OKI MB492 Review
Built around an LED engine, which means that it uses LEDs rather than a laser to draw the image of each page on its drum, the OKI MB492 ($599) uses the same technology as laser printer otherwise. That makes it indistinguishable from a monochrome laser multifunction printer (MFP) in any practical sense, which is why LED-based printers are usually grouped with lasers. If you're looking for a monochrome laser MFP for up to heavy-duty use in a micro or small office—or up to medium-duty use in a midsize office—the MB492 ($549.99 at Amazon) is a strong contender, and it belongs on your short list.
The OKI printer doesn't offer quite enough to replace the Brother MFC-8950DW as Editors' Choice for the category, primarily because of its lower paper capacity and lack of both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, even as an upgrade. If you don't need the Brother printer's additional paper handling or its Wi-Fi support, however, the two printers are closely matched otherwise, with similar speeds, MFP fun...
The LED-based OKI MB492 can be an excellent fit as a heavy-duty monochrome multifunction printer for a micro or small office or as a medium-duty MFP for a midsize office.
Prints, scans, copies, and faxes; Duplex (two-sided) printing and scanning; Touch-screen controls; 350-sheet capacity standard; Maximum 880 sheets
No Wi-Fi, even as an upgrade; Speed is acceptable, but unimpressive, for both the price and engine rating
