Oki OKIPAGE 12i Series 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®61
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 serial2
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.
1PCL 6 driver is provided; PCL 5e driver installed
as default.

OKI®has a broad range of experience
in supporting the networking of its
Digital LED Printers — and our family
of network printers is playing a big part
in increasing the

Affordable network printing
An OKIPAGE 12i Series printer equipped
with either an internal OkiLAN 310e+
or external OkiLAN®6010e print server
can make network printing solutions
affordable at virtually any performance
level. That can translate into a much
lower cost per seat, which can be a vital
consideration as your office network
grows and expands in functionality.
But even if you’re linking just two or
three PCs, your printing performance
will improve by upgrading to a shared
OKIPAGE 12i Series unit.
The OKIPAGE®12i Series:
at ease with network responsibilities.
With the fa tory- onfigured
OkiLAN 310e+ or optional
OkiLAN®6010e print servers,
the OKIPAGE®12i Series is
perfe t for small offi es or
small workgroups.
Better network support
The OKIPAGE 12i Series printers have
network functionality that works to
your advantage. Employing state-of-
the-art OkiLAN network interfaces and
OkiVIEW®print server configuration
software, these printers perform. They
offer features designed to increase the
productivity of small to medium work-
groups. Each user gains uninterrupted
access to the printer optimizing the
workgroup’s style and flow.
OkiLAN Ethernet®print servers
support all major operating systems
and are compatible with most custom
and off-the-shelf software — so your
OKIPAGE 12i Series output looks good
in the most popular environments.
The network-ready OKIPAGE 12i/n
(shown with standard 750-sheet
paper apa ity) ships with the
OkiLAN®310e+, a multi-proto ol
10-Base T internal Ethernet®print
server that delivers fast, simple
and reliable network printing.

OkiLAN: Fitting your network plan
Designed to integrate with most printer
management strategies, OkiLAN print
servers give you built-in compatibility
with your choice of enterprise, LAN or
user management tools. They employ
an open management architecture that
enables monitoring of printers at any
management level with unprecedented
ease and vision.
No matter what your network
management plan, there’s an OkiLAN
print server to support it.
OkiVIEW®32: Improving LAN
management

print server configuration software is
a powerful and efficient tool that lets
managers take full advantage of net-

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 pin-
point beams
of light that
go straight to
the image drum.
All rock-solid
state, it’s simply a
more sensible tech-
nology: Digital LED Printing.
Simply Smarter Than Laser.™
Reliability to count on
Because it’s so reliable, OKI backs
your OKIPAGE 12i Series printer
with a 1-year limited warranty
on parts and labor including
Overnight Exchange,1and the
industry’s only 5-year printhead
warranty.
