SENDYS Explorer LITE is also included,
a server-based solution that lets users

Hall adds that following its launch
in May 2015, sales of the MC800 series
started cautiously. However, later in the
year they picked up in line with market
growth in the A3 MFP segment.
“The MC800 A3 MFP segment is the
In May 2015, OKI expanded its
portfolio of smart multifunction
printers (MFPs) with the MC800 Series
with intelligent features and enhanced
functionality to help organisations
manage a range of tasks.
The MC800 series is an all-in-one
solution to a variety of business needs.
With print speeds of up to 35 pages per
minute and scan speeds of 50 impressions
per minute, this smart MFP delivers fast,
efficient performance. The ergonomic
design includes a customisable touch
screen panel with a lift-up mechanism
which moves with the device, making it
easy for users to follow the menu screen.
Businesses have the ability to programme
their own common print and copy jobs as
individual function commands, saving time.
The user-friendly smart MFPs also feature
a comprehensive guided help function,
two output bins and convenience stapling
as standard. All models are Google Cloud
Print ready and AirPrint 2 ready, enabling
remote printing without having to connect
directly to a printing device.
The MC800 series provides additional
levels of business productivity through
sXP1 (smart Extendable Platform),
OKI’s embedded open platform offering
enhanced workflow integration and
document management across the
business. OKI Systems UK marketing
manager Andrew Hall said: “The channel
has been very receptive to its introduction
especially with the open API platform
allowing for integration with various
software applications.”
A suite of software that can be
integrated with the smart MFPs is provided
by OKI at no additional cost to the user.
It includes ABBYY FineReader Sprint OCR
software which helps you create editable
and searchable files from paper documents,
PDF files or digital photos, saving you the
fastest and one of the few segments
growing in the print sector,” he said.
“Document management in various
degrees are required by customers and
OKI is striving to ensure we meet these
demands.”
These versatile devices with user-
friendly features and embedded sXP are
well-suited to small to medium-sized
businesses, as well as departments within
larger organisations. While it’s still early
days for the MC800 series, we can expect
to see enhancements in the future such as
standard, in the box utilities and apps.
OKI is also in the process of developing
a unique solution for the retail sector with
one of their partners. While it is currently
in the final stages of development, they
say it will bring a change to the way retail
ticketing is utilised.
OKI's reliable digital LED print
technology, and the added functionality
and performance of more costly and
complex copier-based devices, makes
the series a cost-effective solution for
businesses. The MC800 Series is integrated
circuit (IC) smart card reader ready for
flexible user management, secure printing
and managing print jobs. Fax is included as
standard and OKI’s three-year warranty is
offered at no extra cost when the product
is registered within 30 days of purchase.
