Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 306ci is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You print 3,000 to 8,000 A4 pages a month for a 10-20 person office.
  • You're space-constrained and want a compact A4 unit.
  • You'll use 600-sheet standard input expandable to 3,100.
  • You print color marketing pieces occasionally.
  • You want long-life components for low CPP.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if the 4.3 inch touch screen is big enough.
  • It's fine if you keep 600 sheets standard.
  • It's fine if you skip the optional finisher.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you want a bigger touchscreen (move to CS 307ci or 308ci).
  • Skip this if you push past 10,000 monthly.
  • Skip this if you need A3 (look at the 2554ci).
  • Skip this if you need 4 GB RAM and 320 GB HDD.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Copystar CS 306ci is a compact 32 ppm A4 color MFP for busy offices that need quick, crisp output without giving up desk space — print, copy, and scan at 32 ppm B/W and color (Letter/A4). Standard input is 600 sheets expandable to 3,100, the 4.3 inch color touch screen runs the UI, and connectivity covers USB 2.0, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, AirPrint, and Kyocera Mobile Print. Monthly duty cycle is up to 100,000 pages with long-life components for low maintenance and per-page cost. The 4.3 inch color touchscreen runs HyPAS solution apps for basic scan workflow and authentication. Footprint is roughly 19 x 21 inches and weight is around 75 lb on the desktop. Power draw is under 1.5 kW peak with 1 W sleep. Mono toner yields around 12,500 pages and color around 5,000 each — modest yields for the entry chassis. Honest regret: at 4.3 inch touch this UI feels small for 2024 standards — the CS 307ci adds a 7 inch touch and the CS 308ci adds a 7 inch touch plus 4 GB RAM and 320 GB HDD for not much more.

FAQ

Copystar CS 306ci, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Copystar CS 306ci ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter black toner yields approximately 12,500 pages, while color toners yield around 5,000 pages each. Replacement high-yield toners (Kyocera TK-5197 series) offer 15,000 pages for black and 7,000 pages for each color. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Copystar CS 306ci prints at 32 ppm, while the CS 356ci offers 37 ppm, making the latter slightly faster. Both are A4-only MFPs, but the CS 356ci has a higher standard paper capacity (scalable to 3,100 sheets) and a 100,000-page monthly duty cycle, similar to the CS 306ci. The CS 306ci features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, while the CS 356ci does not specify screen size but includes similar connectivity options. For small offices needing faster output, the CS 356ci is a better value, but both are compact and efficient for letter/legal workflows.
Yes, the Copystar CS 306ci is well-suited for small businesses with its 32 ppm print speed, 100,000-page monthly duty cycle, and compact footprint. It supports print, copy, and scan functions with a 600-sheet standard input (expandable to 3,100 sheets) and includes Wi-Fi and mobile printing. However, if your business requires higher volume or A3 (11x17) printing, consider stepping up to a commercial option like the Copystar CS 3252ci or CS 3552ci.
Yes, the Copystar CS 306ci is a color MFP that prints, copies, and scans in both color and monochrome at 32 ppm. It uses high-yield color toners (TK-5197 series) with yields of 7,000 pages per color cartridge. If you need alternatives, consider the Copystar CS 307ci or CS 308ci for upgraded features like larger touchscreens and additional RAM.
