Kyocera ECOSYS M6526cidn Toner Cartridges

Design

This is an A4 colour multifunction printer with a 33.6kbps fax, flatbed scanner, and digital copier, which are all part of a fairly compact and rugged frame that weighs 38.7kg and measures 514mm wide, 550mm deep, and 603mm tall. It is equipped with the Kyocera Ecosys technology, which works with HyPAS and colour laser technologies, and runs on 1024MB of memory. The Kyocera ECOSYS M6526cidn is powered by a 667MHz processor. Two USB host ports are on board with a high-speed USB 2.0 port, and for networking, there is gigabit Ethernet. The control panel's centrepiece is the simplified colour touch panel. Standard paper handling is through the 250-sheet universal paper cassette, 50-sheet multi-purpose tray, 150-sheet output bin, and the 50-sheet document processor.

Advantages

The memory is upgradeable to 2048MB, and paper capacity can be increased to 1,300 sheets. The print speed is up to 26ppm in colour and black and white. The duplexer works with the copier, fax, and scanner, too. The Kyocera ECOSYS M6526cidn can print directly from USB flash drives, smart phones, and tablets, and it supports AirPrint and similar services. Secure print and document processing can protect sensitive and confidential data. Toner save mode and low energy consumption help reduce overall printing and running costs. The Kyocera ECOSYS M6526cidn is highly customisable through the HyPAS solution platform. Quiet operation does not disrupt a small or cramped office.

Disadvantages

The internal interface and SD/SDHC card are optional in the Kyocera ECOSYS M6526cidn and there is no built-in Wi-Fi. The tall frame requires additional headroom for in-shelf or cabinet installations, while the heavy build of the Kyocera ECOSYS M6526cidn requires a steadier and sturdier surface for set-up.
