Kyocera FS-1118MFP Printer Review
Expert review of the Kyocera FS-1118MFP printer
Our Verdict:
This laser printer may be small and compact, but it is packed with features to make it more efficient for a small office or a busy individual. The Kyocera FS-1118MFP monochrome A4 multifunctional is fast enough for printing documents and it offers ample paper capacity for low volume jobs, but it is only compatible with Windows and the high price of the FS-1118 MFP laser printer could make the budget-conscious consider other options.
Design
This 14.51Kg multifunction printer measures 19.5 inches wide, 15.2 inches tall, and 16.6 inches deep, so it is quite compact enough to fit most standard office desktops. The Kyocera FS-1118MFP mono laser printer runs on 96MB of memory and a 300MHz PowerPC 750CXR processor. Connectivity options include parallel or high-speed USB interfaces.
Advantages
Print speeds are up to 18ppm and output looks outstanding and sharp enough in 1800x1800dpi resolution and the signature Kyocera Image Refinement 2 technology. The memory of the Kyocera FS-1118MFP can be upgraded to 320MB. There is a 50-sheet multi-purpose tray for speciality media. The Kyocera FS-1118MFP multifunction printer can handle various printer languages. Discounts on Kyocera FS-1118MFP toner are available online and to save even more money users can buy a recycled Kyocera FS1118 MFP cartridge instead of the OEM toner.
Disadvantages
It is not compatible with Mac operating systems and only runs on Windows XP, 98, 2000, ME, and NT 4.0. The Kyocera FS1118MFP printer is also criticised for its expensive price. Limited media handling capabilities could prevent users from getting creative with their print outs. The maximum media capacity of the Kyocera FS-1118 multifunction printer is only up to 550 sheets, so it may not be that efficient for a growing business. The scanner may not produce the sharpest images and the resolution is limited to 600x600dpi.
