Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 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 run a small office or workgroup of 5-20 people that needs A4 color print, copy, and scan — and doesn't need A3.
  • You print 1,500-5,000 pages a month — the 100,000-page duty cycle is real headroom for an A4 unit.
  • You want a small-footprint Kyocera color MFP that fits on a credenza, not a floor.
  • You need banner printing up to 8.5 x 48 inches occasionally — it's standard on this platform.
  • You want Kyocera's long-life drum economics in a desktop-class machine.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 5,000-8,000 pages a month — the 30 ppm engine handles it but you'll be refilling the 600-sheet capacity often.
  • You need to scan stacks of multi-page documents — the optional 75-sheet RADF is fine for occasional batches but slow for daily heavy scanning. Look at the 356ci for 60 ipm.
  • You need fax — fax is an optional board.
  • You're replacing an HP or Brother A4 color MFP — Kyocera Command Center is different but operators adapt fast.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need A3 (11x17) — this is A4 only. Get the TASKalfa 3050ci or 3051ci.
  • You print under 500 pages a month — get a small desktop laser instead, you don't need a 100,000-page-a-month engine.
  • You scan more than 200 pages a day — the 75-sheet RADF will bottleneck you.
  • You need a 7-inch or larger touchscreen — this is a 4.3-inch panel. The 356ci/406ci have 7-inch panels.
  • You need 1200 x 1200 dpi — this is 600 dpi multi-bit.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Kyocera TASKalfa 306ci is an A4 color laser multifunction designed for small offices and workgroups of 5-20 people. It runs at 30 ppm in both black and color, has a 5.8-second first-copy-out time, and is rated for a 100,000-page monthly duty cycle — generous for an A4 unit. Standard paper capacity is 600 sheets (one 500-sheet cassette plus a 100-sheet multipurpose tray); max is 3,100 sheets with optional cassettes. Auto duplex is standard, and banner printing up to 8.5 x 48 inches is supported out of the box. Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, AirPrint, and Mopria are standard; Wi-Fi and fax are optional. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen handles scan-to-email, scan-to-folder, scan-to-USB, and basic copy/print workflows — it's a smaller panel than the 7-inch on the step-up 356ci/406ci, which matters if you plan to run HyPAS scan apps. The reason this platform sells: small footprint A4 color with real duty cycle, Kyocera's long-life drum, and a price point that undercuts most A3 color MFPs. The thing buyers regret: choosing 4.3-inch panel over 7-inch — operators who do heavy scanning find the smaller screen cramped.
