MICROLINE® 186

Big performance. Small package.

A 3-year warranty comes standard with this rugged and reliable forms printer

This Impact printer from OKI Printing Solutions combines versatile paper handling with fast throughput and a space-saving footprint.

The MICROLINE® 186 has a way with tough conditions. This compact forms printer actually thrives in industrial and point-of-sale environments because it’s built to meet the renowned OKI Printing Solutions standards for

quality and Tank-Tough® reliability. As proof, the ML186 has a 20,000-hour MTBF rating, more than triple that of its closest competitor. Just put it to work and see for yourself how it delivers!

Small package, big performance. For its size and weight, the ML186 is fast: 375 cps in SuperSpeed Draft mode. It also combines efficiency with economy. It’s packed with advanced, field-proven technology, including a patented closed-loop optical sensor that accurately positions the printhead, ensuring precise characters even on the last page of a 5-part form.

The ML186 sports our rack-and-pinion drive system for dependable throughput and longer wear, a sturdy 200 million-character printhead that’s designed to deliver output speeds 25% faster than its predecessor, and a 16-bit CPU for even quicker processing.

Exceptional paper handling. The ML186 can print virtually any continuous or sheet-fed form— including “difficult” media: its pinfeed platen moves card stock and labels effortlessly,

along with multi-part forms up to 10” wide. A short, straight paper path reduces the possibility of media jamming. Continuous

forms and single sheet paper (e.g. letterhead) feed smoothly through the rear or top. And the optional Pull Tractor Kit handles media from 3" to 9.5" wide.

Unlike most other industrial and POS printers, the ML186 offers both bottom-feed and shorttear standard, so you can remove forms right at the perforation every time—which means the next form isn’t wasted.

All that and it’s easy to use, too. Walk up to the ML186 and select your character sets, form length, and line feed setting—right from the operator panel. It couldn’t be easier. Of course, if you need technical assistance, you can speak to a live expert—24x7x365 1—by calling 800-OKI-DATA (800-654-3282).1

For the next generation in fast forms-printing performance, be sure to specify the ML186 from OKI Printing Solutions.
