Do not let the understated design and compact frame of the Kyocera ECOSYS P4040dn fool you. It comes with features like a duplexer, mobile printing, and Gigabit Ethernet to boost productivity in a small or home office, and it can produce clear and crisp text and images on A3 format sheet. This printer is a cost effective choice for users who do not require colour printing, but they might find it lacking if they need to produce documents in colour.

The default interfaces are high-speed USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and two USB host ports. The universal paper cassette can handle 500 sheets at a time, and a multi-purpose tray can handle 100 sheets of specialty media. The output bin can handle 500 sheets face-down.
