OKI Data Americas Marks 40 Years, Commemorates Day with Celebrations Throughout North and South America
Today, OKI Data Americas – with offices throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Latin America – observed forty years since its
establishment in December of 1972. The printer manufacturing company marked the day-long celebration honoring the company’s history with
festivities for all of its team members, including the 325 people based at its headquarters in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
OKI Data was formed as a joint venture between OKI Electric Industry Company, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan, and a member of the former RCA
Computer Division, introducing its first product to market – the LP500 line printer – in 1973. Today, OKI Data manufactures and markets a broad
portfolio of award-winning printing solutions from color and mono single- and multi-function devices, to label and point-of-sale products, to
commercial-grade digital color units for the graphic arts and production space.
OKI Data Americas attributes its longevity and success to several key sources, including its employees, its distribution partners, and its loyal
customer base.
“OKI Data Americas is proud of its long-term standing as a provider of innovative printing solutions and looks forward to another successful forty
years,” said Scott Becker, Executive Vice President of North America Sales and Marketing for OKI Data Americas. “We thank our team of
dedicated employees for their service to the company, in addition to all those who have contributed to OKI’s success – most especially our
channel partners and loyal customers.”
OKI Data Americas to Resell Lantronix xPrintServer Mobile Printing Device
OKI Data Americas has announced a reseller agreement with Lantronix (Nasdaq: LTRX), a leading global provider of smart M2M connectivity
solutions. Through this agreement, OKI Data will become the first printer manufacturer to resell Lantronix’s award-winning xPrintServer™ iOS print
server appliance. OKI Data initially plans to resell the recently launched xPrintServer Office Edition, which supports unlimited iOS devices, offers
customizable settings and security options, and provides printing support for both USB and network-connected printers, wired or wireless.
The xPrintServer Office Edition from Lantronix enables large workgroups to print directly from iOS mobile devices through the native print menu,
eliminating the need to download mobile print applications. The xPrintServer effectively converts existing printers into iOS-compatible devices and
addresses the growing demand for cost-effective iOS mobile printing, specifically within the enterprise and education markets.
The agreement between OKI Data and Lantronix serves as the next phase of the strategic alliance between the two companies following the co-
marketing partnership which was formed in June 2012. OKI Data will market and sell the xPrintServer devices with an array of compatible OKI
LED/Laser printers for customers, resellers and distributors that are seeking enhanced mobile printing solutions. Conversely, Lantronix will refer
OKI Data’s products to members of its network that are in need of customized printing solutions.
“This agreement bolsters OKI Data’s position as a valued printing solutions provider to our enterprise customers,” said Keith Fenton, Product
Planning Manager for MFP Software and Solutions at OKI Data Americas. “By offering the xPrintServer with our single- and multi-function printers,
OKI Data is able to provide mobile printing solutions to help optimize performance within specific workgroup environments quickly, easily, and cost-
effectively.”
Moreover, the partnership comes at a time when the use of iOS products has become increasingly commonplace within today’s workplace. The
xPrintServer functions as a vital tool for offices and schools that are looking to manage and control the document output of numerous mobile
devices.
“Our reseller partnership with OKI Data Americas boosts our brand awareness and expands our reach and distribution channels,” said Mark D.
Tullio, vice president of worldwide marketing for Lantronix. “By having OKI Data as a partner, we can better understand how large workgroups are
using the device. In turn, this feedback provides us with useful information so that we can improve the features and functionality of the products
as well as the user experience within the enterprise environment.”
OKI Data Americas’ commitment to its customers extends beyond the sale through the provision of live[i], toll-free technical support 24 hours a

