Kyocera Document Solutions introduces two A3 Smart MFPs

The technology used in the successful predecessors has been further refined to reduce the Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) by 20% in the new FS-C8520MFP and FS-C8525MFP, with the power consumption reduced to 0.9W in sleep mode. HyPAS functionality is now possible with a compact flash card for customization requests. Lastly, the 1.5GB standard memory enables extra security solutions, including private print functionality.

Kyocera calls their new FS-C8520MFP and FS-C8525MFP Smart MFPs because they combine ease of use, reliability and low environmental impact in a compact design. Both models are easy to operate with an intuitive colour touch panel that gives quick access to all functions. The set-up and installation is straightforward with the installation wizard. Thanks to the toner-only technology, which, along with long-life components, is part of the Kyocera Ecosys concept, the new devices have a low environmental impact and require minimal servicing, as the end-user only needs to replace the toner. When printing up to 200,000 pages over the device's lifespan, or 3,000 pages per month, there is no need for a service or maintenance contract, which is a standard requirement for most other A3 MFPs on the market. The device's printing capacity can be extended with an additional maintenance kit.

“Kyocera’s new Smart MFPs offer a good solution for small to medium businesses with a small budget, but who want the functionalities and benefits of a professional A3 colour MFP,” explains Noriko Ishii, Product Manager Kyocera Document Solutions Europe. “Especially as these attractive models with their compact 360° design, are easy to use, easy to install and easy to maintain and have 20% lower energy consumption than the models they replace.”

* HyPAS (Hybrid Platform for Advanced Solutions) optimises the performance of Kyocera MFPs through a series of custom, integrated software applications to enhance information sharing, to optimise resources and to improve existing, as well as future document workflows.
