Kyocera Mita FS-1920 Toner Cartridges

Kyocera Mita FS-1920 Printer Review

Offices with high-volume needs and a growing business will benefit from the addition of the Kyocera-Mita FS-1920 laser printer. Though it lacks color capabilities, this monochrome unit will deliver professional-quality prints at an efficient rate. Lifetime maintenance costs will be minimal, as there is only one Kyocera-Mita FS-1920 toner cartridge that will need to be replaced. It has features that can be upgraded so the FS-1920 can grow with increasing workloads.

The single Kyocera-Mita FS-1920 toner cartridge holds only black printer toner and has a maximum page yield of 15,000 prints. The high yield will make for low cost per page, qualifying this unit as budget-friendly. Compatible Kyocera-Mita FS-1920 toner is available from third party vendors, which will make the overall cost of the machine even more affordable.

There is an LCD screen on the top panel that makes it easy for users to manage tasks. An optional duplex unit provides the ability to print double-sided if needed. Networking is not an included feature, as the only connection options are USB and parallel ports, but universal ethernet adapters are always available. The 125,000 page monthly duty cycle allow the FS-1920 to handle large tasks, but its lack of compatibility with Mac operating systems will limit the consumers it appeals to.

Text documents have professional quality due to the maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi created by the Kyocera-Mita FS-1920 toner. However, this quality will not produce excellent graphics quality. The output rate is 19 pages per minute, which is not the best on the market, but should suffice for most offices. The paper capacity and memory are expandable features. The two trays that are built-in hold 600 sheets of paper, but additional trays will increase that to 2,600 sheets. The memory starts at 32 MB but can be upgraded to 288 MB if needed.