Three New Monochrome MFPs from OKI Data Receive Achievement Awardsfrom Buyers Laboratory LLC
The MB461, MB471 and MB491 earn recognition for stellar environmental performances in the A4 mono MFP/small workgroup category
OKI Data Americas has been recognized by Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI), receiving Outstanding Achievement Awards for Energy Efficiency for
three of its new monochrome multifunction printers (MFPs) – the MB461, MB471 and MB491 – all of which were introduced earlier this year. These
OKI MFPs were singled-out for having energy consumption rates between 55 and 58 percent lower than average. In fact, their energy
consumption rates were the lowest among all devices tested within their group.
Contributing to these MFPs’ low energy consumption rates are their automatic duplexing capabilities, in addition to their toner save mode, above
average toner yields, and other useful, energy-saving functions – all of which underscore OKI’s continuing commitment to developing high-
performing printing solutions with a low total cost of ownership.
“OKI strives to develop products and services that minimize their environmental impact while optimizing workplace performance,” said Carl Taylor,
Director of Marketing for OKI Data Americas. “We are pleased to receive this honor from BLI, and to be recognized for delivering high-quality, cost-
effective and energy-efficient printing solutions to the marketplace.”
BLI’s actual estimated annual energy consumption results reported that the MB471 was 55 percent lower than average, while the MB491 and
MB461 were each 58 percent lower than average. A full environmental report for each device is available on bliQ – a subscription-based service
of BLI’s.
According to BLI, “Three OKI devices earned recognition for their stellar environmental performances in the A4 mono MFP/small workgroup
category: the MB491, MB471 and MB461. When tested using BLI’s real-world environmental job stream test, their energy consumption rates were
55 percent to up to 58 percent lower than average – the lowest rates tested to date for that group. Each unit also [delivered] above average
tested toner yields that exceeded their rated yields.”
OKI Data Americas’ commitment to its customers extends beyond the sale through the provision of live[i], toll-free technical support 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, with agents based in North America. In addition, OKI Data’s live chat feature is available to customers

the short-run digital color printing arena, and the strategic alliance between OKI Data and Mark Andy will be a game-changer in the delivery of

OKI Data Americas and CMIT Solutions to Provide Managed Print Services Offering for Small Businesses
OKI Data’s Total Managed Print™ portal and CMIT Solutions’ nationwide IT support network join to boost efficiency, profitability for small businesses
Today, OKI Data Americas and CMIT Solutions® announce a strategic partnership to provide CMIT’s 130-plus Managed Service Providers
(MSPs) across the country with a standardized, comprehensive business model of Managed IT Network and Managed Print Services. The
alliance will allow CMIT’s local partners to offer an unprecedented suite of IT and Managed Print Services specifically designed for small
businesses, and represents significant partnership for OKI Data in the small business realm.
CMIT, a nationwide provider of managed IT services for small businesses, is collaborating with the document management experts, OKI Data
Americas, to incorporate OKI Data’s revolutionary Total Managed Print™ solution and portal into CMIT’s portfolio of services. The offering is being
marketed as “CMIT Print powered by OKI”.
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face the daunting task of coordinating and networking their varying assortment of printers and
operating systems, which can result in wasted time, effort and money. Outsourced Managed Print Services lift that burden from business owners’
shoulders in the same way MSPs manage their customers’ IT systems.
Traditionally, these types of services have been available only to large, enterprise-sized businesses that could afford the hefty upfront investment;
combined managed IT and print services are far rarer among SMBs. But with CMIT Print powered by OKI, SMBs can realize the savings and
efficiencies from outsourcing both network and print services while maintaining their long-term business relationships with local MSPs.
“This is a banner day and a tremendous growth opportunity for CMIT Solutions because print management was a key component of SMB
technology that we weren’t offering before,” said Frank Picarello, CMIT Solutions’ chief operating officer. “We’ve been looking for the right
Managed Print Services provider to offer top-level print solutions for our local partners and to our SMB clients.”
“OKI Data offers far and away the most advanced and sophisticated print management platform available in today’s market. This partnership
allows our local partners to serve all of their customers’ technology needs, from network to print to document management.”
“OKI Data’s partnership with CMIT Solutions takes full advantage of both companies’ core competencies, and represents a huge opportunity to
extend both Managed Print Services and OKI Data’s brand deeper into the SMB marketplace,” said Tim Brien, Director of Managed Print
Services for OKI Data Americas. “I am unaware of any other partnership between a Managed Print Services provider like OKI Data and a national
managed IT services network like CMIT. This is a mutually beneficial alliance that will facilitate greater penetration of OKI’s products and services
and result in the delivery of leading-edge, local services for SMBs across the country.”
OKI Data’s Total Managed Print™ (TMP) offering is a flexible, modular platform that will allow CMIT’s service providers to comprehensively manage
their clients’ print systems across all devices and operating systems, saving them time and money. TMP offers unique features such as an analytic
engine to assess customers’ print fleet according to the latest industry research and best practices; a dynamic report generator that automates up-
front manual processes to deliver customized reports for clients; and fleet optimization that tracks usage, cost and profit to ensure maximum
efficiency.
“OKI Data is an ideal partner for CMIT Solutions because our passion is the same – to manage our business clients’ technology so they don’t have
to,” Picarello said. “With CMIT Print powered by OKI, small business owners will no longer have to worry about any aspect of their technology
platform. The local CMIT partner can manage their complete suite of technology offerings, and the business owners can reap the rewards of
having more time, energy, and resources to run their businesses.”

