OKI released the C831 in 2013 as the first of its C800 generation: an A3 colour printer at 35 pages a minute. Its Executive Series twin, sold through dealers, was the ES8431. If one of them is still working for your business, this page sets out how long OKI will support it and what to plan for next.
The C831n turns out 35 colour pages a minute, on paper as large as A3. Its sales through OKI Australia finished in March 2021, and OKI's published support runs until 31 March 2028.
Dealers could buy the ES8431dn for one more year than the C831n; it came off sale in March 2022, and OKI Australia's support for it runs to 31 March 2029.
OKI's first C800 generation, and what to do as yours ages.
As published by the maker. Each one is checked over, and you see its page count before you commit.
There is no prize for replacing a printer that still works, so while OKI supports yours and the prints look right, carry on. Being among the earliest A3 OKIs, though, a C831 or ES8431 is likely to need more parts and visits as it ages, and the current C834 is the printer to move to when that happens. We can remove the old one in the same changeover (trade in).
A new C834 is available from us, as are secondhand OKI A3 printers, each checked and sold with its page count in writing. Delivery, network setup and a run through for your team are part of the price. With our service agreement in place, a machine that fails is replaced for the whole term.
Pay for it outright, or take a rental or lease once approved. Selected machines can be rented from $15 a week plus GST, and when a rental ends you can upgrade or hand the machine back.
Every one has a page of the maker's specifications. Ask about any and we will check what is available.
Describe the work the machine has to do, or name the model you want. We will come back with two or three that suit, each priced in writing, and the decision stays with you.

Keen on the OKI C831?
Tell us a little about your business. The reply, in writing, says if one is on hand, how many pages it has printed and what it costs. Every Gold Coast enquiry gets an answer the same business day it arrives.
Any machine we look after on a service agreement comes under our replacement warranty, whatever its age and however you paid for it. Rented, leased, financed or bought outright, new or secondhand: if it fails, we replace it. Cover runs for the whole term of the agreement, through to its final month.
The maker's warranty on a new copier normally lasts 12 months and takes in the hardware; consumables are not part of it. Past that first year, your protection comes from the service agreement. Every detail of the replacement warranty is set down in your agreement.
OKI Australia publishes support for the C831 to 31 March 2028, and for the ES8431 to 31 March 2029.
Mostly the sales channel. OKI offered the ES8431 to dealers as its Executive Series model, and kept it available twelve months after the C831 finished.
Yes, subject to approval: over three to five years for a new machine, or over a term set by its age for a secondhand one. Selected machines can be rented from $15 a week plus GST. Let us know which one you have in mind and we will send the figures in writing.
Questions about a machine, a quote or the agreement you are on now, answered by someone with decades in the trade. Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Every Gold Coast enquiry gets an answer the same business day it arrives.
