Oki PAGE 12i User Manual

DIGITAL LED PRINTERS

When it comes to office productivity
and efficiency, the OKIPAGE®12i Series
provides tough, fast, reliable printing
for power users and small workgroups.

The OKIPAGE 12i

and network-ready

OKIPAGE 12i/n are

designed to meet

the needs of your

growing business.

That translates into

exceptional depend-

ability, low operating

costs, and superior performance.

Outstanding print quality

Both deliver 600 x 600 dpi print quality
(600 x 1200 dpi in graphics mode) for
crisp, clear text and graphics in letters,
reports, envelopes, spreadsheets and
overhead transparencies. And they turn
it out at 12 pages per minute, with the
first page in just 12 seconds!

The OKIPAGE 12i holds 250 sheets of
paper in a standard Letter/Legal/Universal
tray; the OKIPAGE 12i/n ships with a
second 500-sheet tray; both printers can
be outfitted to hold up to 850 sheets. The
OKIPAGE 12i has 4 MB of standard RAM,
the OKIPAGE 12i/n starts with 12 MB;

both expand to 36 MB with
standard SIMM chips.

Fits any work environment

The OKIPAGE 12i Series offers PCL®6

1

emulation as well as Adobe®PostScript

®

Level 2. It performs equally well with
Windows®98, 95, 3.1x and NT®4.0, as
well as MS-DOS®and most other popular
operating systems.

With standard parallel and serial

2

interfaces, the base model OKIPAGE 12i
offers users broad-based connectivity.
Cross-platform compatibility is also
assured via the OkiLAN®310e+ internal
Ethernet®print server (standard with
the OKIPAGE 12i/n) or its optional
counterpart, the OkiLAN®6010e external
print server. Both provide complete
implementation of NDS®technology,
and offer JetAdmin®and SNMP MIB
Level II compatibility. What’s more,
they’re web browser-manageable.

Built to perform

In terms of durability, both models of the
OKIPAGE 12i Series are tough, with a
high-volume duty cycle of 15,000 pages
per month. And both are Energy Star

®

compliant, making them environmentally
friendly, as well.

will improve by upgrading to a shared
OKIPAGE 12i Series unit.

Technology-driven reliability.
Industry-leading support.

The rock-solid OKI digital LED

printhead utilizes a stationary array

of pulsing light-emitting diodes

(detail) to create high-resolution

text and graphics.

Driving the performance of the
OKIPAGE®12i Series is OKI
Digital LED Technology.

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

™

Because it’s so reliable, OKI backs