standouts in the black and white printer multifunctional and color printer multifunctional categories, respectively. The Better Buys for Business
Editor's Choice Award is given to products that deliver the highest level of performance and offer the greatest value within each individual
category.
"OKI has produced two series of multifunction printers with highly competitive print speeds and enhanced functionality," said Melissa Pardo
Bunte, Editor of Better Buys for Business. "The MB401 series mono MFPs and the CX3535/4545 color MFPs are both impressive additions to
OKI's existing product portfolio and earned our Editor's Choice Award for being standout devices within their respective products categories."
Part of OKI's second generation series of A4 monochrome multifunction printers, the MB461, MB471, MB471w, and MB491 models combine a
powerful feature set with advanced multifunction capabilities at a competitive acquisition cost paired with a low total cost of ownership. As noted
by Better Buys for Business, the MB401 MFP series offers enhanced features such as increased speed, higher-capacity toner cartridges, and
wireless connectivity. These attributes make the MB401 MFP series a strong competitor in the small-to-midsize workgroup mono MFP space.
"OKI is honored to receive the Better Buys for Business Editor's Choice Award for the MB401 MFP series," said Hiroyuki Fukushima, Director of
Non-Impact Printer Product Marketing for OKI Data Americas. "The MB401 MFP series delivers exceptional value, superior media handling and
low total cost of ownership, all backed by an outstanding warranty. We believe SMB users will find these MFPs to be valuable and productive
additions to their workplace."

voted the fast print speeds paired with excellent document and workflow management features such as its open platform technology among
the devices' competitive advantages.
"OKI is pleased to receive the Better Buys for Business Editor's Choice Award for the CX3535 and CX4545 -- two new high-performance color

OKI Data America's MB401 Series Receives Awards from Buyers Laboratory
MB461, MB471, and MB491 models recognized for economy, efficiency and fast print speeds which help optimize performance for small- to mid-
sized workgroups
OKI Data Americas announces that its recently-launched MB401 Series mono multifunction printers (MFPs) have been named “Pick” award
recipients by Buyers Laboratory LLC (BLI). Specifically, the MB461/MB471 models received a “Pick” award for “Outstanding A4 Monochrome
MFP for Small Workgroups,” and the MB491 received a “Pick” award for “Outstanding A4 Monochrome MFP for Mid-Size Workgroups.” “Pick”
awards are given twice annually, recognizing products that provided the most outstanding performances in BLI’s exhaustive lab tests.
According to BLI, the MB401 Series MFPs from OKI win for both their economy and efficiency. Receiving “Pick” awards in the small and mid-size
workgroup monochrome MFP categories, respectively, BLI observed that the OKI MB461/MB471 and MB491 MFPs offer rated speeds of 35 ppm
and 42 ppm and a compact design.
“For users that need a fast and affordable monochrome MFP, the OKI MB401 Series products are a great choice,” said BLI Senior Test
Technician, Tony Maceri. “Most print jobs are just a few pages long, so fast first-print times mean improved worker productivity, and that is just one
area where these OKI products excel. The low purchase price is an added bonus.”
BLI’s awards stand alone in that they are based on a rigorous battery of lab tests that takes approximately two months to complete. The
evaluation includes an extensive durability test, during a portion of which each unit is run at the manufacturer's maximum duty cycle. BLI’s
durability test is unique among office product evaluations and uniquely qualifies BLI to assess reliability, a critical factor for buyers and IT directors.
Other performance attributes evaluated include ease of use, media handling, productivity and value, among others. Each product that
successfully passes BLI’s lab test earns BLI’s “Recommended” or “Highly Recommended” seal and a BLI “Certificate of Reliability” and qualifies as
a “Pick” award contender. Consequently, a BLI “Pick” is a hard-earned award that buyers and IT directors can trust to better guide them in their
acquisition decisions.
Part of OKI’s second generation series of A4 monochrome multifunction printers, the MB461, MB471, and MB491 models combine a powerful
feature set with advanced multifunction capabilities at a competitive acquisition cost paired with a low total cost of ownership. The MB401 MFP
Series is ideal for demanding small- and mid-sized workgroups, offering economical and versatile printing capabilities all within a compact device.
“OKI is honored to receive the BLI ‘Pick’ awards for our MB461, MB471 and MB491 mono MFPs,” said Hiroyuki Fukushima, Director of Non-
Impact Printer Product Marketing for OKI Data Americas. “SMB users will find the MB401 Series MFPs to be valuable additions to their workplace.”
Fukushima continued, “OKI is committed to providing affordable printing solutions to the SMB market. The MB401 Series delivers exceptional
value, superior media handling and low total cost of ownership all backed by an outstanding warranty.”
The MB401 Series builds off of the success of OKI’s MB460 and MB470 A4 monochrome multifunction printers, and offers users with increased
print speeds, longer consumable life, improved front panel graphical display, scan-to capabilities, and wireless functionality (MB471w). The MB401
Series also includes eco-friendly attributes including LED technology, standard duplex, auto power off and ultra-low energy consumption. All
features and functionality are designed to optimize performance within small to mid-sized workgroups.
Each MB401 model boasts highly competitive print speeds and best-in-class paper handling. The MB461, MB471 and MB471w provide a print
speed of 35 pages per minute while the MB491 delivers a blistering 42 pages per minute . The MB461 provides three-in-one (print/copy/scan)
multifunction capability along with 780 sheet maximum paper capacity. The MB471, MB471w and M491 provide four-in-one (print/copy/scan/fax)

