Kyocera Mita FS-C8520 Printer Review

At first glance, the slow speeds and simple design of the Kyocera Mita FS-C8520 may not seem overly appealing. Looking closer, however, buyers will find it to be an affordable machine with a lot to offer, from printing, scanning, and copying to its network sharing features. Its compact size keeps it from taking up too much space, and capacities for Kyocera Mita FS-C8520 printer toner supplies are a good fit for small or medium offices.

The FS-C8520 starts out at a fairly small size that is perfect for offices with limited space. A weight of 176 pounds includes the four toners, and does mean it will require a little help during setup. A maximum input paper capacity of 1,600 sheets leaves a lot of room for future expansion, even though the base model includes only a 500-sheet main paper drawer and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray.

Network scanning features are some of the machine's best highlights, with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder for fast, efficient scanning of multi-page documents. It is capable of scanning up to 20 images per minute, which is perfect for converting old paper documents to digital copies. A Gigabit ethernet port even makes for faster network sharing for networks that support the protocol.

The Kyocera Mita FS-C8520 toner cartridges will last for a fairly long time under average conditions, thanks to yields of 6,000 pages for each color supply and 12,000 pages for black. This is good news, as replacing all four Kyocera Mita FS-C8520 toner cartridges can be expensive.

The FS-C8520 starts out with the features users need the most, with optional upgrades to round out its feature set over time. Buyers might be disappointed in its output speed of only 20 pages per minute, however, and Kyocera Mita FS-C8520 toner is expensive to replace.
