Refreshed 65 ppm A3 B&W enterprise MFP with 220 ipm scan and HyPAS for 35K to 80K mono pages a month.
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."
Kyocera's TASKalfa 6501i prints A3 B&W at 65 ppm and is the next-generation refresh of the 6500i with updated controller and improved scan handling. Designed for enterprise floors running 35,000 to 80,000 B&W pages a month. Standard duplex print, dual-scan ADF runs at about 220 ipm for two-sided originals. Optional DF-7110 100-sheet stapler and DF-7120 saddle-stitch finisher. HyPAS workflow apps and Ecosys long-life drum architecture. One regret: at 65 ppm B&W only, the 6501i forces you to print color elsewhere — if even 15% of monthly work is color, source the 6551ci instead at similar chassis cost. For pure mono high-volume enterprise workflows where Kyocera Cloud Print is not yet required, the 6501i is a clean choice with strong cost-per-page economics from the long-life drum.

Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for exact pricing.
