I just notice, it is not a Konica, it is a Kyocera (are they the same?)
any way, the new Kyocera TASKalfa seem to have all/most the features that we want.
they are available with a 100 page dual scan auto doc feeder (i.e. scan both sides of the page in one pass), 75ppm simplex 50ppm/100ipm duplex. scan to USB thumbdrive, but no OCR included as far as I can tell (the ImageRunner 3480i does include OCR/scan to searchable text, but is much slower scanning, esp duplex)
drum should last for 300,000 imprints, 3 year warranty, and according to their propaganda, very reliable (this is from stuff I found on the net, mostly press releases)
Kyocera Mita extended their warranties of all TASKalfa products operating at 25 PPM or more to three full years or the life of the maintenance kit. In most cases, the three year limit would be reached first.
Kyocera’s long-life technology, known to deliver the ultra-reliability that businesses demand, helps reduce required service intervention while maximizing performance in every environment. The TASKalfa series is built with Kyocera’s long-life consumable technology, including the company’s Amorphous Silicon (ASi) drums, thus delivering maximum business “uptime” through a class leading 300,000 page preventive maintenance (PM) schedule. This incredible PM cycle creates longer intervals of time between required service visits and helps minimize maintenance costs for end-users.
