Getting the job done. Easily.
Rugged and reliable MICROLINE
®
Impact printers
from OKI Printing Solutions are the most widely
used in North America.
1
And, in keeping with our
tradition of reliable performance, the ML186 sets
an impressive pace—whatever the need
or workload.
Select any of four speed settings and get a
quality product in less time. Fastest is the blazing
375 cps Super Speed Draft mode, followed by the
333 cps High-Speed Draft, 250 cps Utility, and
the Near-Letter Quality of 62.5 cps.
If you process your information over long
distances, the ML186 has an option that can save
time and expense: an OkiLAN
®
10/100 Base-T
Ethernet external print server that lets you
connect over the Internet using TCP/IP protocols.
The printer’s small footprint makes it ideal for use
in your system configuration. And the operator
panel control of character sets, form length, and
other frequently used functions makes the ML186
quite easy to use. (The printer has a “lockout”
feature to prevent unauthorized setting changes.)
OKI Printing Solutions provides the edge in
quality and reliability no competing printer can
claim. It’s the reassurance that comes with the
backing of a full 3-year warranty
2
and a network
of authorized OKI Printing Solutions Dealer
Service Centers and Service Depots.
Demand only the best. Put the rugged, affordable
MICROLINE 186 to work in the shop or behind the
counter. Today.
