fs1800This monochrome desktop laser printer, the Kyocera FS-1800 Printer, has shown itself to be a reliable and hard working choice. Better Buys for Business chose it as their Editors Choice. The combination of the features that come standard plus those that are optional make it easy to find a variation that will work the way you need it to.

Printer memory is 8MB in its standard configuration but can be increased to as much as 264MB. There is a 200MHz processor, which helps to output a very respectable number of pages per minute. Because the printer processes the file completely first and then stores it, it is able to print at the speed of the engine rather than the controller.

As for the speed of this printer, it is worth taking note. Time to warm up is under 16 seconds while time for first printout is under 9. 5. Pages can be output at a rate of 19 per minute for letter-sized and 15 pages per minute for legal.

Print quality is not compromised by the speed of the printer, standard output resolution is 1200 dpi. And despite the high quality resolution, the printing is still managed at a low cost per page. Comparisons that have been made to competitors show a high rate of savings over time.

One of the reasons for this cost savings is the technology of the drum. It enables the drum to be longer lasting than the typical cartridge variety of printer drum. This saves you money as well as decreases the amount of waste resulting in a more environmentally friendly printer.

The standard paper drawer holds an entire ream or 500 sheets. The multi-purpose tray that comes standards holds 100 sheets. They can be used with the normal type of bond paper as well as paper that is recycled, transparencies, labels and envelopes.

There are additional options available dependent upon the paper handling needs of your office. These include options for more sheets of paper as well as trays that will hold alternate sized paper, for example, envelopes. Other options enable you to sort your printouts.

As these options easily added, you are able to begin with the basic model and purchase other options as needed. This makes it especially flexible for businesses and their often-changing requirements. It can also be used for different workgroups that make have different needs.

Users on several different platforms can use the FS-1800 plus, including Mac, Windows, Novell and Unix. It can be used with different versions of each OS so users with different systems can still use the same printer. There is a version of the printer available that is network ready as well.

Use of forms is made easier with this printer. A utility called PRESCRIBE enables the creation of forms that are customized. In addition, bar codes can be easily printed.

For a high quality printer that can keep working for you, it is worth looking at the Kyocera FS-1800 Plus toner. The replacement toner from Qtoner will cost a little bit in the beginning. However, with the amount you can save on the Kyocera toner, you should realize overall cost savings.
