MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. -- Oki Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI® Printing Solutions brand, today announced the company has lowered the price of its feature rich B4545 multifunction product (MFP), providing a better value on a device that provides a compact footprint and unique features that are not available with most products in its class.

The B4545 MFP is the only black-and-white laser MFP in its class1 that empowers small workgroups with LDAP compatibility; duplex scanning, full keyboard layout; PC-independent scan-to-email and scan-to-network capabilities; LAN fax compatibility; and ability to scan-to and print-from the USB flash drive.

“Wrapped into one small, space-saving device, the B4545 MFP is the ideal and most versatile solution for small and medium businesses that are in need of improving their office efficiencies,” said Eliana Franco, Senior Marketing Manager, Monochrome Multifunction Products, Oki Data Americas. “A lowered street price enhances the users’ investment and exemplifies OKI Printing Solutions’ commitment to its customers – to provide a solution that upholds its competitive benefits at a better value.”

The product also includes industry-leading software, OmniPage® and PaperPort® from Nuance, to help users get the most out of their MFP and optimize their business process. OmniPage is the most precise way to turn paper, PDF and pictures into files that are easily editable, while PaperPort simplifies the scanning process by converting hardcopy documents into electronic format with thumbnails of the documents for effortless, quick browsing - ultimately enhancing productivity efficiencies within an office.
