Kyocera Mita FS-2100DN Printer Review

The Kyocera Mita FS-2100dn is a laser printer aimed at smaller offices and workgroups, with a maximum speed of 40 pages per minute. It starts with solid paper handling, with upgrade options available, and the cost per page of Kyocera Mita FS-2100dn printer toner supplies makes it one of the more cost-effective models in its class.

Paper handling is one of the unit's stronger suits, with a 500-sheet main paper tray and a second 100-sheet multipurpose tray. It can be expanded up to a maximum of 2,600 sheets with all optional trays added. The output resolution is 1,200 dpi, for sharp images and text. It also warms up in around 15 seconds, and it can print the first page in around 9 seconds or less.

The FS-2100dn includes both duplexing and networking, compared to the FS-2100d and FS-2100n models which include one of each feature. Despite its smaller footprint, the unit includes a Gigabit ethernet port and management features that are often seen only in larger models. The Kyocera NetViewer, for example, can help manage multiple devices from one interface, so IT managers can deploy a fleet of printers for each department.

Replacement toners are larger than the starter supply, which only provides a yield of around 6,000 pages. The standard Kyocera Mita FS-2100dn toner cartridge has a yield of 12,500 pages that will offer a fairly low cost per page. Compatible Kyocera Mita FS-2100dn toner cartridges are a bit more difficult to find than the OEM supplies, reducing users' options.

The FS-2100dn is an impressive choice for busy small offices, though it might be a little pricey for slim budgets. Its speed and sharp output quality are very appealing, however, and the low cost of Kyocera Mita FS-2100dn toner keeps it affordable to operate.
