Kyocera Mita FS-C5250DN Printer Review

In addition to its basic title of Kyocera FS-C5250DN, the device is also referred to as the FS-C5250DN, which denotes the inclusion of duplexing, which is two-sided printing, and also networking support, so the machine can easily be connected to a network and shared with many users in an office. This is an improvement over other models in its line that did not include these features, nor even offered them as optional upgrades.

The duplex feature is a particular highlight, as users can set the machine to automatically print on both sides of pages, which can actually reduce paper usage to almost half. Add this to the reasonable price of Kyocera FS-C5250DN toner, which helps save on printer toner costs, and you have a fairly economical machine.

Print speed is one aspect where the FS-C5250DN falls a bit short of its competitors, at only 28 pages per minute. Its affordable price and compact design are probably the main reasons for this disadvantage, however, and may be worth it for some buyers who aren't as picky about having the fastest speeds on the market. It does have the ability to be expanded for extra paper capacity.

When replacing toners, there are four separate Kyocera FS-C5250DN toner cartridges in the system. The separation of the Kyocera FS-C5250DN toner cartridges makes the process a little more complicated, but eliminates the waste involved with replacing colors before they are totally empty. The Kyocera FS-C5250DN toner provides very accurate color representation, which makes for high-quality prints, and the interpolated 9600 dpi gives the look of much higher resolutions.

The Kyocera FS-C5250DN is an economical model that gives color laser quality at a fairly reasonable price. The inclusion of duplexing and networking really add to its value, though its speeds aren't particularly impressive.
