Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 4501i 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 produce booklets, manuals, or stapled reports in-house and want inline finishing.
  • You print 30,000 to 80,000 pages a month, mostly A4.
  • You want HyPas to run cloud connectors (SharePoint, Google Drive) on the panel.
  • You scan large batches daily and the 160 ipm color scanner pays off.
  • You'll spec the 175-sheet DSDP and at least one finisher.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if A3 print is rare and 22 ppm is acceptable for those jobs.
  • It's fine if you start with the 100-sheet ADF and upgrade later.
  • It's fine if you skip the booklet finisher and just want stapling.
  • It's fine if you only scan in B&W.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need color print output.
  • Skip this if A3 is your primary format, the 22 ppm A3 speed will frustrate.
  • Skip this if your monthly volume is under 8,000 pages, it's oversized.
  • Skip this if you don't want to pay extra for the finisher to enable the booklet feature.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Copystar CS 4501i is a 45 ppm A4 / 22 ppm A3 black-and-white MFP that adds finishing options the 4500i doesn't have, namely inline stapling, hole punching, and saddle-stitch booklet making if you spec the right finisher. 600 x 600 dpi native, 9,600 dpi equivalent through Kyocera's multi-bit smoothing. Standard tray is 1,150 sheets and you can grow it to 7,150. The 100-sheet ADF is standard, 175-sheet is optional. Scan speed hits 160 ipm in mono. The HyPas platform lets you run business apps directly on the panel (cloud connectors, custom workflows) without a separate server. The regret: at 22 ppm A3 it's not fast for tabloid work, so if you print a lot of 11x17 plans or spreadsheets you'll feel the slowdown compared to dedicated A3 engines.

FAQ

Copystar CS 4501i, 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 4501i ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically yields around 35,000 pages. Replacement toner options include the standard cartridge (TK-6307/TK-6309) with a 35,000-page yield and the high-yield cartridge (TK-6309H) with a 46,000-page yield. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Copystar CS 4501i is a monochrome MFP with a speed of 45 ppm (A4) and 22 ppm (A3), while the Copystar CS 2550ci is a color MFP with a speed of 25 ppm for both color and monochrome. The CS 4501i offers higher toner yields (up to 46,000 pages) compared to the CS 2550ci (12,000 pages for black and 6,000 pages for each color). Additionally, the CS 4501i has a higher standard paper capacity (1,150 sheets) and supports advanced finishing options like saddle-stitch booklet making. For small offices needing color, the CS 2550ci is a cost-effective choice, but for higher volume monochrome printing, the CS 4501i is more efficient.
The Copystar CS 4501i is well-suited for small businesses with its 45 ppm print speed and a standard paper capacity of 1,150 sheets, expandable to 7,150 sheets. It includes features like inline stapling, hole punching, and saddle-stitch booklet making, which are useful for small office environments. However, if your business requires color printing or higher volume A3 output, consider stepping up to a commercial option.
No, the Copystar CS 4501i is a monochrome printer and only prints in black and white. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Copystar CS 2550ci, Copystar CS 2552ci, or Copystar CS 2553ci.
