Kyocera Mita FS 1016mfp
If you’re in the market for a laser printer for your small business, the Kyocera Mita FS-1016mfp might be the ideal device. Built to exacting standards by Kyocera this is a printer, copier and scanner all in one chassis.
The FS-1016mfp only measures 180 x 392 x 489mm yet does an awful lot in that small space. The mixture of gray and blue on the covers adds a nice element of color to the box. The paper outputs in the middle of the machine, which is a novel way of doing things, it doesn’t leave you free to continue to use the document handler on top this way.
The printer outputs at 16 pages per minute at 600 dpi, with the copier doing exactly the same. The quality is good, being able to produce good looking prints with a clarity that is surprising for such a small machine. The copier runs just as fast, producing accurate and credible copies at 16 pages per minute. Images are reproduced with nothing to complain about in the finished article. In all cases the edges were sharp, with no banding or artifacts which should satisfy even the most demanding users.
There is an automatic document feeder that sits on top, which can handle standard sized paper. The scanner produces good quality scans at 300 dpi and up to 2400 dpi using software interpolation.
Installation is simple, with USB, parallel and serial connections. Driver installation is quick and offers enough to satisfy even the most demanding users. There is the standard 250 page paper drawer which is sited at the bottom. There is also a little paper window which shows how much paper is left in the drawer. This is such a simple idea, yet immensely useful.
The control panel is clean and clear, the 2 line grey LCD screen bright and easy to read. There are buttons each features, print, copy and scan which are clear and easy to use.
The FS-1016mfp is a good choice for a small business. It has enough going for it to keep the office productive and is reliable enough to not break down too often. The Kyocera quality build is evident throughout and their comprehensive guarantee is enough to settle even the most nervous minds.

Kyocera Mita FS 4000dn
The first of two things you really pay for in a laser printer is speed, the second is print quality. If you want a fast printer, with the ability to share it across a network, there is often a considerable price premium. The FS-4000DN from Kyocera Mita is rated at 45 pages per minute and will serve any workgroup. Well.
The design is conventional enough, a cube shaped device with a sloping control panel at the front. It includes a backlit 2 line display and an panel of eight buttons.
Five hundred sheets of paper can fit into the FS-4000DNs main paper tray and there is also a fold-down multi-purpose tray which can take a further 100 sheets of paper, envelopes and other odd shaped media.
If this isn’t enough there is also the option to expand paper handling, a cabinet and memory upgrades.
Printer manufacturers always seem to rate their machines by printing documents in draft mode. This means their headline figures should be taken with a small pinch of salt. Draft mode is perfectly acceptable, and often used in office situations for proofing and checking before beginning a large print run. The fastest print speed we achieved in normal print mode was 14 pages per minute, less than a third of the claimed top speed. Using the built-in duplexer we produced a two-sided document at 23 sides per minute, closer to the claimed speed of 33.5 pages per minute.
The print quality is fine for text print, which is proper black and precise, the same can be said for photos and business graphics. In both cases the results were detailed enough for almost any use. They won’t win prizes, but they are plenty good enough for a laser printer. If you want to print photographs and business graphics, you would be shopping for an inkjet not a laser.
The Kyocera drum design means it’s a lifetime part and will never need changing. The only consumable other than paper will be toner, which lasts 20,000 pages per high yield cartridge. That will set you back around $50, which makes the cost per page ridiculously low.
While the Kyocera Mita FS-4000dn might not be the obvious choice for a busy office, the brand is known for its reliability. They are well designed, well built office machines. That’s why the brand is so popular.
