PRINT PRODUCTIVITY
Evaluating print productivity is not as simple as timing copy
jobs. The printing process involves several steps and can
be affected by a variety of factors along the way.
The document must first be spooled by the print driver into
a PCL file. The PCL file is then sent to the printer where it
is raster image processed (RIPped) into image data by the
device processor. The image data is then sent to the
marking engine and output as printed pages.
It is possible to time and compare these factors through the
use of careful preparation, conditioning and testing.
Following are charts that show printing performance when
tested under controlled conditions.
NETWORK PRINTING SYSTEMS
The OKI Printing Solutions B411dn’s rated output speed
is up to 33 ppm.
OKI Printing Solutions B411dn’s Rated First-Copy-Out
Time (FCOT) is as fast as 5 seconds.
The OKI Printing Solutions B411dn delivers multiple
emulations including the following; PCL® 5e and PCL 6,
IBM® ProPrinter® III XL, and Epson® FX drivers.
All of the print drivers offer bi-directional communication
with its user-selectable interface for all of the Windows-
based operating systems.
High print resolutions of up to 2400 x 600 dpi for
enhanced image quality.
The OKI Printing Solutions B411dn has 87 PCL fonts,
Line Printer and OCR-A/B PCL Bitmap Fonts and handles
the following barcodes: UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN/JAN-8,
EAN/JAN-13, Interleaved 2 of 5, Code 39, Code 128,
EAN/UCC 128, and CODABAR; ZiP+4 PostNet.
Driver supports the following OS’s: Windows® 7/x64,
Vista®/Vista x64, XP Home Edition/Professional/ x64
Edition, 2008, 2003 Server/x64 Edition, Enterprise Server/
x64 Edition, Data Center Server/x64 Edition, 2000
Workstation/ Professional/ Server/Advanced Server (SP4
or later); Mac® OS X 10.3.9 and higher.
Supports the following interfaces; USB v2.0 High Speed,
Parallel and 10/100 Base-TX internal Ethernet print server.

IMAGE QUALITY
BERTL evaluates the output of several “test targets” in
order to determine image quality. Following are
descriptions of key elements of image quality. Note the
numbered examples on each of the test targets shown in
the right column.
Office Colour Image Quality
1. Density of Solid Areas - Better contrast; more vivid overall images
2. Line Work - Better production of lines and text
3. Halftones - Better production of photographic and screened images
4. Negative/Positive - Better production of fine detail
Photographic Colour Image Quality
5. Flesh tones - Better production of portraits
6. Banding - Better solid and dithered fill
7. Low Contrast - Better production of dark images
8. Saturation - Better production of greyscales
9. Caste – Better greyscale fidelity
10. Fine Detail – Better reproduction of fine details
Density of Solid Areas*
Print Density
Black 1.63
*Density is on a scale of 0 to 2.5, with 2.5 being the best possible.
Print Resolution*
Print Resolution
Vertical Horizontal
Black 2.0 2.0
*Line Pairs per Millimetre. For printer resolution, lower is better (range,
1.0-5.0).
Print Halftones
Min. Gradation* Max. Gradation**
Black 10 100
*Minimum gradation is on a scale of 10 – 100 percent in 10 percent
increments. The best possible minimum gradation is 10 percent.
**Maximum gradation is on a scale of 10 – 100 percent in 10 percent
increments. The best possible maximum gradation is 100 percent.
BERTL uses ImageExpert printer test targets for the evaluation of printed
image quality. BERTL technicians measure image density and evaluate
the device’s ability to produce a full range of halftones and various sizes
of negative/positive text, dots and lines in each greyscale shade.
BERTL uses synthetic (photographic) test images obtained from ISO
International Standard 12640--Graphic Technology—Prepress digital
data exchange—Data in order to evaluate the ability to print
photographic images.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL PANEL
A control panel’s ease of use or lack thereof can often
have a significant effect on user productivity. The harder it
is to select frequently used options such as duplexing,
document finishing, etc., the more time the user has to
spend programming the device and the less productive
they are. The OKI Printing Solutions B411dn’s control
panel consists of a 16-character X 2 line LCD screen that
makes operation simple.
PRINT DRIVERS
As with control panels, print-driver design can vary
enormously from manufacturer-to-manufacturer. OKI
Printing Solutions has made it an effortless procedure with
their design of the PCL drivers. The drivers are the same
as other OKI Printing Solutions device drivers, which will
make it especially easy for OKI Printing Solutions users to
quickly acclimate to it.
Print Driver Checklist
Do print drivers have identical user interfaces? Yes
Are print drivers interfaces identical to other
models from this vendor? Yes
Are finishing, duplex and paper tray selections
located on the first tab? Yes
Bi-directional communication within print drivers? Yes
Auto device configuration from within print driver? Yes
Does print driver installation require rebooting of
the workstation? No
Are print driver deployment processes included? Yes
Are print driver deployment guidelines and
procedures included? Yes
PCL DRIVER
In order to specify system defaults and installed options,
administrators select the Printers and Faxes folder from the
Microsoft Windows’ Start menu, and then select one of the
OKI Printing Solutions B411dn drivers. Administrators can
select the “Get Printer Settings” option and installed
options will be automatically indicated in the print driver.

toner yields of 3,000 pages per high-capacity toner
cartridge. The image drum life also has a high life span of
25,000 pages.
The B411dn has a small amount of consumable items that
any user can easily change with great ease of use. All
misfeed areas and toner cartridge are easily located.
BERTL found locating and changing these items to be a
straight-forward and easy process.
Maintenance Checklist
Load toner while running? No
Requires rear access to maintenance items? No
Requires side access to maintenance items such
as toner cartridge? No
All-in-one imaging units? No

USER ACCESSIBILITY
An ever increasing number of countries are passing
legislation prohibiting government agencies from
purchasing devices that are not accessible to those with
physical impairments and in many countries this legislation
extends to the corporate environment also. For this
reason—and the corporate world’s increased focus on
delivering a better work environment for all—user-friendly
features for physically-impaired users are more common.
Common design features include tilting control panels,
which give wheelchair-bound users a better view of the
screen, and larger display options for those with impaired
vision. Voice navigation and Braille also are becoming
increasingly popular. Easy access to the paper path for
misfeed removal and front access to toner supplies also
make a device more user-friendly.
The OKI Printing Solutions B411dn has exceptional
accessibility features that are designed for convenient
accessibility for everyone in the workplace, these systems
incorporate user friendly features such as simple LCD
display, easy-pull paper drawers.
USER ACCESSIBILITY PAPER JAM REMOVAL
Paper jam removal and is a simple process for those in a
wheelchair. There are no hidden jam points and all access
areas are at a comfortable height and angle for access
from the front of the device. Adding paper and replacing
toner is all a simple process from a wheelchair as well.
Toner access area opens easily during the toner
replacement process and is designed to be lighter and
easy to replace, so most users can do it with one hand.
