Manual of product FS-6970DN
Editorial note
The Kyocera FS-6970DN printer stands out for its high printing speed of 35 pages per minute and a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, ensuring high-quality prints suitable for the needs of professional environments. Additionally, its automatic duplex printing feature contributes to more efficient paper usage, which is an asset for environmentally conscious users. With a maximum input capacity of 1350 sheets, this printer can handle a large volume of documents without requiring frequent interventions. However, there are some limitations to consider. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity may restrict usage flexibility, forcing users to connect via an Ethernet cable. Furthermore, its weight of 19,500 g may pose portability issues, making frequent relocation difficult. The output capacity of 250 sheets may also seem insufficient for very busy offices, just like the duplex printing speed of 17 ppm, which is relatively slow compared to other competing models. Finally, although the maximum duty cycle is 150,000 pages per month, the recommended cycle of 20,000 pages may not be suitable for users with higher printing demands. In summary, the Kyocera FS-6970DN is a high-performing printer offering interesting features for work environments, but it has certain limitations in terms of connectivity and capacity that should be considered before purchase.Score details
