Manual of product TASKalfa 2020
Editorial note
The Kyocera TASKalfa 2020 stands out with its fast printing speed of 20 pages per minute, contributing to increased productivity in demanding work environments. Its color printing quality, with a maximum resolution of 1800 x 600 DPI, ensures vibrant and accurate documents and images. Additionally, the N-in-1 copy feature allows for optimizing time and resources by making multiple copies in a single operation. The maximum paper feed capacity of 1300 sheets reduces the frequency of paper reloading, thus improving the efficiency of office tasks. The built-in LCD screen makes accessing various features easy, making the use intuitive. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The lack of automatic duplex copying may limit time and paper savings when printing double-sided documents. Furthermore, Wi-Fi connectivity is missing, requiring a direct connection with an Ethernet cable for printing from mobile devices. The printing speed for A3 format is only 10 ppm, which may be insufficient for high-volume printing environments. Additionally, its weight of 27 kg makes the device cumbersome to move, which can pose installation challenges. The maximum scanning resolution, while adequate, may not satisfy users with very high demands. Finally, the absence of advanced features, such as direct printing from mobile devices, may restrict its use in various professional contexts. Overall, the Kyocera TASKalfa 2020 offers good value for money with its features and performance, although some limitations may influence its suitability based on specific user needs.Score details
