Review on ECOSYS P5021cdw Color Laser Printer by KYOCERA 1102RD2US0 by Bob Schultz

Bought to replace a previous color laser printer with built in duplex printing and card/envelope capability so the Kyocera P5021cdw should have at least all of these features and it does! Comes with an installation CD and light cartridges (1200 vs the standard 2200-2500 pages) which is so typical for new printers these days! Too bad a complete set of replacement cartridges costs more than a new printer! I'm using an Ethernet connection, so I can't comment on USB or wireless capabilities. The only reason I'm not giving this review 5 stars is the untested features, which I can't comment on, and the rather confusing menu of buttons on the printer. The driver software provides access to most features, so the printer buttons are not used. As stated in the spec, the time to create the first page is quite long, especially when waking up from sleep mode, but once that first page is done, getting subsequent double-sided pages every 4-5 seconds is impressive. and it is much quieter than its predecessor!
