Middle East, India and North East Africa, OKI Printing Solutions. "Also by incorporating OKI's unique advanced digital LED technology end to end, the MC561dn can deliver these benefits within a highly compact and low-profile MFP - a true, ergonomic desktop device for those many businesses for whom space is at a premium." 

MFP is the fastest-developing segment of the printer market, with the EMEA market forecast to increase by over 30% in 2010*. This reflects the market's growing recognition of the benefits of MFPs in bringing together the ability to print, scan, copy and fax documents cost-effectively within a single compact device. OKI designed the MC561dn to take a decisive lead in cost and performance to meet the diverse range of demands from this market.

"Building on the success of our earlier A4 desktop MFPs, the new product is the first colour MFP to be 100% OKI manufactured and 100% based on LED technology," confirms Elia Giovanni, European product marketing manager.  "As a result, not only will the new MC561dn meet the market's demand for better performance and value, customers will also benefit even more from OKI's unrivalled reputation for robustness and reliability."

OKI MC561dn incorporates the latest advanced OKI print engine introduced recently with duplex two-sided printing built-in as standard. It also incorporates high yield toners, increasing machine up-time and minimising user intervention. And this is not at the expense of output performance, as OKI's digital LED print engine ensures consistent professional print quality on a wide range of internal and customer-facing documents. 

OKI MC561dn also has as standard a 50-sheet Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF) which can quickly and simply manage copying/scanning/faxing double-sided documents. An OKI-designed LED scanner and controller have also been developed in-house for the new MFP. This enables users to be much more efficient and effective in expanding the range of print tasks which can be undertaken in-house

Environmental performance is also improved with the new MC561dn, as the adoption of the intelligent ECO mode functionality reduces power consumption and automatically speeds up small jobs, at the same time enhancing performance and offering low power consumption of less than 1.5W in Deep Sleep mode.  

Ross added: "With the introduction of the new MC561dn, once again we have shown that we listen to the needs of our customers, by providing real added value where it counts for business. The new level of flexibility and performance supports businesses in the drive to improve their competitiveness.  Equally importantly, this is matched by a unique three year warranty which gives the users confidence in the new products' robustness and reliability."
