Kyocera FS-820 Printer Review
Expert review of the Kyocera FS-820 printer
The Kyocera FS-820 is an entry-level and personal laser printer for the home office. It's reasonably priced with the basic functions one could expect from a robust and single function machine, with the convenience of user-friendly operation and easy set up. However, the Kyocera FS-820 A4 monochrome printer lacks connectivity and expansion options.
Design
The boxy 9.48kg frame that measures 15 inches wide, 15.4 inches deep, and 9.6 inches tall is fairly compact, with a curved top to soften the tough, industrial form. The output bin serves as the top cover and it's adjacent to two LED status indicators and two one-touch buttons. The rear part has the USB 2.0 and parallel ports. The resolution is 1200dpi, but its paper transport and head are 1800dpi and 600dpi respectively. The system runs on 16MB of memory. The Kyocera FS-820 mono laser printer can handle up to 250 sheets of paper with an autoload tray and a manual load feeder.
Advantages
It has a card reader that supports compact flash cards. The Kyocera FS-820 desktop laser printer works with Windows 7. The memory is upgradeable to 272MB. Quiet operation won't disrupt the small office. The compact build is suitable for most desktops. Additional drivers are available to enhance the performance and functions of the Kyocera FS-820 black and white printer, such as adjusting the document or image's brightness and contrast and predefined profiles like overhead transparency printing and two-page per sheet printing. Very cheap compatible Kyocera TK-110 black cartridges can work in the Kyocera FS820 to make the machine much more affordable to operate.
Disadvantages
Media handling isn't versatile and there's no way to expand the memory and paper capacity. The Kyocera FS820 personal laser printer only prints in black and white. The FS-820 printer is slow too, with mediocre print quality.
