Manual of product TASKalfa 5551ci
Editorial note
The Kyocera TASKalfa 5551ci is a multifunction printer that stands out for its printing speed, offering up to 55 pages per minute in black and 50 pages in color. Its maximum resolution of 600 x 600 DPI ensures sharp and precise prints, ideal for professional needs. Additionally, with a paper capacity of up to 7650 sheets, it is designed to handle large volumes without interruption. The all-in-one functionality, including printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, makes it a versatile tool for modern offices. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. Double-sided scanning is not available, which can slow down the process for two-sided documents. Furthermore, although the printing speed is high, the 30-second warm-up time can be a hindrance for those who require immediate printing. Manual double-sided printing also requires user intervention, which may be less convenient for high-volume tasks. Finally, its weight of 114 kg complicates moving and installation, and the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits its use in environments where a wireless network is preferred. In terms of user experience, the score of 78 indicates general satisfaction, although improvements in double-sided printing management would be appreciated. Performance is rated at 85, highlighting the printing speed, despite the wait time at startup. The design receives a score of 75, with good functionality but challenges in mobility. Features are valued at 80, emphasizing the usefulness of the available options, even though some limitations exist. In terms of value for money, with a score of 82, the printer appears to be a good investment for those with significant printing needs, despite restrictions in connectivity and features. Finally, support is rated at 70, suggesting that while a manual is available, additional resources on connectivity could be beneficial.Score details
