Kyocera TASKalfa 220 Printer Review
Expert review of the Kyocera TASKalfa 220 printer
The Kyocera TASKalfa 220 is best for basic monochrome printing. This multifunction device is aimed at small to medium workgroups that would like to improve their productivity. Documents are printed sharply in crisp detail with bold text and smooth graphics, but users need to pay for more with optional accessories that could make the device more efficient and user-friendly.
Design
The Kyocera TASKalfa 220 has a compact shape with an understated and universal build for easy set up and operation. It weighs approximately 33Kg with the toner installed, and it measures 502mm tall, 552mm deep, and 574mm wide. The universal paper cassette can handle 300 sheets at a time, while the multipurpose bin can handle 100 sheets. The output capacity is 250 sheets, facedown. The printer runs on 32MB of standard memory. The device has a flatbed scanner and digital copier. One-touch operational buttons are on the control panel.
Advantages
Up to 22 pages per minute can be printed by the Kyocera TASKalfa 220, with the first copy ready in 5.7 seconds or less. There is a built-in 50-sheet RDAF to save time when copying double-sided originals. The 600dpi resolution is backed by a 256-greyscale feature to retain details, even when the image is printed in black-and-white. The paper capacity of the Kyocera TASKalfa 220 is expandable to 1,300 sheets. Long-life components minimise maintenance costs.
Disadvantages
The Kyocera TASKalfa 220 can only print in monochrome. It is expensive, and users might need to spend more if they want the optional duplexer and GDI printer. On-board operation can be intimidating because of the busy and awkwardly positioned control panel of the Kyocera TASKalfa 220.
