Good: Excellent paper-handling features, customizable 9" color touch screen, Kyocera Fleet Service that lets dealer perform routine maintenance tasks for customers remotely.
Bad: Wireless connectivity is only optional, not intended for small and medium-sized businesses.
Bottom Line: Production-level black-and-white MFPs with strong features.

Product Overview

The TASKalfa 8002i Series are Kyocera’s latest entries in its high-volume black-and-white MFP lineup. They consists of two devices that includes standard copying, printing, scanning and optional faxing. The two MFPs are the TASKalfa 7002i ($22,900) that copies and prints at 7oppm and TASKalfa 8002i ($29,090) that has an engine speed of 80ppm. First-page-print-time is 5.8 seconds on the 7002i and 5.4 seconds on the 8002i.

Both devices include a 1.2GHz processor, 4.5GB of memory and 320GB hard drive. There is also a 9″ color touchscreen control panel. The touch screen works like a tablet with touch-and-swipe functionality.

PCL and PostScript is supported.  USB and Ethernet is standard; Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi are optional.

There’s also Kyocera’s HyPAS software platform that provide features such as Cloud Connect (for scanning to and printing from the cloud) and Mobile Print. Other features are the DMS Link for keeping up with document management needs, PinPoint Scan for scanning-to-PC functionality, and Microsoft Sharepoint Connector.

The devices also include Kyocera Fleet Services, a cloud-based monitoring service that lets dealers perform routine maintenance tasks for their customers remotely.

The TASKalfa 8002i Series are good for large and production-level environments that has high printing needs but doesn’t require color output.
