KYOCERA CRUSHES IT IN THE HIGH-RANGE MONOCHROME COPIER MFP SPACES

"The KYOCERA TASKalfa 7003i, 8003i, and 9003i proved to be highly reliable in the nearly 500,000 impressions we ran on them total," said George Mikolay, Keypoint Intelligence's Associate Director of Copier MFP/Production Analysis. "When also taking into consideration the ease in which paper can be loaded, high paper capacities, and simple procedures for clearing misfeeds in the unlikely event that one should occur, these devices will keep your large workgroups productive, day in and day out. Outstanding guidance and creation of profiles from the driver and control panel make the engine equally easy to use whether printing or walking up to scan or copy, and image quality will far surpass the needs of general office environments. Low price points and above average feature sets make the value proposition for each device extremely enticing."

SHARP SHINES ACROSS COPIER MFP SEGMENTS

"We ran over one million impressions on Sharp copier MFPs this season, to exceptional overall results," said Mikolay. "As a whole, productivity results were better than other competitors. Short- and long-run jobs for printing, scanning, and copying were completed in a timely manner to allow users to remain effective and efficient. Above average memory for faster processing of jobs is another nicety, as is above average paper weight support for media flexibility. Strong reliability and above average maximum paper capacities mean less downtime for users to clear misfeeds or refill paper drawers. IT administrators will love the web user interface's intuitiveness and search and shortcut functionality. And Sharp's 'know one, know all' approach means users of the drivers and control panel will enjoy the same very good overall usability regardless of which machine is close to their particular workspace."
