Kyocera 2-series Question

Re: Kyocera 2-series Question

Assuming all these machines are properly maintained:

Better than Kyocera Alphard Venus
Better than Lexmark
Not as good as Toshiba
Not as good as Konica Minolta

Probably not as good as Ricoh or Canon, but it's been too long for me to know.

One last question and I'll stop bugging you. Do the HyPass apps come standard on the 2 & 3 series?

and Vivid mode in the KX driver helps Kyo color POP!

Re: Kyocera 2-series Question

The KMxx52ci & KMxx53 series are almost identical, and a closer relative to the Hanabi than the Venus. All that being said, they corrected many of the problems on the Hanabi. The image quality seems to the more consistent. By now, all the defective fusers should be long gone. =^..^=

3253ci or 3553ci... different engines no?

Re: Kyocera 2-series Question

Low speed versus high speed differentiation.

Mainly its the consumables that are upgraded on the higher speed models to increase yield.
The engines look very similar. The maintenance modes are slightly more rudimentary on the low speed models. All the maintenance modes that you'd expect to see on the high speed models. =^..^=

Sorry, don't know that one. =^..^=

Re: Kyocera 2-series Question

Oh, and don't try using that FK-8550H fuser in your KM-3252ci. If you install with power ON, the machine will continue to run, compressing the pages in exit making them increasingly wavy, especially ledger. If you power OFF/ON it will error fuser mismatch.

Ask me how I know. =^..^=

OK thanks so much BC...

Am i correct here? .. the 32xx is low speed model design.. (32ppm is top speed for that model) . and the 35xx is the high speed design (and 35ppm is slowest on up to the 5053ci or even 8353ci?)

im deciding between the 2 because im looking to propose a 30ish ppm color A3 Kyocera..

(wow im on EU site.. the 3554ci is out!)

Correct.

Yes, the machine is a 2554 and when initially unboxed comes up with a one time menu to add a speed license to turn it into a 3554.

Re: Kyocera 2-series Question

This is not correct, sorry.
25ppm + 35ppm no license key available, see attachment......

[bronco31]

Re: Kyocera 2-series Question

so a 25xxci is really a firmware crippled 35xxci

Very interesting. Thanks, KYO.

Re: Kyocera 2-series Question

Today now i installed our first 2554ci prelauch system.

@skynet
sorry, you are right!

I found 2 labels for 25ppm + 35ppm inside from box
But we can`t order license for 35ppm at the moment.
Now we are waiting for toner to start analysing/ testing and so on.

Sorry to be late to the party.

When the xx52ci and xx02i series came out, the fusees didn't seem to last as long as they should. It didn't seem to matter if it was big machines or little machines, the fusers just didn't seem to be going their life. I think it was on this forum I ran across a solution that I have incorporated into setup.

U346 > Selecting Sleep Mode > Fuser Power Mode > Off > Start > Machine will call for reboot > Reboot the machine

Since incorporating the above into my setup and deploying out in the field, I have experienced waaaay less problems with the fusers on theses models. I continue to do this with the 3 and 4 series. In fact any Kyocera model that has the option of U346 > Selecting Sleep Mode > Fuser Power Mode, I turn it off.

I think that leaving Fuser Power Mode on makes the fuser stay on most all the time causing premature wear. Kyocera may have address this with firmware, but I still turn Fuser Power Mode off.

I hope this helps.
