KYOCERA MITA launches compact and cost-effective A3 ECOSYS MFPs

Plug-and-play installation and superb ease of use bring A3 functionality to a new market

KYOCERA MITA (UK) Ltd today launched four new mid-speed ECOSYS MFPs which draw on the simplicity of ECOSYS technology to ensure unparalleled ease of use and management. Installation is as simple as “plug and play” meaning that the FS-6025MFP, FS-6030MFP, FS-C8020MFP and FS-C8025MFP will appeal to organisations that require professional and economical printing, copying and document distribution without the challenge of complex maintenance requirements.

All of the new devices benefit from fully customisable colour touch panels, which use wizard-style navigation to guide users through everyday tasks. Access to functions can be defined by user, enabling organisations to retain control of colour print and copy volumes, while logging into the devices is as simple as pressing the relevant user name or user photo icon on the touch panel.

Jonathan Robbins, Product Manager at Kyocera Mita UK commented: “In a budget-conscious climate, customers need devices that offer the greatest functionality at the most economical price. We’ve made these new MFPs as easy to install, use and maintain as an A4 printer, while also ensuring that running costs are comparably low. They effectively offer everything that you would expect to see in an A4 MFP, with the added bonus of A3 functionality.”

The new devices have advanced features which are consistent with KYOCERA MITA’s higher end products and which will enhance productivity for users. These include a 500-sheet staple finisher, colour scan-to-email, scan-to-PC and scan-to-USB functions as well as 600dpi printing and copying at speeds ranging from 20-35 pages per minute, depending on product.

The 360 degree design and compact size of the new products mean that they can be installed in any location in the office, while their remarkably low noise generation – around the same level as a desktop printer – ensures that they are not a source of disturbance for users working in close proximity.

In common with all of KYOCERA MITA’s ECOSYS products the new MFPs benefit from long life drums and cartridge-free technology, which ensure high reliability, low maintenance requirements, and very low running costs and waste.
