Kyocera Mita FS-C5100 Toner Cartridges

Kyocera Mita FS-C5100 Printer Review

Although it may not be the most well known brand on the market, Kyocera Mita is one of the most reliable. For a mid-level to large sized office, the Kyocera-Mita FS-C5100 specifically will be reliable, with its ability to produce decent speeds and high resolutions. This machine will be a great addition for those looking for a laser printer that can produce about 60,000 pages every month with litter maintenance. Weighing 61.8 pounds, it is quite robust and hard to carry, but its size is compact at only 13.6x20.4x18 inches. The FS-C5100 comes standard with 156 MB, which can be upgraded to 1280 MB if needed.

Four separate Kyocera-Mita FS-C5100 toner cartridges are needed for printing, and these are filled with black, cyan, yellow and magenta printer toner. These toners should last a decent amount of time before expiring. Using the Kyocera-Mita FS-C5100 toner, resolutions up to 600x600 dpi can be reached. This maximum resolution is not as impressive as some similar models, but for those planning on printing text and basic graphics, it should do just fine. Its first page out time is less 12 seconds, and it can produce up to 23 pages per minute. A duplexer comes standard as well, allowing automatic double-sided printing.

Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems are all supported by the FS-C5100, and up to 1,400 sheets of paper can fit in the input trays. Bond paper, recycled paper, labels, cardstock, coated paper, postcards, envelopes, transparencies, letterheads and pre-printed paper all have the ability to be printed on, and most sizes are supported too, such as letter, legal, A4, A5, A6, B5 and B6. All around, this isn't the fastest or the fanciest color laser printer out there, but it can print high quality documents, and replacement Kyocera-Mita FS-C5100 toner cartridges are affordable and easy to install.
