Kyocera Machines in general

On the Voyager series color, e.g., KM-C2520, there is a known developer unit issue. which was supposed to have been fixed under warranty.

Any tips to improve Kyo copy quality? Just switched from Ricoh 6 months ago and faded solids
b/w and color seem to be the norm. Factory rep claims it is because Kyo doesn't "oversaturate" its images.

Adjust the "density" in the Adjustment/Maintenance section of the System Menu. I have found increasing the density 1 or 2 steps darker makes a difference in the "solids" when making copies.

I worked on Ricoh products for 19 years and we switched to Kyocera 3 years ago, BEST MOVE EVER. The drums last forever and it is a pleasure to service.

Also try color output "vivid" if you prefer "brighter" color. It's important these machines have the latest firmware installed. As mentioned, check the QA's and bulletins. Sometimes certain settings are changed because of actual field feedback. When ordering developing units. Make sure you order the lastest and not what is in the book.
