Kyocera Mita FS-C5150DN Printer Review

As one of the smaller models in its line, the Kyocera Mita FS-C5150DN (sometimes referred to as the FS-C5150) color laser printer isn't overly fast, at up to 23 pages per minute. It does come at a more affordable price, however, which should appeal to small office users on a budget. Add to this the economical cost of Kyocera Mita FS-C5150DN printer toner, and you have an inexpensive solution for a shared office.

As its model name implies, the FS-C5150DN includes both automatic duplexing and networking built right in. Duplexing can make an office more economical by printing on both sides of the page, reducing paper waste, and the networking support allows the entire office to access the printer, with a very easy setup process.

The unit's initial paper capacity might seem a bit limited at first, with only a 250-sheet main tray and a 50-sheet multipurpose tray on hand. Up to two additional 500-sheet trays can be added to the bottom of the machine, however, providing a maximum of 1,300 sheets of input capacity. This should be a boon for small office users on a budget, as they can grow the device over time to meet their expanding needs.

One of the main differences between this model and its larger brothers is the capacity of toners. The high-capacity Kyocera Mita FS-C5150DN toner cartridges can provide 2,800 pages for each color and 3,500 pages for black. While this is quite good, it means that the cost per page for Kyocera Mita FS-C5150DN toner cartridges is a bit higher than the larger devices in its line.

The FS-C5150DN is an impressive machine that should hit a sweet spot of speed, affordability, and even expandability for small to medium offices. If buyers don't mind a slightly higher cost per page for Kyocera Mita FS-C5150DN toner, it is an excellent value for the price.
