The perfect balance of technical parameters, speed and low cost makes Kyocera FS-1040 an ideal solution for organizing printing in small workgroups. Another successful area of its application is at home. Also, with the help of this peripheral device, it is possible to partially cover the printing needs within a small copy-center. It is about this laser printer that will be discussed later.
Pick list
Impeccable grade Kyocera FS-1040. Reviews at the same time indicate: it is enough to start using the purchased printing device for its intended purpose right out of the box. The manufacturer included in it:
Technology for obtaining documents. Resolution Characteristics
The laser printing principle is the basis of the Kyocera FS-1040. Reviews, as a rule, highlight such important advantages as speed and low cost of the received copy. Also, laser technology is focused on large enough print volumes. But the negative sides include a fairly low print quality compared to inkjet. The key factor that affects this is the low resolution of the received documents. In this case, its highest value is only 600X600. If you print text documentation, in which charts, pictures and other images are sometimes found, then this resolution is quite enough to obtain sufficiently high-quality documentation. But if there is a goal to get a high-quality photo, albeit a monochrome one, then nothing will work out: for this, it is imperative to use inkjet printers or multifunction devices.
Cartridge
The Kyocera FS-1040 printer is completed with a cartridge of the TK-1110 model. The initial refueling, according to the manufacturer, should be enough for 1700-1800 sheets. The next refueling will increase this value to 2500 pages. The largest monthly print volume for this peripheral device is 10,000 pages. At a similar intensity of use of this printer, the cartridge will have to be refilled 4 times a month. The resource of the selenium drum itself, which is used in the cartridge for printing is 100,000 pages, and it certainly will last for a long time under intensive operation.
PC connection
The one and only connection method is implemented in Kyocera FS-01040. Moreover, it can be most often found in most multifunctional devices and printers. This is USB. All modern personal computers are sufficiently equipped with such ports, and any problems when connecting to a PC should not arise. Of course, additional connection methods in this case would certainly not be superfluous. But this is an entry-level printing device, and one does not have to expect a large interface set from it for the reason that in this case the cost comes to the fore. And to make it as low as possible, the developers equipped this printing solution with just one way to connect.
Performance. Formats
Very good performance (for an economy-class laser printer) boasts the Kyocera FS-1040. It only takes 14 seconds to warm up after switching on. He will need only 8.5 seconds to display the first page. Well, in the future it can print at a speed of 20 A4 pages per minute. As you might guess, A4 is in this case the largest paper size 297 mm long and 210 mm wide. Also in the list of supported formats for this printer is A5, A6, B5 and even letter. The density of the printing paper in this case should be in the range from 60 to 220 g / m 2 . That is, even on whatman paper, glossy and matte paper with high density, this printer can output.
Reviews and cost at the moment
Today, the Kyocera FS-1040 printer is priced at 7,000 rubles. Reviews of this cost are attributed to the advantages of the device. Next, you need to add speed, low cost of toner and an impressive amount of print per month to this list. The minus in this case is only one: a very, very modest communication set. But in the case of a budget printing solution, one certainly cannot expect anything else.
And what is the end result?
Flawless and perfect was the entry-level printer Kyocera FS-1040. This is really great for a small workgroup, home use, or even a small copy center. It is in these cases that its use will be justified both economically and technically.
