Bought one of these in December 2012, bought a second one in July 2013. Both from Adorama. Units arrived fast and in perfect shape. It is used for scanning to PDF and for printing b&w and color. Output is sharp, good colors. Okidata support is superb! English speaking and knowledgeable. Build-in tray has limited capacity so do add the additional tray. Does legal or letter out of either tray. Bypass tray is fully functional too.

The OKI Data MC561 All-in-One Multi-Function Printer combines high-quality color and four-in-one functionality with speed, reliability and ease of use-superior value from a desktop device that has a footprint small enough to fit easily into your environment. It's the perfect solution for the small- to medium-size workgroups in your company.
Enhance the productivity of your staff
The MC561 Color MFP is fast: it prints or copies up to 27 color pages or 31 black & white pages per minute, with the first color page printing in just 8 seconds. It delivers color duplex prints or copies at the rate of 14 ppm, black & white at 16 ppm. Its reversing automatic document feeder (RADF) quickly scans both sides of a document and its multi-tasking capabilities let you set up or perform two tasks at the same time. And, with a duty cycle of up to 60,000 pages per month, this durable device can be relied upon to handle large daily print and copy volumes.
Scan at the machine or from your desk
With the MC561 Color MFP, you can turn hard-copy documents into electronic files by placing them in the RADF or directly onto the flatbed scanner, scan them in black & white or color and send the scan to a locally attached PC, to the shared directory on the network (without the need for additional software), to an e-mail address or to an FTP site. You can also remotely preview and scan your documents on your PC via the network connection and TWAIN driver. You can insert a USB memory stick into the port conveniently located on the front of the unit and save scans to or print files directly from the stick. With Direct Print, you can even print PDF files without opening an application. The MC561 MFP prints and copies in HD Color, an OKI exclusive: multi-level printheads and microfine toner provide more detail, greater color depth and reduced grain, for breathtaking output even on ordinary office paper.
It can make your job easier
The MC561 Color MFP is really user friendly. It's network-ready right out of the box and has an intuitive operator panel that's simple to use, with a 3.5" backlit LCD display that tilts up for easy reading, 1-touch keys for fast dialing and a full QWERTY keyboard. It comes with a 4 GB SD card for file storage, which can be upgraded to 16 GB as your needs grow. It's also a full-featured fax.
The MC561 Color
MFP has dual access functionality that lets you scan faxes into memory while the unit is busy sending or receiving faxes. It comes with a number of features found in more expensive units, such as T.37 Internet faxing, Tel/Fax auto switching, distinctive ring to differentiate between incoming fax messages and phone calls, a telephone answering device (TAD) interface, speed-dial ID display and generous fax memory.
