    I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

    I use for a small private enterprise. Printing documentation, labels, stickers, business cards, plastic panels of electrical equipment, film keyboards, photomasks for UV printing.

    Pros
    • Workhorse. Double-sided printing with a resolution of 1200x1200dpi. Bought in Abius in September 2022. He cost me 20 along with delivery. In addition, I bought a Mitsubishi toner in the expense box, 550g each. each color. (this is another 12 with delivery) Total 32 The original toner immediately poured out of the cartridges. From the factory there were 16g of color and 19g of black. Filled full cartridges with purchased toner. When the toner runs out, the printer reports an error, which is reset using the buttons on the control panel. I worked at one gas station for 2 years and started reporting an error. Black ended completely, colored less than half. Refueled, reset the errors and work on. It turns out that with such a consumption of black toner, there will be enough for another 10-15 refills, and color may be more. It is unlikely that I will use it for 20-40 years)), but you can count on ten years, in this situation. Let's see.
    Cons
    • The scanner has a resolution of 600x600 dpi. With a print resolution of 1200x1200, this is more than strange. Also, I don’t know how native toner works. The one that I fell asleep supposedly Mitsubishi works, but there are jambs. The blue tint on paper prints with artifacts. Not always and not very noticeable. Depends on the quality of the image itself. If you print a few blue pictures, then it seems to normalize. Printing on film with this toner is a lottery. Both black and color toner do not adhere well. Sometimes it turns out well the first time, but more often you have to run it again. Fortunately, the printer feeds paper and film well and re-image matches are about 60-70%. It turns out from ten sheets of film - 6-7 is normal, the rest is for discarding. This is the price of the consequences of using non-original toner.

    I like everything, the price and the quality are both ok.

    Unfortunately, there is no other option available that can compare in terms of price and the quality of its use. There is a color laser office printer that, if it weren't for the moodiness brought on by the humidity, would be wonderful. Got pros: Consumable prices are inexpensive and sensible, and they are virtually always the best in their market. In a broad sense, the economy revolves around him. Having this drawback: It is cumbersome, the quality of the scan is poor, and the preparation for…

    The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

    Within ten minutes, I was able to connect to the Wi-Fi network at home. Integrated into a sophisticated application. Wonderful! Your mobile device will now begin printing as well as scanning to both it and the cloud. Sending it in the mail is something I haven't tried yet, but I have no doubt that it will be successful as well! Great device. This is an excellent option for a home or private workplace.

    There are pros and cons, think before buying.

    Unfortunately, the price range of up to 20,000 dollars does not include any multifunction color laser printers that are compact, have a long cartridge resource, and automatically scan on both sides of the page. (Or was my search ineffective?). They bought it for usage in their home (my wife frequently scans and prints children's books in English, color; children are not interested in black and white books), and they bought a laser multifunction printer (MFP) because the ink on it dries out in a

    Pros
    • 1. A somewhat lower price than those offered by competitors. 2. They state that you can "turn off" the chips and add toner, but I haven't attempted either of those things yet because the starter cartridges are still full.
    Cons
    • 1. The intricacy of the operation (for the husband, whose wife is the primary user of color printing). When compared to her inkjet (color multifunction printer), which has three buttons, is simple to use, and can print on cardboard, this Kyocera printing gadget comes out on the losing end of the comparison. 2. It has trouble handling thick paper like as drawing paper and frequently jams. 3. An instruction manual that has more than 400 pages but provides little to no useful information (I've seen considerably shorter manuals with roughly the same font size that provided a great deal more useful information). More or less informative guide, but the global site only offers it in English. the question is, how much "water" is there? 4. There is no capability for duplex scanning (they could have included this feature in addition to the duplex printing function, and the price of the multifunction printer would not have increased very much). 5. It is defined by the operating system (Win 7) as five separate printers, scanners, and faxes (but each is configured independently, which can be a benefit); after installing the drivers, there is no standard scanning through twain; instead, third-party software products are required, such as a fine reader. 6. The control panel has a lot of unnecessary buttons (it doesn't really bother me, but my wife doesn't like it), and the display is small, so you have to squint to read it.

    There are deviations, in general it is tolerable.

    I bought a laser machine for the first time, because. I rarely print, my inkjet always dried up. There are no problems with printing, for half a year nothing jammed, did not jam. But setting it up is a breeze. Who says that they set up wi-fi, or they lie, or they know something more than the documentation. It did not work out for me, I got the impression that this model does not have its support at all. Setting up scanning to a file on a computer is not real at all, you need to pass a bunch of

    Pros
    • Making a copy or printing a document is not a problem.
    Cons
    • Difficulties in setting.

    Good product for me, no problems at all.

    Pros below: This is the second one. I bought one for the house, it works well, stably. The quality/price is very reasonable. The colors are ok if the paper is good to use. I refill the cartridge for 950, which is very cheap and enough for 2500 pages. Cons: Setting up direct wi-fi is difficult (I suffered for 2 hours). Sending by mail, etc. directly from him uncomfortable. Therefore, everything through the computer and applications .

    Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

    Connected via Wi-Fi to the home network in 10 minutes. Installed on a smart application. Wonderful! Your phone starts printing, scanning to your phone, and to the cloud. I haven't tested sending by mail yet, but I think it will also pass without problems! Great device. For a small office, this is a great choice.

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    Nice price, good quality.

    Not that it's a drawback, but after 3 months it became obvious that two-sided printing is good, but two-sided scanning (which is not here and cannot be) is better. Sadness. And so the device fully justifies its purpose and cost. And in general, the Kyocera technique does not fail so far. Pros: Scans to a USB flash drive, sends by email, does not jam paper, quite economical. With its cons: Found the same glitch that really interferes. SMTP Auth (to send scans by mail now everywhere you need to…

    Overall it's good but I expect more, there are some downsides.

    Unfortunately, there are no compact laser color MFPs with an extended cartridge resource and automatic two-sided scanning in the price range up to 20 thousand. (Or did I search badly?). They took it for home use (my wife quite often scans and prints children's books in English, color (black and white children are not interested)), they took a laser MFP due to the property of the ink to dry out in a short time, otherwise they would have taken an inkjet. I can’t say that I am very disappointed…

    Pros
    • 1. Cheaper (not much) than competitors. 2. They say you can "turn off" the chips, add toner (I haven't tried it yet, the starter cartridges haven't run out).
    Cons
    • 1. The complexity of operation (for the wife, she mostly needs color printing). She has an inkjet (color MFP) with three buttons, easy to operate, which also prints on cardboard, the comparison is not in favor of this device from Kyocera. 2. Poorly takes thick paper like drawing paper (frequent jams). 3. More than 400 pages of non-informative instruction manual (I saw noticeably smaller (approximately the same font), but much more informative manuals). More or less informative guide only in English on the global site, but how much "water" is there. 4. There is no duplex scanning (they could have done it in addition to the duplex printing function, the MFP would not have risen much in price). 5. It is defined by the operating system (win 7) as five separate printers / scanners / faxes (but each is configured separately, which can be an advantage), after installing the drivers there is no normal scanning through twain (third-party software products are needed, like a fine reader). 6. A lot of extra buttons on the control panel (it doesn’t really annoy me, my wife doesn’t like it), the display is small, you have to peer to read it.

    A valuable purchase, some advantages!

    I’ll add a little to the general knowledge base my next experience of setting up sending scans to email, from the beginning I set up mail for one well-known mailer, the printer passed all the tests, but during the scan I received error 3101, this is something related to authentication, although it’s strange, OK, then I returned to , but it was not possible to set it up from the beginning, as it turned out in the mailbox itself, support for the pop3 protocol was disabled, turned it on and…

    Pros
    • The speed of printing, scanning, fast warming up even if it was turned off, compared to the models of 2022, the software has been improved in this one, the settings have been simplified via the web interface, and more options for working with the printer from the computer have been made
    Cons
    • I now have starter cartridges and the consumption is, of course, decent, since there is little toner initially, I will buy original ones a little expensive, of course, but in new cartridges there is more toner and it will be twice cheaper to print, I just need to survive it, but I don’t want to take risks with refills and non-original cartridges , the printer is a little heavy so that later it can be worn around service centers

    Revainrating 2 out of 5

    The quality is at zero, very sorry for the money spent.

    I bought it home for the children a couple of months ago, everything was fine printing, scanning with a bang, but later disappointment came when I stopped printing and began to write that the black toner had run out, how so! along with the printer, a pack of 500 sheets of paper was bought, 400 sheets were printed from it and that's all, the children printed term papers and essays 90% of plain text, the TK-5230K cartridge says that 2200-2600 pages should be enough. I decided to refuel, refueling

    Pros
    • The print speed is good, the print quality is not bad, there were no problems with the settings.
    Cons
    • Consumables - the cartridge runs out quickly.

    Good product, more pros than cons.

    Unfortunately, it is impossible to find an alternative for the price / quality of use. If it weren’t for moodiness in terms of humidity, there would be an ideal color laser office printer Got pros: Inexpensive, reasonable price for consumables (almost the best in the segment). In general, the economy is about him. With its cons: It takes a long time to prepare for printing, it's heavy, the quality of the scan. A separate problem is that he doesn’t want to work regularly in winter because of the

    Prints Defective Pages, Slowly

    This printer is a complete disappointment. Despite arriving in good condition, it frequently prints pages with poor ink quality with jagged lines or smudges. What's more disheartening is how slow it is compared to its contemporaries. While it is a budget-friendly option, its performance leaves a lot to be desired, making it unsuitable for busy offices and productive environments.

    Pros
    • Affordable
    Cons
    • Defective Prints, Slow Performance

    Quality Machine for Laser Printer

    I love the quality and reliability of Kyocera and finally have my own! I had to buy a set of ink cartridges when I ordered the machine because it comes with very little to get you started. I wish I knew about this because the device doesn't work when you want a color. This is one of the things I absolutely dislike so far, but other than that it works great!
