Kyocera Mita FS-C5200 Toner Cartridges

Kyocera Mita FS-C5200 Printer Review

The Kyocera-Mita FS-C5200 is an excellent color laser printer for small offices. With a warm-up time of up to 44 seconds, it is a little slow, but its quick output rate should be satisfying to most. It can print up to 23 pages per minute in black-and-white or color, and it can print its first pages out in less than 12 seconds. It comes standard with a memory of 256 MB, and it has the ability to produce about 100,000 pages each month. Duplex printing is also built into this 64-pound machine.

The FS-C5200 shouldn't take up too much space with dimensions of 13.6x20.4x18.9 inches. Though it is rather compact, it still houses four Kyocera-Mita FS-C5200 toner cartridges. These are filled with cyan, magenta, yellow and black printer toner. The color toners will produce up to 6,000 pages each and the black will last for 7,000 pages before replacements will be needed. Using the Kyocera-Mita FS-C5200 toner cartridges, resolutions as high as 600x600 dpi are possible. Though many models will offer resolutions that are a lot higher, most offices that print only text will find this machine to be more than useful.

Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac operating systems are all supported by this unit, and optional automatic document feeders can be added at any time for a small fee. Using the Kyocera-Mita FS-C5200 toner, bond paper, recycled paper, labels, cardstock, coated paper, labels, preprinted paper, letterhead paper, colored paper and rough paper can all be printed on. Most sizes of each are supported by this laser printer too—letter, legal, A4, A5, A6, B5 and B6 paper are all compatible, and up to 2,150 sheets can be stored in its input trays at one time. Overall, this unit should be both affordable and easy to maintain while meeting all of the needs for any small office environment.
