(Mount Laurel, NJ) February 2, 2016 – OKI Data Americas announces receipt of two prestigious Winter “Pick” awards in the monochrome and color multifunction printer (MFP) categories from Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI) for its ES5162LP and MPS3537mc+, respectively. After undergoing a rigorous laboratory testing process, BLI praised these devices for their image quality and numerous individual strengths, including: strong performance, robust feature sets, productivity, reliability, affordable price points and low total cost of ownership (TCO) as compared to competitive models, making them ideal choices for demanding workgroups. Both devices are offered exclusively through OKI’s BTA dealer channel.
Awarded Outstanding Budget-Friendly Color MFP, the MPS3537mc+ A4 device features OKI’s latest open application programming interface to support the company’s expanding suite of print management, document capture and document management solutions. BLI applauded the exceptional value, flawless reliability and ease of use of the MPS3537mc+, praising its intuitive touchscreen control panel and simple routine maintenance procedures.
“In addition to its above average performance in several of our productivity tests, the OKI MPS3537mc+ offers a lot of additional time-saving conveniences,” said Joe Ellerman, BLI lab manager. “It includes an embedded software platform which allows for integration with solutions, and its scan preview allows users to add or replace pages and zoom in on thumbnails. Plus, image quality is very good overall, so users can rest assured that output will be professional looking whether in print or copy mode.”
Picked as an Outstanding Budget-Friendly Monochrome A4 MFP, the ES5162LP features a legal-size flatbed platen for scanning 8.5 x 14 inch documents. This feature-rich MFP delivers print, copy, scan and fax capabilities, standard duplexing, an encrypted secure print function, scanning with send-to functionality, and a 50-sheet duplex reversing automatic document feeder. BLI highlighted its excellent value and convenient, time-saving features including an embedded software platform and a versatile scan preview function, as well as its fast speeds in a number of productivity tests.
“The OKI ES5162LP is an excellent choice for organizations looking for a highly affordable monochrome workhorse,” said Marlene Orr, Director of Office Equipment Product Analysis for BLI. “For much less than most competitive devices, the highly reliable ES5162LP can easily meet the needs of busy workgroups. Its large touchscreen control panel is very easy to use and so are the print drivers, plus the device offers a wireless option and mobile print support.”
The ES5162LP is a cost-effective and compact device which produces professional documents with ease, and its seven-inch color tilting touchscreen enhances user interface and productivity. This latest device in OKI’s Executive Series is available exclusively to BTA dealers – further expanding and complementing the company’s broad and award-winning portfolio of printing solutions offered through the channel.
“OKI Data Americas is honored to receive two Winter 2016 ‘Pick’ awards from BLI in the Outstanding Budget-Friendly MFP category for the ES5162LP and MPS3537mc+,” said Hiroyuki Fukushima, Vice President of Office Solutions Product Marketing for OKI Data Americas. “The strong performance of these multifunction devices underscores OKI’s commitment to providing high-quality, productive, reliable and cost effective printing solutions to our channel partners at an exceptional value.”