New Partner, DigiFlex Distribution, to distribute both products within the Flexographic market
OKI Data Americas today announced the availability of the DigiPro lineal slitting system for use with the OKI pro510DW digital web press. The
slitter – developed by DigiFlex Distribution, LLC – is designed to fit pre-existing rewind units for the OKI pro510DW. DigiFlex Distribution will offer the
DigiPro slitter within the Flexographic market. This new addition to the innovative OKI proColor™ line will further-enhance the OKI pro510DW’s
usefulness.
The DigiPro system is simple to install and allows users to slit inline as part of the printing process, producing a finished product in a single pass.
Previously, printing wide web formats without this system required offline slitting equipment. The DigiPro system is designed to allow users to make
lineal adjustments during the printing/slitting process, to ensure optimal cutting of all media. The system is designed to lock slitter positions prior to
printing, and can be adjusted in-between prints based upon user needs and media specifications. Such finishing solutions are ideal for use within
the graphic arts and production markets.
“OKI Data Americas continues the expansion of its innovative proColor Series through the development of such complimentary components as the
DigiPro lineal slitter,” said Rich Egert, General Manager of the Strategic Technology Provider Business Group for OKI Data Americas. “OKI’s
continual advancements in digital printing generate limitless possibilities for the print-on-demand market, and introduce affordably-priced solutions
to the graphic arts and production markets.”
The OKI proColor™ Series includes the pro910, pro920WHT and pro930 cut-sheet printers; the pro900DP and pro905DP digital envelope presses;
and the pro510DW digital web press. All printers within the OKI proColor™ Series provide unprecedented short-run capabilities – such as the ability
to print in full color in conjunction with variable data and/or variable graphics, as well as the inclusion of white toner – all at affordable price points.
Each product within the OKI proColor™ Series is supported by an industry-leading one-year On Site Warranty.

productivity. Adding to the great design and functionality of the models, the new mono printers offer standard security features through user
access controls, administrative management solutions, storage device security and security protocols. Registered User Database works in
conjunction with OKI® Job Accounting software (standard) to limit user access, Protocol Admin enables or disables individual protocols and
Password Access via the web provides general administrative control and access to a library of secure prints. Finally, with 6-digit Strong PIN and
the capability to auto delete coupled with the highly secure erase functionality administrators can require a PIN for stored jobs on hard disk drive
or flash memory, delete stored jobs after designated expiration date and erase data on hard disk or flash memory for efficient operation.
“The full featured, energy-efficient B700 Series brings professional quality and functionality for small to mid-size workgroups at a cost effective
price enhancing overall office efficiency,” said Carl Taylor, Director of Marketing for OKI Data Americas. “With the addition of this series to our
diverse portfolio of printing technologies, our partners have more choices in providing reliable printing solutions to customers, meeting the ever-

