Choose The Kyocera FS-1700 Plus Toner For Your Printer Today!

Taking a look at the Kyocera FS-1700 Plus printer using Kyocera FS-1700 Plus Printer Toner reveals a small office/small network laser monochrome printer from a company that appears to really get that business needs should come first with printers of this type. It also is slightly different in that it doesn't use the standard toner and drum setup to accomplish its print tasks, which helps to set this durable and high-quality printer apart from its peers.

Making use of what the company calls a cartridge-free application, the FS-1700 Plus employs a developer system known as EcoSys that helps to increase the printer's print capacity to much farther out than a traditional printer's range. And while the initial cost of the printer may be higher than its contemporaries, it's 3 year / 300,000-page print guarantee helps it justify the higher cost quite easily.

When it comes to print resolution, the FS-1700 Plus does fine, delivering output at 600 by 600 dots per inch (dpi). Printed materials will emerge look crisp and clear, and its included processor (a 66 MHz model) and 24 megabytes of RAM is sufficient for most any large print job. RAM can be increased to 66 megabytes with little trouble. This printer is capable of integrating with Windows OSs up to 98 and NT 3.51, along with Mac OS 7.5 or higher, by the way.

When it comes to weight, Kyocera products aren't porky, coming in at around 31 pounds (14 kilograms) is nice. It can hold 350 sheets of paper within its decently-compact size, too. It can be had with an optional duplex, and there's a one year warranty that can be extended out a bit for just a bit more money, though there's really very little that looks like it might require other than normal maintenance.

The printer also takes the most common paper sizes (letter, legal and A4) and can print out 12 pages per minute. It can print on transparencies, labels and plain paper and it interfaces through standard bidirectional parallel and serial ports. These are a bit dated in this day and age but are also very durable, so that's a point in its favor.

If it's going to be integrated into an office environment, it's going to require a 220/240 volt outlet in order to run, so keep that in mind before purchasing. Most standard printers in this segment utilize 110/120 volt, which puts this model out of the mainstream just a bit. This can be justified because the Kyocera has the lowest cost per page of any printer in its segment, by far.

Kyocera has also included another proprietary system called EcoMemory. It's a way of compressing memory such that it's actually increased by about 50%, for all intents and purposes. The way in which the printer's been designed and configured will give the Kyocera years more useful life than most computers of its type and in its particular market segment.

Once one has stopped to take a look at the Kyocera FS-1700 Plus printer and all that it can do, one will quickly come to the conclusion that it may be worth the initial upfront cost to get the Kyocera because of its excellent durability and low cost to print a page. Its very long duty cycle can help to make it a good candidate for the small office or small network environment, and it appears to be very durable, to boot.

Running this printer with FS-1700 Plus Printer Toner continues its cost-effective nature. Quality and clarity are earmarks of Kyocera Toner and with few reprints needed, Toner lasts longer.
