Oki C5650 Laser Printers New series
Oki C5650
For those residing in the United Kingdom, the company “Oki” probably doesn’t ring any bells. That’s because it’s headquartered in Japan and primarily does business with Japan and Southeast Asia. Despite its relative remoteness to the Western world, Oki still produces very good printers and office products. Oki has a very long history and one that is full of trials and tribulations. Despite the hardships they have faced, they continue to produce products that are used on an everyday basis. Many of Oki’s products are used in office settings, such as printers, copiers, faxes, and scanners. The company had .8 billion dollars of revenue in 2009 and had 17,415 employees.
FOUNDING AND EARLY HISTORY
After Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, many people realized the potential of the new device. One such entrepreneur was Kibataro Oki, who founded his company in 1877, only one year after the invention of the telephone. His company started research and began producing their first telephone in 1881. Only five years after Graham Bell came up with the first telephone. Oki continued to contribute to the immense spread of phones and telecommunications equipment in Japan in its early years. During and after World War I, Oki experienced large increases in profits, primarily due to the influx of phone production caused by the war. At the same time, a large demand for a Private Exchange Branch emerged in Japan, and Oki led the way in developing the first PBX in Japan. After the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan at the end of World War II, Oki had a difficult time rebuilding their factories and production facilities. However, by 1951 they were back to full production and started mass producing the Type-4 Telephone.
PREMODERN TIMES
In the early 1950s, Oki transitioned to only producing electronic devices. Their company was listed on the Tokyo stock exchange by 1951, and by 1956 they began producing a crossbar-switching device which would be used commercially. During the 1960s, Japan experienced an economic boom, and Oki had to step up production to keep up with demand. During this time, they began producing typewriters and rudimentary printers and copiers. They came up with one of the world’s first electric typewriters in 1961, which sped up business productivity across Japan.
RECENT YEARS
By the 1980s, Oki had a firm grasp on the printer market, as well as the copier and typewriter market. In 1980, they launched the if800 series, which was a very successful business PC platform. In 1982, they introduced the world’s first cash-recycling ATM, which saved consumers untold amounts of money since they didn’t have to throw away deposited banknotes. During the Japanese recession of the 1990s, Oki had to scale back business operations and had to spin off divisions of their company in order to stay in the black.
By the time the Internet was released, Oki jumped on the new movement and began offering network solutions to small businesses in Japan. Oki continues to produce software that is used in e-commerce, Microsoft .NET compliant software, and office supplies, such as printers, faxes, copiers and scanners which are used throughout Japan.
