Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 406ci 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 run a small office of 5 to 15 people and need color print, copy, scan with secure release.
  • You print 3,000 to 8,000 pages a month and want headroom without paying for a floor model.
  • You want a Kyocera-built engine through a Copystar dealer for local service.
  • You need 1200 x 1200 dpi for client-facing proposals and color charts.
  • You want gigabit Ethernet plus mobile print (AirPrint, Mopria) without a separate print server.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you print mostly black and only need color a few times a week.
  • It's fine if you'll add the optional fax kit later instead of at purchase.
  • It's fine if your scan volume is light enough that the 75-sheet DP isn't a bottleneck.
  • It's fine if you can live with desktop paper capacity and refill the 500-sheet drawer often.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need 11x17 (this is A4 only, max Legal).
  • Skip this if your monthly volume is consistently above 10,000 pages, look at the 5054ci or 6054ci.
  • Skip this if you need inline stapling or hole punch finishing.
  • Skip this if you scan large batches daily and don't want to pay for the larger feeder.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Copystar CS 406ci is a Kyocera TASKalfa 406ci with a different sticker on it. 42 ppm color and 42 ppm black, 1200 x 1200 dpi, and a 150,000-page monthly duty cycle that you should treat as a ceiling, not a target. Warm-up runs about 24 seconds and first page out is 5.8 seconds black, 6.9 seconds color. The standard configuration is desktop-class, so plan for 500 sheets in the drawer plus a 100-sheet bypass unless you spec the optional cassettes. USB 2.0, USB host, and Gigabit Ethernet are standard; fax and the 75-sheet document processor are extras you have to add line items for. One regret buyers mention: the standard 75-sheet DP is fine for short stacks but slows you down if you're scanning 50-page contracts daily, so spec the larger feeder upfront if scanning is a real workflow.
