Kyocera CB-700 - printer stand

Advantages: Fast, Reliable, Easy to Feed paper
Disadvantages: It doesnt fit into standard computer desks,

...After my negative last printer review, I’ve decided to review another of our collection. The Kyocera FS 680 is my personal favourite. Which is a strange thing to admit under the circumstances!! About a year ago while in the process of finding new printers my boss suggested this one, to which I recalled what the hell is the point in buying it…We need A3 minimum and definitely something capable of printing colour. My boss inevitably ignored my comments and headed straight out to purchase this. Incredibly this printer has since become a god send. Although only able to print A4 and black and white, this printer consistently chugs away day after day without a glitch. Before I launch into a buy now buy now speech I’ll tell you the features of the printer and let you decide! Compatibility: This printer as with most is compatible... Read review

Advantages: Very reliable, low cost per page
Disadvantages: None

...I bought first Kyocera FS 5030N for my company at February 2007. After six months we own another four of those. It shows how satisfied I am with quality of that product. First quick description. It's medium speed (24 pages per minute), color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, blacK), laser printer with network interface (letter N on the end of a product name). It prints with same speed for B/W and color documents. Maximum print resolution is 600x600dpi. It warms up in 80sec from power on, time to first page is 12sec. Inside sits processor PowerPC 750FX/600MHz with 128MB RAM, expandable to 1024MB. It has smallest footprint (35x47x39cm) in its class. Offers very easy access to toners and waste toner tank. Each toner stands for printing 8k pages (in lab conditions of course, in real those numbers highly depends on average page coverage), which... Read review

Advantages: Good value for money. Quality output. Fast.
Disadvantages: The paper tray jams. Not very user friendly.

...is perfectly fine! A small green plastic thing popped out of the back of the paper tray yesterday, and I can't seem to get it back in. This may have something to do with its poor performance, but it is a brand-new printer, only a few weeks old and never worked very well from the start! The printer seems to jam most frequently when I try to print labels or envelopes. The envelope feeder tray is also fiddly to use and this is down to the lack of generally decent build quality. I know this is a cheap printer, but Kyocera seem to have cut too many corners in its design to keep the price down. I can't comment on manufacturer support, as we use this in an office enviorenment and this is done in-house. The repair man came today and confirmed what I thought - the paper jam is due to a design fault and the little green thing was critical... Read review
