Kyocera released the KM-C2525E in the summer of 2007. It is equipped with copier, printer, and scanner functions from the start—optional fax functions are available if needed. Multiple copies are dispersed on the Kyocera Mita KM-C2525E at a rate of 25 pages-per-minute in both black and white and vivid color. First copies are output in less than 8 seconds in color and less than 6 seconds in black. The 85,000-impression monthly duty cycle is an excellent feature for busy offices.

Paper capacity on the Kyocera Mita KM-C2525E starts with dual 500-sheet drawers and 100-sheet bypass tray. The bypass tray is an excellent pick when printing on specialty papers such as cardstock, envelopes, or transparencies. Additional paper trays are available to add to reach the max of 4,100 sheets. This includes an optional 3,000-sheet large capacity tray (LCT).

Standard automatic duplexing can reduce unnecessary paper usage and limit hardcopy storage. Single-sided documents that are input into the KM-C2525E are transformed into double-sided output. Toner cartridges are needed in black (TK-827K), cyan (TK-827C), magenta (TK-827M), and yellow (TK-827Y). The black toner has an estimated yield of 15,000 pages at 5 percent coverage; each color has an estimated page yield of 7,000 at 5 percent.

Pros:

• Versatile features
• 3,000-sheet LCT option
