Product Overview
The new TASKalfa 9002i is an extension to the TASKalfa 8002i Series in Kyocera’s high-volume black-and-white MFP lineup. At $32,783, it’s intended for companies that work with very high-volume amount of documents, such as publishing firms or central reprographics departments (CRDs). It copies and prints at up to 90ppm and supports standard copying, printing, and scanning, and optional faxing.
First-page-print-time is 4.3 seconds. The 9002i includes 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, Ethernet and Wi-Fi is standard; Gigabit Ethernet is 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 9002i is good for large and production-level environments that has high printing needs but doesn’t require color output.
