FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N full-color printers provide superior performance and professional color output at an affordable price

Fairfield, New Jersey – April 13, 2005 – Kyocera Mita America, one of the world’s leading document imaging companies, today introduced the FS-C5020N and the FS-C5030N full color printers. These powerful solutions possess all the needs of a reliable workgroup printer, including speed, productivity, versatility, enhanced features, and quality output at an ultra low cost.

Businesses require fast and affordable printing solutions; the FS-C5020N and the FS-C5030N rise to the challenge delivering 17 pages per minute (ppm) and 26-ppm output in both color and monochrome, respectively. Both printers boast the lowest total cost of ownership in their class, providing an affordable solution to any organization’s needs . In addition, both devices have an outstanding 600 dpi multi-bit color image quality onto a variety of media and paper weights. The FS-C5020N and the FS-C5030N each have a standard 10/100Base TX Ethernet interface for seamless network integration.

“Today’s businesses need the flexibility and efficiency of affordable desktop printing without sacrificing quality,” said Rich Berberian, product manager, printer products, of Kyocera Mita America. “Our goal is to provide end-users with high performance, high quality, reliable products all with a low total cost of ownership. The FS-C5020N and the FS-C5030N provide all of that and more—they are fast and productive, with low acquisition costs and low output costs resulting in increased efficiency and an improved bottom-line.”

The FS-C5020N and FS-C5030N printers include a 500-sheet paper drawer and a 100-sheet multi-purpose tray. Both devices also have a standard print memory of 128MB (upgradeable to 1024MB via 100 Pin DDR DIMMs) and a standard Type 1 CF card slot. These full-color printers maintain Kyocera’s lowest industry total cost of ownership and commitment to reliability. The printers incorporate Kyocera’s ECOSYS printer technology, which allows toner to be replenished in the unit without disposal of the print drum. This not only cuts down the amount of waste, but also reduces toner replacement costs by two thirds compared to other printers. By utilizing the ECOSYS technology, a user can typically recoup a printer’s purchase price in one year or less.
