About RMIT

The Oki C9500 has been previously submitted to the lab as part of a multifunction device. It can connect up to a ScanCopier which basically does what the name suggests it allows you to scan and copy documents.

The Oki was shipped to us with a single paper tray which can hold up to 550 A4 pages with optional trays -- you can bump this up to a maximum of 2850. The toners on the Oki are good for around 15,000 pages which is a little below average for this sort of printer while replacement parts like drums and fusers have to be replaced far more frequently when compared to the Kyocera.

Its print speeds were well below its rated speed. We tried a number of things like printing in draft mode but we still couldn't get it up to its 37ppm in mono and 30ppm in colour. Like with the Kyocera we didn't have much time to get to the bottom of this but we did endeavour to find out what the problem was if in fact there is one.

Its print quality was excellent only the Fuji-Xerox was better and that was only in printing colour photos.
