Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 4012i 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 workgroup of 15-50 people that needs A3 mono print, copy, and color scanning at 40 ppm.
  • You print 4,000-12,000 pages a month — well inside the 165,000 duty cycle.
  • You scan stacks of color or mixed-original documents — the optional DP-7110 dual-scan ADF runs at 160 ipm one-pass duplex.
  • You want standard wireless plus NFC tap-to-print for Android — both are built in (most A3 mono MFPs need an add-on for NFC).
  • You need a 4-in-1 with optional Fax System 12 and dual fax line support.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 12,000-20,000 pages a month — the engine handles it; the 5012i or 6012i is the upgrade if your jobs run long.
  • You need finishing — the 1,000-sheet DF-7120 or 3,000-sheet DF-791 with optional 7-bin mailbox bolts on.
  • You're replacing a Ricoh, Canon, or Konica A3 mono — operators adapt to the 9-inch HyPAS panel in 1-2 weeks.
  • You want banner output up to 11 x 17 — supported from the multi-purpose tray.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color output — this is mono only with a color scanner. Look at the 3552ci or 4053ci for color print.
  • You print under 1,500 pages a month — you're paying for an enterprise A3 unit you won't fill.
  • You're buying new in 2026 — the 4012i is end-of-life. The 4004i is the current refresh on the same chassis.
  • You need true 1200 dpi at full speed — 1200 x 1200 dpi runs at reduced speed; standard production is 600 x 600 dpi.
  • You need scan-to-SMBv3 or modern TLS — this 2018 platform tops out at SSL/older TLS; the 4004i is the upgrade if your IT requires current crypto.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Kyocera TASKalfa 4012i is a network-ready A3 monochrome MFP for workgroups of 15-50 users — part of the 4012i/3212i series Kyocera launched in 2018. Engine speed is 40 ppm at Letter (21 ppm at Legal and Ledger), with a 3.6-second first-copy-out and a 165,000-page monthly duty cycle. The configuration is print, copy, color scan, with optional Fax System 12 (single or dual fax). Resolution is 600 x 600 dpi at engine speed, going to 1200 x 1200 dpi at reduced speed. Standard paper capacity is 1,100 sheets across two 500-sheet drawers plus a 100-sheet MPT, expandable to 4,100 with the dual 500-sheet PF-791 or dual 1,500-sheet PF-810. The 9-inch color touchscreen tilts for ergonomics and runs Kyocera HyPAS apps. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, four USB host ports, plus 802.11b/g/n wireless and NFC tap-to-print built in — that's the differentiator versus most A3 mono MFPs from this era. The optional DP-7110 dual-scan ADF is the upgrade most buyers want: 160 ipm one-pass duplex versus 48 ipm on the base DP-7100. Where this fits: a 15-50 person mid-sized office that needs A3 mono on a current-enough chassis but doesn't want to pay for the 4004i's modern security stack. Where it doesn't: anyone whose IT requires SMBv3, TLS 1.3, or FIPS 140-2 — get the 4004i instead.
