Oki 24DX User Manual

DIGITAL LED PRINTERS

The success of any business ultimately
comes down to controlling costs.That
includes providing each workgroup
with the tools they need to streamline
workflow and increase productivity.
Which is precisely why we’ve developed
the OKIPAGE

®

24DX Series of network

printers,equipped with

standard features

designed to enhance

the production

of the entire

workgroup.Their
high-speed engine

(boosted by the

powerful R4700,

120 MHz micro-

processor) and Digital

LED Printing Technology

deliver legendary OKI

®

reliability and true
600-dpi quality at a super-fast 24 pages
per minute.

The OKIPAGE 24DX Series also includes
true Adobe® PostScript®technology—
the worldwide standard for high-quality
imaging—so users can reliably print any­thing and everything,from simple office
memos to visually-rich presentations,
Web pages or product brochures.

Double your productivity with
duplex printing

Standard with every OKIPAGE 24DX is
its duplex (2-sided)
printing capability.
Digital LED tech­nology allows the
OKIPAGE 24DX
Series duplexer to
print on both sides
of a sheet at full­engine speed
(12 pages per
minute,2-sided,so

you still get 24 impressions per
minute)! The bottom line is a better
bottom line:you save time and money
on natural resources,ultimately lowering
your cost per page and total cost of own­ership of printed communication.

A workgroup workhorse

Load it up and let it run! The OKIPAGE 24DXn
features an enormous 1160-sheet paper
capacity by including as a standard feature
a 530-sheet second paper tray for even
greater paper options.The OKIPAGE 24DX
comes standard with 630 sheets of paper
capacity.Both expand to a maximum of
1790 sheets to keep cranking out your
documents unattended.Fewer reloads
means less time attending to the printer,
and more time attending to business.And
other input options,such as the multi­purpose feeder,provide even greater
hands-off functionality that further
enhance office productivity.

The OKIPAGE 24DX features
16 MB of memory standard,while the
OKIPAGE 24DXn includes 32 MB standard,
so they can handle even complex and
graphics-intensive documents.You can
also plug in additional memory,up to
80 MB worth.

Configured for your business

No matter what kind of network you
have,the OKIPAGE 24DX Series is ready
to go right out of the box.It features full
cross-platform compatibility with
Windows®, MS-DOS®and Macintosh

®

operating systems.

The OKIPAGE 24DX Series—advanced
features,superior performance,exceptional
reliability and the best value in its class.It’s

The OKIPAGE®24DX Series: Plugged in to
the way your network works

NT SYSTEM
Networking with an NT System

Integrating the OKIPAGE 24DX Series
into your network is a snap with an
OkiLAN®internal print server.
Considering the wide range of advanced
features and time- and money-saving
benefits the OKIPAGE 24DX Series
provides,it would be a shame not to
share it over the network.

OKI®has a broad range of experience
in supporting the networking capabilities
of its printers.OkiLAN print servers
enable the high-volume performance and
reliability of the OKIPAGE 24DX Series in
a wide variety of network environments.

OKI offers a choice of internal and
external network print servers to meet
the needs of the most popular
configurations of Ethernet networks.
They also enable the high performance
and reliability of the OKIPAGE 24DX
Series to be shared in a wide variety of
network environments.

The OKIPAGE 24DXn printer
ships factory-configured with the
OkiLAN 6100e internal print server.
The OKIPAGE 24DX printer can also
be equipped with the OkiLAN 6100e,
or a variety of other OkiLAN print server
options,such as the OkiLAN 510e internal
print server or the OkiLAN 6010e
external print server.

High performance, lower
“cost per seat”

The OkiLAN 6100e 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet print server connects your
printer to 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T
Ethernet networks,and supports multiple
protocols so you can be assured it will
work in your network environment.

It’s built to handle the rigorous

demands of practically any
multiple-user environment—even
groups of up to 30—without
hindering printing performance.

OKIPAGE 24DXn

Which OKIPAGE 24DX Series Digital
LED Printer is right for you?

OKIPAGE 24DX: 24 ppm, duplex
printing standard

OKIPAGE 24DXn: same as 24DX, but with
OkiLAN 6100e 10/100BASE-T Ethernet
internal print server, 530-sheet 2ndpaper
tray, and 32 MB of RAM standard

Not only does that automatically increase
productivity within the entire team,it also
significantly lowers your “cost per seat”.
It’s the completely sharable,affordable
network printing solution.

Place it where you need it

Another valuable asset of OkiLAN

®

print servers is that they enable you to
place the OKIPAGE®24DX Series Digital
LED Printer anywhere on the network,
wherever is most convenient for those
who use it most.This means you can
centralize each printer within each
workgroup,saving valuable time and shoe
leather by minimizing the distance users
need to go to retrieve their printouts.

Easy to manage with OkiVIEW®32

OkiVIEW 32 print server configuration
software,included with OkiLAN print
servers,is a powerful and efficient config­uration and management tool that lets
network managers take full advantage of
networked printers.

This intuitive software utility lets you
easily control,configure and monitor any
network-connected OKI®print server,
minimizing the time and hassle of
manually managing every printer on
the network.

It’s all point-and-click simple.

Driving the performance of the
OKIP A GE®24DX Series is OKI

®

Digital LED Printing Technology.

Unlike lasers,which print
through a complicated
series of rotating mir­rors and moving
parts,the OKI
printing process
uses flashing
pin-point
beams of light
that go straight
to the image
drum. All rock­solid state.It’s
simply a more
sensible and
efficient technology:
Digital LED Printing.
Simply Smarter Than Laser.
