Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Efficient Color MFP Laser: KYOCERA ECOSYS M5526cdw - White/Black, A4 Size by Wiktor Lisowicz แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is the most common, it could be worse.

Taking into account the fact that there is not a single review about this model on amazon, which I love, I decided to leave my own. The MFP was purchased 2 days ago for a small office. The kit included a disk with drivers (I donโ€™t know how popular it is with other manufacturers, but in our team no one had a slot for a disk on a laptop). The kyoceradocumentsolutions website offers a lot of drivers for fax, scanner (another story), but without some convenient application that I'm used to using Samsung MFPs for example. The required driver is called "KX driver with extended port monitor for 2022 market", after installing which you will be able to print via Wi-Fi. After setting up a key aspect of the hardware, the next thing to deal with was scanning. Not at office site, nor in the attached instruction manual for the MFP there is no clear description of how to set it up! I started searching on the Internet, found many ways to set up a scanner on an MFP of this company, which indicates a large-scale problem for the manufacturer. After none of the methods helped, I had to call those. support. Upon the arrival of the engineer and flashing, we still fought for 20-30 minutes with the setting, after which we managed to set it up. I conclude: It is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE for an ordinary ordinary user to set up a scanner for this model. Setup includes many procedures and nuances. Of course, my loyalty as a user to this manufacturer has fallen to the bottom, the sensations are terrible. Now I will write instructions for colleagues on how to set up the scanner, or we will hand over the device under warranty. (you can write to pavlenkoans@. ru, I'll send it to you). I will say right away that for users of Windows 8-10 there is an application in the Microsoft store called Kyocera Print Center. How much easier it is to set up - I donโ€™t know, but ANYWHERE is not written about the application. Also, after installing the original cartridges, the MFP will not work well with non-original ones, so it was necessary to immediately download non-original ones. Overall, the experience is bad (1.5 out of 5).

Pros
  • - quality of printing, scanning; - speed of printing, scanning. - automatic double-sided paper feeder when scanning; - functionality.
Cons
  • - difficult interface; - complex scanner setup (so that the user receives an image immediately on the computer when scanning); - nowhere is it written about the Kyocera Print Center application; - Very poor support.
