With the MPS5500mb Series, you get all the functionality your
medium workgroup needs – and the feature sets you want.
What the medium workgroup demands in a MFP.
Above all, your workgroup wants to be productive.
The MPS5500mb Series from OKI®responds with
exceptional print and copy speed: both models
deliver up to 55 crisp, clear prints/copies per
minute (ppm/cpm), with the first copy appearing
in as little as 8 seconds.1
These black & white MFPs pack a lot of paper and
toner—dramatically reducing down-time from user
interventions: up to 3,200 pages of paper capacity4
(with options), and high-capacity toner cartridges
capable of lasting for up to 36,000 pages3.
They’re also designed to be easy to use, with
intuitive and customizable controls.
Sharing files and documents is a snap – Place your
document on the flatbed platen or in the 75-sheet
duplexing automatic document feeder (DADF) and
scan both sides in a single continuous pass. Save
and send the electronic version to a folder on your
PC, the network or FTP site, as an attachment to
an e-mail address, or to a USB memory stick.
Preview scans on screen – Before you scan and
e-mail an important image file, see how it looks
and fits on the page.6You can preview your scan
on the 9" color touch-screen display, saving you
time and eliminating errors.
Manage traffic efficiently – When you e-mail
a large file it won’t cause a traffic jam on your
network. That’s because the MPS5500mb Series’
traffic-shaping technology can partition your
network traffic and designate lower bandwidth for
outbound flows. This is especially useful for busy
networks and externally hosted Web servers.
Robust copy and fax features – Benefit from a
rich range of advanced copy functions to boost
your users’ productivity, such as Priority Copy to
interrupt long print runs temporarily; ID Card Copy
to copy both sides of a card onto a single sheet;
and Sample Copy to proof the first copy before
printing the remaining copies.
MPS5500mb Series models also offer powerful
fax features, including broadcast faxing, 500
speed dials with LDAP support, and fax memory
of up to 900 pages7.
Personalized user settings – The MPS5500mb
Series lets multiple users save and re-access
their personal settings on a simple flash drive,
including their local address book, personal fax
numbers, individual copy settings, and even their
own touch-screen configurations.
They simply walk up to the MFP, slide in their flash
drive, and the MFP literally transforms into their
own personal device.
Finish with a flourish – The MPS5500mbf will
staple multiple sets of documents of up to
50 pages each.

Take control of your office security and your bottom line –
even as you lend a helping hand to the environment.
Control the way your MFP is used – The
MPS5500mb Series allows an administrator to grant
or restrict access to individuals or groups of users.
Simply assign individual PIN identification codes
to your personnel according to their privileges:
print, copy, scan-to-e-mail or network folders, and
fax transmission. They can unlock the restricted
functions—with your permission—by entering
their PIN codes into the machine’s control panel.
Improve your bottom line – The MPS5500mb
Series delivers cost-effective operation as well as
an exceptional return on your investment.
Its outstanding reliability and long-lasting
consumables help you control operating costs
and improve productivity:
Support one device rather than several•
Stock fewer replacement supplies•
Reduce user interventions•
In addition, these MFPs are designed with a
2-piece, cost-efficient toner cartridge—rated at
up to 36,000 pages.3Your investment just keeps
looking better and better.
Environmentally friendly features – The
MPS5500mb Series also helps you control your
effect on the planet’s health by providing:
ENERGY STAR®compliance With its lower power
consumption and standard duplexing, the
MPS5500mb Series meets the government’s
standards for energy efficiency.
Automatic ECO Mode When you’re only printing a
few pages, the MPS5500mb Series’ response is to
enter this energy-saving, performance-enhancing
setting. Same terrific output, lower power
consumption. Everybody wins.
High-capacity toner cartridges Long-lasting,
user-replaceable consumables reduce the amount
of material that needs to be disposed of, while
remaining friendly to your budget.
Quiet mode operation The finely engineered
MPS5500mb Series reduces noise pollution with
its quiet operation in print, copy and fax modes.

with our products and support is the driving force
behind all we do.