OKI Printing Solutions Expands MFP Portfolio with Affordable Devices that will Increase Productivity
and Efficiency for Small Workgroups
The heavy-duty MB400 monochrome MFP series provides small workgroups with advanced functionality
OKI Data Americas, which markets its products under the OKI® Printing Solutions brand, today announced
the introduction of the MB400 Series, three versatile monochrome multifunction printers (MFPs) with an array
of advanced features to meet the steady demands of small workgroups. The MB400 MFP Series offers
customers sophisticated functionality at a price that is attractive to small workgroup budgets. Combining
affordability and ease of use with superior capabilities for the easiest integration with Microsoft® Office
SharePoint® and other document management systems, these convenient desktop devices incorporate
seamlessly into any workspace. In addition, the MB400 Series offers full fax capabilities, including distinctive
ring technology, making them three of the most feature-rich MFPs in their category(i).
Highlights of the MB400 MFP Series Announcement:
* The MB400 MFP Series includes the MB460, MB470 and MB480, which feature all-in-one functionality,
combining black and white printing and copying, color/mono scanning, scan-to capabilities and analog faxing
(MB470/MB480) at a lower TCO than comparable MFP devices. * All models in the affordable, compact
MB400 MFP Series come standard with duplex printing and internal Ethernet connectivity.* The MB470 and
MB480 offer full fax functionality, not previously offered in this segment, which includes distinctive ring, dual
access, one-touch dialing and telephone/fax auto switching.
"Price is often one of the key criteria considered during the purchasing process for customers in the small
workgroup segment," said Nick Ciarlante, Senior Marketing Manager, Mono, OKI Data Americas. "The
MB400 MFP Series was designed with the same engine as our B400 single function printer series allowing
it to deliver cost-effective solutions due to the two-piece consumables it uses, while providing all the features
and functionality customers expect from OKI Printing Solutions. With this series we are providing a compact,
affordable, MFP that replaces several office devices, allowing small workgroups to simultaneously cut costs
and increase productivity."
Given the feature set and capabilities, the MB400 MFP Series includes the most cost-effective devices in their
class - with advanced features(ii) and lower TCO than most competitors. Boasting one of the fastest first page out
print speeds and one of the highest maximum page inputs among comparable printers(iii), to further boost

and scan-to capabilities. Small workgroup customers can easily print, copy, scan and fax from one compact
device with the capability to easily manage documents and convert hard-copy documents into electronic
documents for convenient sharing and archiving. And with access controls, administrators can grant or
restrict privileges to individuals or groups of users through unique PIN access codes, allowing certain access,
such as print, copy, and scan-to-email or network folders, to specific users.
Recognizing that budgets do not always allow small workgroups to fulfill their office needs, the MB400 MFP
Series is dedicated to providing small- and mid-sized businesses with the efficiencies and reliability typically
associated with devices designed for large workgroups, while maintaining an affordable price and total cost
of ownership.
A great addition to any small workgroup, the MB400 MFP Series is designed to meet the budget needs of
today's office environment. With the high capacity toner on the MB480, owners can lower their cost per
page even further, providing an exceptional return on investment. Also contributing to the MB400 MFP
Series' affordability are the savings associated with two-piece consumable configuration, which allows
users to replace just a toner cartridge when necessary, instead of both the toner cartridge and the image drum.
The MB400 MFP Series also offers the following features:
* Full featured analog fax with robust fax features, including one-touch dialing, distinctive ring, broadcast faxing,
fax forwarding and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support (MB470 and MB480)

In the current economy, many organizations are looking for ways to understand and reduce costs while
increasing their productivity. Having a predictable monthly expense with access and insight into usage can
simplify the budgeting process related to printing. According to leading industry analyst firm, Gartner,
enterprise customers must focus on the cost reduction opportunities in office and production printing, in which
up to 30% savings are possible with an MPS provider to manage the printer, copier and MFP fleet(ii).
A comprehensive MPS program will also free up resources, including IT personnel, and reduce carbon
emissions(iv) while optimizing their printer/copier/fax fleet for efficiency and cost savings.
"Businesses are dynamic and require solutions that can respond to their changing needs, especially during
times such as these, when companies of all sizes need to bring costs down," said Dena Bernard, Director of
Customer Satisfaction and Services at OKI Data Americas. "As organizations look to reduce overall costs,

possibilities of printing on a variety of clear and dark or solid backgrounds, and is an ideal solution for lower-cost textile transfer media for direct-to-
dark fabric applications."
Available at a list price of $7,495 and operating at fast speeds of up to 31 ppm color/36 ppm mono[i], the pro920WHT employs High Definition
(HD) Color printing technology with up to 1200 x 600 dpi resolution to deliver clear, sharp text and graphics whether on ordinary paper, dark
colored stock, custom or specialty media. The pro920WHT joins the pro810 Series, pro910 and pro930 cut-sheet printers, pro900DP and
pro905DP digital envelope presses, and pro510DW digital web press to give users unprecedented short-run capabilities at affordable price
points.
The pro920WHT will be available in early July exclusively through a select group of partners serving the graphic arts and production
market. Each product is available with an industry-leading one-year On Site Warranty.
