Kyocera Mita FS-1018 Toner Cartridges

Kyocera Mita FS-1018 Printer Review

The Kyocera Mita FS-1018 is a multi-functioning laser printer built for small offices. It has a monthly duty cycle of 10,000 pages; however, the manufacturer suggests using the machine only 1,500 pages per month for optimal performance. This makes it suitable for home offices with high print needs as well. It can scan, copy and print, and it does each function quickly and efficiently. Its lack of wireless printing might be a little outdated for more current offices, but for home offices, wired printing is generally just fine. Its USB ports are the only means of connection.

Its speeds are impressive, and its 25 seconds warm-up time is a testament of that. It has a first page out time for printing and copying of only 11 seconds, which means buyers won't find themselves waiting often. It can print its black-and-white prints in less than 16 pages per minute.

This monochrome machine only uses one Kyocera Mita FS-1018 toner cartridge filled with black printer toner. The Kyocera Mita FS-1018 toner has the ability to reach resolutions as high as 600x600 dpi for printing and copying, which will leave text documents looking professional. The Kyocera Mita FS-1018 toners can last up to 7,200 pages, and the cost per page is very low—much lower than similar products on the market.

The Kyocera Mita FS-1018 toner cartridges have the ability to print on plain paper, envelopes, labels, bond paper, recycled paper and labels, which are all supported by this machine. The 1018 is compatible with Windows operating systems only, and USB port is high speed. Up to 99 copies can be created from each original document as well, and enlargements and reductions of 25%-400% are supported. The scanner can scan TIFF, PDF, JPEG and BMP files, and can hit resolutions as high as 1200x1200 dpi.
