Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 3501i 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 support 30 to 80 users in a shared workgroup printing 15,000 to 50,000 mono pages monthly.
  • You need encrypted storage, secure boot, and audit trails for compliance.
  • You scan high volumes daily and need the 270 ipm dual-scan throughput.
  • You want HyPAS custom workflows for scan-to-Sharepoint, scan-to-EHR, etc.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 8,000 to 15,000 pages a month and want long service intervals.
  • You'd benefit from the security features but won't max them out.
  • You'll add a finisher within the first year for stapled packets.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You're a small office under 5,000 pages monthly — the 3500i costs less and does the same work.
  • You need color anywhere in the workflow — this is mono only.
  • You won't use the security features and just want a basic copier — you're paying for things you won't touch.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The CS 3501i is the enterprise-class refresh of the 3500i — same 35 ppm letter speed but built on the newer chassis with a 10.1-inch touchscreen, faster controller, and the security features bigger orgs ask for (HDD encryption, secure boot, S/MIME). It handles 17 ppm at tabloid, 1200x1200 dpi output, and a duty cycle Kyocera rates at 200,000 pages a month. Realistic monthly volume is 15,000 to 50,000 mono pages. Standard capacity 1,150 sheets, expands to 7,150. The dual-scan feeder reads both sides in one pass at 270 ipm — genuinely fast. The regret pattern: IT departments ordering this for branch offices that only print 3,000 pages a month. It's overbuilt for that. Save money and buy the 3500i or even an A4 unit. Where it earns its keep is shared workgroup environments — 30 to 80 users, lots of legal and tabloid, security audits to pass. The HyPAS platform supports custom scan workflows that actually work, not just brochure features.

FAQ

Copystar CS 3501i, 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 3501i ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically yields around 35,000 pages at 5% coverage. For replacements, you can choose between the standard toner (TK-6309/TK-6307) with a yield of approximately 35,000 pages or the high-yield toner (TK-6309H/TK-6307H) with a yield of approximately 46,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Copystar CS 3501i is a monochrome printer with a speed of 35 ppm and a monthly duty cycle of 200,000 pages, making it suitable for high-volume environments. It features a 10.1-inch touchscreen, advanced security features, and a dual-scan feeder. In contrast, the Copystar CS 2550ci is a color MFP with a slower speed of 25 ppm, lower resolution (600 x 600 dpi), and a smaller monthly duty cycle. The CS 2550ci has an 8.5-inch touchscreen and lower toner yields (12,000 pages B/W and 6,000 pages per color). For small offices needing color, the CS 2550ci may be sufficient, but the CS 3501i is better for high-volume monochrome printing.
The Copystar CS 3501i is designed for high-volume environments, with a monthly duty cycle of 200,000 pages and a speed of 35 ppm. While it can handle the needs of a small business, it may be overbuilt for very small offices with low print volumes (e.g., 3,000 pages per month).
No, the Copystar CS 3501i is a monochrome printer and does not support color printing. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Copystar CS 2550ci, Copystar CS 2552ci, or Copystar CS 2553ci.
