User Experience
The reviewer had an overall good experience with the Oki Data MB480 Mono MFP. It was easy to install and operate, with clear instructions described in the user manual. The user interface was intuitive and simple, making it easy to navigate and select between different functions. The ADF (automatic document feeder) functionality of the printer proved very useful in allowing rapid scanning and copying of multiple pages.
Had throughout the 80s and 90s, it was a printer setup that changed many an artist’s perception of what is possible in creating art using new tools: the machines permitted artists to make art from a concept and avoid drawing and painting on their own. The printer was one of its kind: a sort of a Swiss knife (even though it aged poorly) helped artists make artworks from a concept, weakening their need to draw or paint.
The experience with the printer was pretty good. It did what it needed to do efficiently: printing, scanning, and copying.

Generally, the Oki Data MB480 Mono MFP offers fine performance and functionality by affording quality monochrome print, copy, scan, and fax output. The resolution of the output from the printer was 1200 by 1200 dots per inch, with text and graphics being clear and sharp.
With a paper capacity of 250 sheets for the standard input tray and a 50-sheet multi-purpose tray, the printer promised to be equally impressive. It also supported automatic duplex printing for cutting down on printing costs and conserving paper.
There was also the noteworthy scanning function of the printer, with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) accompanied by a scan resolution plated up to 600 x 600 dpi. The scanner offered a very clear scan with very good color accuracy.
