If your environment demands a fast, versatile
and reliable forms printer to get you through
the daily grind, here’s the ideal solution.
MICROLINE®8810 Series Impact printers from
OKI Printing Solutions move easily through a
stack of multi-part continuous forms, report media
and single sheets at a pace that will keep your
business moving.
You can feed them manually, by push tractor or
optional cut sheet feeder—front and back. And
you can rely on them to deliver crisp, near-letter
quality output day in and day out, in the tradition
of Impact printers from OKI Printing Solutions.
Together, these features save paper and time,
while enhancing your productivity.
Built to perform relentlessly and with style
We’ve designed the ML8810 Series for durable
output. Both models have a printhead impact
force that allows even the last page of an 8-part
form to read clearly, and a reliability rating of
10,000 hours MTBF.
As for printing style, ML8810 Series printers have
plenty of that: the Dual 9-pin printhead renders
type styles with high quality, clearly producing
underlines, subscripts and superscripts, as well as
double-high, double-wide letters.
Simple operation, flexible connectivity
ML8810 Series printers are as uncomplicated as
they are powerful… and versatile… and durable.
They’re simple to operate, with an uncluttered
control panel. At the touch of a button you can
change the paper feed from auto to manual, the
printing mode from Normal to Quiet, and the
output direction from front to back. They also have
a backlit LCD display that allows you to quickly
assess printer status, print mode, current paper
path, and manual printhead gap selection.
Their rugged durability, low profile and even
lower noise level make ML8810 Series printers a
perfect fit for the shop or back office. And, when it
comes to connectivity, the ML8810 Series lets you
decide how best to access your printer: choose
from high-speed USB or parallel ports (ML8810)
or an Ethernet interface (ML8810n or optional with
the ML8810), and share the printer’s exceptional
performance on your network.
The MICROLINE 8810 Series printers from
OKI Printing Solutions. Everything you need
to increase your productivity—and make your
job easier.

Fast, reliable printing performance with
Auto Skew Correction, Location-Free
Paper Load, and Auto Head Gap
A unique combination of convenience features
The ML8810 Series is designed to make
your life easier and less complicated. It
provides flexible forms handling to increase
productivity, printing specialty media in
addition to standard Impact printer media.
A variety of paper paths allows for feeding
media via the front or rear of the printer:
Orange – Manual feed with media exiting
front of printer
Green – Manual feed with media exiting
rear of printer
Blue – Rear Tractor Feed (Option) with
media exiting front of printer
Red – Front Tractor Feed with media
exiting rear of printer
Auto Skew Correction – Unlike conventional
flatbed printers, the ML8810 Series can take a
single sheet or form that is manually fed on an
angle (up to 7˚) and automatically straighten it
before feeding it into the printer.
Consequently, text placement is accurate and
precise throughout the entire document—ideal
for longer forms that tend to skew.
Location-Free Paper Loading – Sheets
or forms can be hand-fed at virtually any
point across the printer table; the ML8810
Series printer will sense the entry point
and properly position the printhead.
Perfect for printing wider forms and
accommodating end users who don’t want
to spend the time to properly line up each
and every cut-sheet form.
Auto Head Gap Adjustment –ML8810 printers
adjust automatically to accommodate different
media. The printhead calculates the precise
impact needed to print each dot and automatically
adjusts its position. This virtually eliminates
uneven printing: the shape of each dot is more
consistent, and there are no gaps, smears or light
spots, regardless of the media type.
Media fed on an angle (up to 7°) is automatically straightened
Media can be hand-fed at virtually any point across printer table
