The niche of multifunction devices withKyocera Taskalfa 181 is aimed at an impressive volume of printing and maximum speed. This MFI is quite capable of providing document circulation within the framework of even a large organization with the number of personal computers of about 100 pieces. Its specifications and characteristics, as well as feedback on it will be further considered.
The most optimal, as noted earlier,use the considered universal solution for printing, scanning and copying in a large organization. In this case, the resources of this MFP will be maximally loaded, and the use of such an expensive solution will be justified. Another place where such a product can be successfully used is an office of medium scale with 30-50 workplaces with a PC. But in order to fully justify the use of such an expensive enough multifunctional solution in such conditions, you need an impressive amount of printed documentation within a month. Another place to use this MFP may be a copy center.
The Kyocera Taskalfa 181 simply boasts the perfect bundle. It includes everything that allows you to start using for your intended purpose this universal solution. More precisely, the following:
MFP.
Interface cable for switching via USB interface to PC.
Power supply cable for multifunctional device.
User guide.
Disk with software.
Cartridge.
And, of course, the warranty card.
The maximum paper page sizes in thisThe case is limited to 297 mm in width and 420 mm in length. That is, it is a standard sheet of A3 format. Also in the list of supported standard formats of this device there are A4, A5, B5 and even letter. In addition to this, this modification of the MFP canOutput on all types of envelopes, the size of which is less than A3. Another important feature of this device is that the minimum paper weight for printing is 60 g / m2. On pages with a lower density,it is recommended to perform the output for the reason that the subsystem of supply and printing can fail. The maximum value of the density in this case is 163 g / m2. That is, this MFP can print even on A3 paper.
To get the first page with dimensions A3this MFP will spend 17.2 seconds. Within the same minute it is able to issue 8 pages of such a large enough format. If you reduce the size of the sheet to A4, the number of pages will increase to 18. But at the same time for the output of the first of them you will still need to spend all the same 17.2 seconds because most of them will be warming up the Kyocera printing system Taskalfa 181. The scanner at best can digitize within a minute 10-12 pages. The main limitation in this case is the speed of the operator, not the MFP.
In terms of resolution, the device in question completely repeats the specifications of Taskalfa 180. The printer and the copier are in600X600. Such a density of points is enough to output high-quality documentation using laser printing technology. Slightly better resolution options for scanning. In this case, digital copies in color can be obtained in 1200X1200 resolution.
The two main switching methods are implemented in this MFP. The main one is RJ-45 and twisted pair.In this case, the multifunction device in question is directly connected to the computer network and the functions of the print server, copying and scanning are realized. The second, the backup interface is the USB. In this case, the device management functions are already assigned to the nearest PC, without which it is already impossible to fully reveal the potential of the MFP.
In monochrome printing mode, you canoutput documentation Kyocera Taskalfa 181. The cartridge, as a result, for these purposes you only need one. His model is TK-435. After purchase, its print resource is equal to 700 pages. But after the first full refueling, this value increases to 1000 sheets. The maximum permissible monthly print size according to the manufacturer's recommendations is 20,000 pages. Starting from these numbers, it is not so difficult to determine that in such an intensive mode of using the device, the cartridge will have to be refilled 20 times a month or 4-5 times a week.
Practically with any kind of existing onthe current time of the system software can work Kyocera Taskalfa 181. First of all it is "Windows". All current versions of this operating system are supported. There are also drivers for both 32-bit versions and 64-bit versions. The second fairly common operating system, the support of which is implemented by the manufacturer in the drivers, is "McOS." Well and in addition to it the manufacturer has not forgotten and about "Linux". As a result, from the software standpoint, there are no restrictions when using such an MFP.
Price for the model in question, as well as the closest analogue in the face of Taskalfa 180, quite impressive - 12 000-13 000 rubles.On the one hand, this is a high cost, even by the standards of the premium MFI segment. But if you take into account its technical parameters, impressive volume of printing for a month and high speed of issuing prints, it becomes obvious that such an approach to pricing is justified.
First of all, users accentuateattention to the more improved version of the Kyocera Taskalfa 181/221. It has even more advanced parameters and faster performance. But at the same time, the cost increases. The question of the expediency of overpaying for these characteristics and speed, in essence, remains open. In this case, there will certainly not be any tangible difference from using an improved version of the MFP. Therefore, it is more reasonable to save on the purchase of a multifunctional device and purchase a younger model. It is at this moment that the owners and specialists in their reviews focus their attention.
For its niche is very, very balancedthe decision turned out multifunctional device Kyocera Taskalfa 181. Its capabilities are quite enough for the organization of document circulation within the copy center, medium and even large office. At the same time, his speed is decent, the cost is adequate, and the parameters are in no way inferior to direct competitors.
