- I believe the pages per minute on the laser script are ~6 ppm. The OKI-840
- toner cardtridges are seperate from the drum. You can replace the toner
- without replacing the entire image drum. The toner refills are around 25.00
- dollars piece. The modular design of the Oki-840 makes it easy to add
- option. I have one at home and love it. Tha blacks are black. I never set up
- the autoselect for telling what emulation it should jump to. But the OKI
- 840 will do it. I usually will print in Postscript mode with the
- True Type fonts (Typeface from SWFTE) and the standard PS fonts. Works
- slick.
