MICROLINE® 186

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.
