MB200 MFP from Oki

Oki announced the release of its new MB200 series of MFPs (multifunction products), which are designed for home offices and small workgroups. The MB200 MFP series includes the MB260, MB280 and MB290. The new printers feature monochrome printing and copying with color or mono scanning; fax capability is standard on the MB280 and MB290.

The MB200 MFP series offers a wireless LAN option, allowing workgroups to print, scan or fax from a PC from anywhere in the office. All models have a front USB port from which you can scan to or print from a USB flash drive. The MB280 and MB290 come with a 50-page Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), and include e-mail and address-book maintenance via a QWERTY keyboard. The MB290 includes the ability to scan files directly to e-mail or network for sharing and archiving; Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support for access to corporate email directories (MB290), PCL/PostScript functionality, and network connectivity are all standard.

The duty cycle for the new MFPs is 10,000 pages per month. High-capacity 5,500-page toner cartridges are available on all models. Oki says the MB200 MFP series will be available in August at the recommended price of $250.
