When they designed this printer, it is obvious the company wanted to create a real workhorse machine. The Okidata B6500N Printer is a valuable piece of performance equipment. It does its monochrome printing both reliably and with speed. Fully digital and able to be upgraded, you will find yourself relying on it for a long, long time. The Okidata B6500N toner is exactly what you’ll need to go with it.

This printer is fast. It features a 533-megahertz processor, so it takes less than 8 seconds to print the first page. With a capability of printing up to 45 pages per minute, it is definitely a time saver. This is the perfect printer for high quality black and white printouts.

Printed pictures come out bold and vivid. You can make out every detail. Text pages come out even better, with excellent readability. To save on paper, you can get an optional feature that lets you shrink up to four pages onto one sheet.

This machine can also be purchased with duplex printing. So, using both sides of the paper has never been easier. The 1200 X 1200 DPI resolution ensures great quality printouts, every time. You can create pamphlets with ease. If you need to print private documents, you can set up a pin service. You will never have to worry about someone gaining access to private information.

This machine also makes efficient use of toner, which saves you money. You can even turn on a toner saving feature. The printing comes out a little lighter, but remains fully readable. You will not have to change the Okidata B Series compatible toner cartridge as often as you do with other laser printers. The standard cartridges can print up to 6,000 pages, before needing to be changed, which is almost twice as many as some comparable models. It also comes with a toner cartridge. That means it is ready to use, as soon as you open the box. A convenient top panel makes it easy to change the toner or drum when necessary. It also has a time delay, so you can tell it when you want it to start a job.

With two different sized feed trays, it is easy to use. If you have a big print job, you can use both and do 700 sheets at once. For a tinier job, use the smaller multi-purpose tray that holds 150 sheets of media. The larger one holds up to 550. This means it is convenient for printing envelopes or newsletters. For companies that regularly do much bigger tasks, you can purchase additional trays. You can add up to two more. Each of which holds another 550 sheets.

Does your office use the Vista operating system? Well, do not worry; drivers are available to ensure this machine’s performance. You will love it if you use Macintosh computers, Linux or Windows systems, because it is already set-up to work with them. Your whole office can be networked to use this printer. It uses standard LPR/LPR or TCP/IP protocols and is also Ethernet ready. The B6500N compatible cartridge readily provides you with both.

The printer toner is one office supply you will always need. Printing index cards, pictures or envelopes will never be a problem again with the Okidata B Series printer cartridge.
