Question 1

Does the oki c531dn come with full standard toner cartridges or starter cartridges?

Accepted Answer

What I found is that this printer comes with starter cartridges, but even this starter cartridges last longer than I expected, it will depends how much and how often you will use it. I made a lot of tests with a full color prints and still have more than half of the toners, very good economic printer, I've heard that the toners are expensive, if the starter cartridges last this longer, the full standard cartridges will worth the money, definitely.

Question 2

automatic duplexing?

Accepted Answer

Don, if you specify in the printer preferences to always print on both sides, all print jobs going to the printer should use the duplexer unless manually told otherwise.

Question 3

Does this printer come with toner?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but most printers are sold with "starter" toner cartridges which limit the amount of pages you can print.  That's how they keep the price down.  This printer gives approx. 700 sheets before you need to purchase each color toner; the new cartridges allow about 1500 sheets, if I'm remembering correctly.
