Limitations
As a dot matrix printer, the OKIDATA OKI 62418901 yields lower print quality compared to modern inkjet or laser printers, resulting in less sharp text and graphics. Printing noise can be considerably high during operation, which may disrupt quiet office environments. The speed, while adequate for impact technology, is slower than contemporary alternatives for graphic-rich documents. Color printing is limited or non-existent due to the monochrome nature of impact technology. The lack of advanced connectivity options such as USB or network interfaces may restrict integration into modern IT infrastructure. Supplies such as ribbons and tractor feed parts can be harder to source due to the model’s age and reduced production.
